ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.

         BACKGROUND.  Arizona Land Income  Corporation (the "Company") is a real
estate  investment trust organized as an Arizona  corporation on March 10, 1988.
On that same date, the Company issued 100 shares of the Company's Class B Common
Stock to YSP Holdings,  Inc.,  the Company's  sponsor,  in return for an initial
capital contribution of $1,000.  Operations of the Company commenced on June 13,
1988.

         In June 1988,  the Company began  investing in first  mortgage loans on
unimproved real property  located in the  metropolitan  Phoenix area. Such loans
included  mortgage loans secured or  collateralized  by first  mortgages,  first
deeds of trust and real property  subject to agreements for sale and subdivision
trusts ("First Mortgage Loans"). From its inception until December 31, 1991, the
Company purchased interests totaling $34,120,000 in twenty First Mortgage Loans.
Since January 1, 1992, the Company has purchased only two First Mortgage  Loans,
and has  had to  institute  foreclosure  proceedings  with  respect  to  certain
properties  securing other First Mortgage Loans. See "Investment  Objectives and
Criteria" below. See also Note 4 to the financial  statements included in Item 7
for additional  information  concerning the Company's First Mortgage Loans.  The
Company has not identified any  opportunities to make new loans;  therefore,  in
the event of a loan maturity or sale of property,  the Company currently intends
to distribute the proceeds,  beyond what is needed for day-to-day  operations of
the Company, to its shareholders.

         The Company's goal has been to pay  distributions  of available cash to
shareholders and to preserve and protect  shareholders' net capital  investment.
The Company pays  extraordinary cash distributions to its shareholders when such
distributions  are warranted  based upon the Company's cash reserves at the time
of the  distribution  as well as the  Company's  projected  need  for  operating
capital.  During the 1999 fiscal year,  the Company  declared and paid four cash
distributions.  The  first  distribution  was for $.10 per share and was paid on
April  15,  1999 to  shareholders  of  record  on  April  6,  1999.  The  second
distribution  was for  $1.10  per  share  and  was  paid  on  July  15,  1999 to
shareholders of record on July 1, 1999. The third  distribution was for $.10 per
share and was paid on October 15, 1999 to  shareholders  of record on October 1,
1999. The fourth distribution was for $.10 per share and was paid on January 14,
2000 to shareholders of record on December 30, 1999.

         NO  PRESENT  INTENTION  TO  DISSOLVE.  As  disclosed  in the  Company's
prospectus used in connection  with the Company's 1988 initial public  offering,
the Company's  intent at the time of the public  offering was to dissolve within
approximately eight years after the date of such offering. The Company currently
has no immediate plans to dissolve and may not voluntarily  dissolve  anytime in
the immediate future. Any decision by the Company to dissolve will be determined
by the Company's  Board of Directors and will depend upon market  conditions and
other  pertinent  factors.  The  Company's  Board  of  Directors  possesses  the
discretion  to (i) continue to operate the Company and hold such First  Mortgage
Loans or real property until the Company's Board of Directors determines that it
is the Company's  best interest to dispose of such  investments,  (ii) sell such
First Mortgage Loans or real property on or about the dissolution date, in which
case the sale proceeds in excess of monies owed by the Company to creditors will
be distributed to the  shareholders  on a pro rata basis,  or (iii) issue to the
shareholders  participating  interests  in such  First  Mortgage  Loans  or real
property on a basis  proportionate to their respective stock ownership interests
in  the  Company.   In  the  event  the  Company  issues  to  its   shareholders
participating  interests in a First Mortgage Loan, the Advisor  (defined  below)
will continue to act as servicing  agent for the First Mortgage Loan and will be
paid a quarterly servicing fee equal to 1/16 of 1% of the aggregate  outstanding
loan balance of the First Mortgage Loan until the First Mortgage Loan is sold or
repaid.

         QUALIFICATION  AS A REAL  ESTATE  INVESTMENT  TRUST.  The  Company  has
qualified for real estate  investment  trust  ("REIT")  status for all tax years
since  its  inception,  and  management  and the  Company's  Board of  Directors
<PAGE>
believes  that the  Company  has  completed  the  necessary  steps to permit the
Company  to  continue,  if it so  chooses,  REIT  status  for the tax year ended
December  31,  1999.  REIT status  allows the Company to deduct from its federal
taxable income (and not pay taxes upon) dividends paid to its shareholders.  See
Item 6 - Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation.

         Generally,  if the Company is to maintain its REIT status, it must meet
a series of qualifications  including:  (i) restrict its investments principally
to assets that produce  interest  from  mortgage  loans  collateralized  by real
estate or which produce real property  rental income;  (ii) pay out at least 95%
of its taxable income (excluding  capital gains) to its shareholders;  (iii) pay
taxes at corporate  tax rates on capital  gains or  distribute  capital gains as
dividends to its shareholders;  (iv) hold less than 10% of the voting securities
of any single  issuer;  and (v) have an  independent  manager or advisor for its
assets. If the Company fails to maintain its status as a REIT, the Company would
not be  entitled to deduct from its federal  taxable  income  dividends  paid to
shareholders.

         INVESTMENT   OBJECTIVES   AND   CRITERIA.   In   evaluating   potential
investments,  the Company has  historically  considered such factors as: (i) the
borrower's  cash  investment  in the real property  securing the First  Mortgage
Loan;  (ii) the  loan-to-value  ratio of the  First  Mortgage  Loan;  (iii)  the
maturity date of the First Mortgage Loan;  (iv) the appraised  value, if any, or
past purchase prices of the real property  securing the First Mortgage Loan; (v)
the existence,  if any, of significant  debt junior to the first lien;  (vi) the
potential that the real property will  appreciate in value;  (vii) the identity,
financial  strength and payment history (if any) of the borrower under the First
Mortgage  Loan;  (viii)  the  growth,  tax  and  regulatory  environment  of the
communities in which the  properties  are or will be located;  (ix) the location
and  condition  of the  real  property;  (x) the  supply  of,  and  demand  for,
properties  of similar type in the  vicinity;  (xi) the  prospects for liquidity
through  the sale or  foreclosure  of the real  property;  and (xii)  such other
factors that become relevant in the course of the Company's evaluation process.

         The  Company's  historical  investment  objective  was to locate  First
Mortgage  Loans  that  satisfied  the  foregoing  investment  criteria.  Due  to
generally poor economic conditions in Arizona and in metropolitan Phoenix during
the early  1990's,  the Company did not acquire any  additional  First  Mortgage
Loans from 1989 until 1998 (other than refinancings or restructuring of existing
First Mortgage  Loans).  In 1998,  the Company  acquired one First Mortgage Loan
identified in footnote four to the Financial  Statements as loan 21. The Company
also  acquired  one First  Mortgage  Loan  identified  in  footnote  four to the
Financial Statements as loan 22 in 1999.

         MANAGEMENT  ARRANGEMENTS.  The Company has no employees.  The Company's
affairs are managed by its  non-salaried  officers under the  supervision of its
Board of Directors.  The Company and ALI Advisor,  Inc. (the "Advisor")  entered
into an advisory and servicing agreement (the "Advisory  Agreement") at the time
of the Company's  incorporation.  The Advisory  Agreement has expired by its own
terms;  however,  the Company and the Advisor have agreed to continue to operate
as if the terms and conditions of the Advisory Agreement are still in effect.

         Pursuant to the Advisor's  agreement  with the Company,  the Advisor is
authorized  to:  (i)  purchase  First  Mortgage  Loans,  subject  to review  and
ratification  by the Company's  Board of Directors;  (ii) serve as the exclusive
investment and financial advisor and provide research,  economic and statistical
data in connection with investments and financial  policies;  (iii) investigate,
select and conduct relations with accountants,  attorneys,  brokers,  investors,
and  others as  necessary;  (iv)  maintain  bank  accounts  and  records  deemed
appropriate  or  requested  by  the  Company's  Board;  (v)  perform  or  obtain
accounting  and other  services;  (vi) collect and remit  principal and interest
payments due on the First Mortgage Loans;  and (vii) perform such other services
as set forth in the Advisory Agreement.

                                       2
<PAGE>
         The Company has agreed to pay the Advisor a servicing fee for servicing
the Company's First Mortgage Loans.  The servicing fee is payable  quarterly and
equals 1/16 of 1% of the sum of (i) the  aggregate  outstanding  loan balance of
the First Mortgage Loans in the Company's mortgage loan portfolio,  and (ii) the
recorded value of property  acquired by the Company through  foreclosure,  as of
the first day of each fiscal quarter. During 1999 and 1998, the Company paid the
Advisor a servicing fee of approximately $38,000 and $40,700, respectively.

         The Company also agreed to pay the Advisor a management  fee for aiding
the Company in developing  investment  policies and  analyzing and  recommending
investments to the Company. The management fee will be paid for each quarter the
shareholders'  cumulative  return on  capital  investment  as of the end of such
quarter  exceeds  12.7%,  and will equal 30% of the Company's  available cash in
excess of that  necessary to provide  shareholders  with a cumulative  return on
capital  investment  in excess of 12.7%.  The  Company  did not  accrue or pay a
management fee to the Advisor in 1999 or 1998.

         The Company also agreed to reimburse  the Advisor  quarterly  for other
expenses  incurred in servicing  the Company's  First  Mortgage  Loans,  such as
legal, accounting and transfer agent fees and copying and mailing costs incurred
in preparing and mailing periodic  reports to shareholders.  The Company did not
reimburse the Advisor for any such expenses in 1999 or 1998.

         1999   TRANSACTIONS  AND  LOAN   MODIFICATIONS.   Set  forth  below  is
information  concerning the transactions and modifications that affect the First
Mortgage  Loans and which  occurred  during  1999.  The  mortgage  loan  numbers
referred  to below are  identifiers  for those loans on the books and records of
the Company. Additionally, these numbers are identified in the Company's initial
offering  prospectus  dated  June 6, 1988 and in Notes 4 and 5 to the  Company's
financial statements set forth in Item 7 hereof.

         1999 LAND SALES. The Company had five land sales during the 1999 fiscal
year, which in the aggregate generated a $267,000 gain on sale of properties.

         The Company  completed  three small land sales during the first half of
1999.  The Company  acquired  these three parcels of property,  located in Pinal
County,  Arizona,  through  foreclosure  on loan 6. The first  sale was a 3 acre
parcel of property;  proceeds to the Company  from this sale were  approximately
$5,900 cash.  The second sale was an 8.69 acre parcel of  property;  proceeds to
the Company from this sale were  approximately $900 cash and a $10,400 note. The
third sale was a 3.3 acre parcel of property;  proceeds to the Company from this
sale were approximately $1,000 cash and a $3,000 note.

         The Company  completed two land sales during the period of July 1, 1999
through September 30, 1999. The first sale was approximately an 8 acre parcel of
property  located  in  Peoria,  Arizona,  which  the  Company  acquired  through
foreclosure  on loan 11.  Proceeds to the Company  from this sale were  $507,800
cash. The second sale was a 4.4 acre parcel of property located in Pinal County,
Arizona,  which the Company acquired through  foreclosure on loan 6. Proceeds to
the Company from this sale were approximately $700 cash and a $4,700 note.

         In summary, the Company had five land sales during the 1999 fiscal year
that produced approximately $516,300 cash and $18,100 of receivables.

         In  addition to the above  referenced  land  sales,  for the  operating
period of January 1, 1999 through March 31, 1999,  the Company issued loan 22 to
a  third-party  to fund the purchase of land in Surprise,  Arizona.  The initial
proceeds of $562,000 were used in partial  settlement of the purchase price, and
a $14,000 mortgage broker fee was paid to an officer of the Company.  Loan 22 is

                                       3
<PAGE>
a 50% loan  participation  interest  on a  $1,125,000  loan that is secured by a
first deed of trust on 9.99 acres of land  located in  Surprise,  Arizona.  Such
loan was due December 15, 1999,  bears  interest at 3% over the prime rate never
to be less than 10.75%, and requires monthly interest payments.

         On January 13, 1999,  the Company also  received a total cash payoff on
loan 2 in the amount of  approximately  $675,100,  which included  approximately
$649,200 of principal and approximately $26,000 of interest. This collection was
in addition to periodic collections of principal on other notes.

         The Company also  modified one loan during 1999.  The maturity  date on
loan 22 was extended to June 15, 2000, from December 15, 1999.

(1)  See Note 7 to the financial statements included in Item 7.
(2)  The Company pays  extraordinary cash distributions to its shareholders when
     such  distributions are warranted based upon the Company's cash reserves at
     the time of the  distribution  as well as the Company's  projected need for
     operating  capital.  During 1999,  the Company  declared and paid four cash
     distributions.  The first  distribution was for $.10 per share and was paid
     on April 15, 1999 to  shareholders  of record on April 6, 1999.  The second
     distribution  was for  $1.10  per  share  and was paid on July 15,  1999 to
     shareholders of record on July 1, 1999. The third distribution was for $.10
     per share and was paid on October  15,  1999 to  shareholders  of record on
     October 1, 1999.  The  fourth  distribution  was for $.10 per share and was
     paid on January 14, 2000 to shareholders of record on December 30, 1999.

ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         YEAR ENDED  DECEMBER 31, 1999 VS.  1998.  The Company had net income of
approximately $1,043,000 or $.44 per share of Class A Common Stock, for the year
ended  December 31, 1999,  compared to net income of  approximately  $981,000 or
$.42 per share of Class A Common  Stock,  for the year ended  December 31, 1998.
The increase in the net income for the year ended December 31, 1999 is primarily
attributable  to the increase in income on mortgages and the increase in the tax
benefit from the prior year. Interest income from First Mortgage Loans increased
to  approximately  $664,900 in 1999 from  $464,000 in 1998.  Gain on the sale of
property increased to approximately $267,300 in 1999 from $199,000 in 1998.

         The Company had other income of approximately  $12,700 in 1999 compared
to other income of $83,000 in 1998. The other income  received by the Company in
1999 is primarily  attributable to lease rentals on land received by the Company
through foreclosure actions.

         The Company's  expenses decreased in the aggregate to $153,000 in 1999,
compared to $189,000 in 1998. This decrease of $36,000 is primarily attributable
to the decrease in professional  services from approximately  $65,600 in 1998 to
approximately $46,100 in 1999.

         The Company did not record any loan loss reserve or land write-downs in
1999 or 1998 because of the stabilization of the Phoenix real estate market.

         Net cash provided by operating activities was approximately $673,000 in
1999 compared to net cash provided by operating  activities of $415,000 in 1998.
Net cash  provided by investing  activities  in 1999 and 1998 was  approximately
$440,000 and $1,387,000,  respectively. Net cash used in financing activities in
1999 and 1998 was approximately $3,311,000 and $944,000, respectively.

OUTLOOK

         FORWARD-LOOKING   STATEMENTS.   The   following   discussion   contains
forward-looking  statements,  as well as a discussion of risks and uncertainties
that could affect the Company. Due to the risks and uncertainties, the Company's
actual  results  may  differ  materially  from  the  results  discussed  in  the
forward-looking statements.

         REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT OUTLOOK.  Refinancing of the loan or sale of the
underlying  real  property  serves as a principal  method for borrowers to repay
mortgage loans on unimproved  real property such as the Company's First Mortgage
Loans.  In Arizona in general,  and in  metropolitan  Phoenix in  particular,  a
number of factors combined to negatively impact borrowers'  ability to refinance
their loans on unimproved  real property or sell the underlying  property during
the early  1990's.  First,  the shortage of available  financing for real estate
development  and  improvement  reduced the demand for unimproved  real property,
causing a lack of liquidity in the market for unimproved property.  Second, real
estate  values in  metropolitan  Phoenix  had been in decline  and only began to
stabilize in the middle to late 1990's. Third, the lack of liquidity and decline
in values resulted in a large number of defaults on mortgage loans on unimproved
real property.  In turn,  this resulted in the  acquisition of large real estate
portfolios by Arizona financial institutions. These financial institutions, some
of which were under  government  supervision,  contributed to the illiquidity in
the market by holding their portfolios for extended periods of time.

         The Company  believes these and other factors have negatively  impacted
borrowers'  ability  to pay on their  First  Mortgage  Loans.  Because  interest
payments on First  Mortgage  Loans  constitute  the Company's  primary source of
income,  borrowers'  failure  to pay on their  First  Mortgage  Loans have had a
significant  adverse impact on the Company's  operating results.  In appropriate
circumstances,  the Company has modified a First Mortgage Loan at the request of

                                       6
<PAGE>
the borrower.  These  modifications have included the deferral by the Company of
principal due, the deferral of interest and, in certain instances, a decrease in
the interest rate paid by the borrower. In other circumstances,  the Company has
instituted  foreclosure  and other legal  proceedings to protect its interest in
the First Mortgage Loan and the underlying  property.  As a result,  the Company
now owns, and is attempting to sell, a number of  properties.  See Notes 4 and 5
to the  financial  statements,  included  in Item 7 for  additional  information
concerning the Company's First Mortgage Loans and for information regarding land
held for sale.  The Company has not  identified  any  opportunities  to make new
loans;  therefore,  in the event of a loan  maturity  or sale of  property,  the
Company currently intends to distribute the proceeds,  beyond what is needed for
day-to-day operations of the Company, to its shareholders.

         The Company  believes that the market for  unimproved  real property in
Phoenix  continues to improve,  as evidenced by the number of land sales for the
Company during 1999 and 1998. The Company sold five parcels of land in 1999, and
anticipates that additional parcels will be sold in 2000.  However, no assurance
can be made that such sales will occur.

         POTENTIAL DISSOLUTION. As disclosed in the Company's prospectus used in
connection with the Company's 1988 initial public offering, the Company's intent
at the time of the public  offering was to dissolve within  approximately  eight
years after the date of such  offering.  The Company  currently has no immediate
plans to dissolve  and may not  voluntarily  dissolve  anytime in the  immediate
future.  Any  decision  by the  Company to dissolve  will be  determined  by the
Company's  Board of Directors and will depend upon market  conditions  and other
pertinent factors.  The Company's Board of Directors possesses the discretion to
(i) continue to operate the Company and hold such First  Mortgage  Loans or real
property  until  the  Company's  Board of  Directors  determines  that it is the
Company's  best  interest to dispose of such  investments,  (ii) sell such First
Mortgage Loans or real property on or about the dissolution  date, in which case
the sale  proceeds in excess of monies owed by the Company to creditors  will be
distributed  to the  shareholders  on a pro rata  basis,  or (iii)  issue to the
shareholders  participating  interests  in such  First  Mortgage  Loans  or real
property on a basis  proportionate to their respective stock ownership interests
in  the  Company.   In  the  event  the  Company  issues  to  its   shareholders
participating  interests in a First  Mortgage Loan, the Advisor will continue to
act as servicing  agent for the First Mortgage Loan and will be paid a quarterly
servicing fee equal to 1/16 of 1% of the aggregate  outstanding  loan balance of
the First Mortgage Loan until the First Mortgage Loan is sold or repaid.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         The Company  believes  that the funds  generated  from  interest on and
payments of First Mortgage  Loans as well as the sale of its properties  will be
sufficient to meet the Company's working capital requirements and to finance any
additional  investments.  No other  arrangements,  such as lines of credit, have
been made to obtain external sources of liquidity. However, the Company believes
that such arrangements could be obtained by the Company, if necessary.

         The Company  currently  has no  commitments  for any  material  capital
expenditures  and does not anticipate any such  expenditures  in the foreseeable
future.

DIVIDENDS

         In 1998,  the Company  declared and paid four cash  distributions.  The
first  distribution  was for $.10 per share  and was paid on April  15,  1998 to
shareholders  of record on April 7, 1998. The second  distribution  was for $.10
per share  and was paid on July 15,  1998 to  shareholders  of record on July 1,
1998. The third  distribution was for $.10 per share and was paid on October 15,
1998 to shareholders of record on October 1, 1998. The fourth  distribution  was
for $.10 per share and was paid on December 31, 1998 to  shareholders  of record
on December 17, 1998.

                                       7

         In 1999,  the Company  declared and paid four cash  distributions.  The
first  distribution  was for $.10 per share  and was paid on April  15,  1999 to
shareholders of record on April 6, 1999. The second  distribution  was for $1.10
per share  and was paid on July 15,  1999 to  shareholders  of record on July 1,
1999. The third  distribution was for $.10 per share and was paid on October 15,
1999 to shareholders of record on October 1, 1999. The fourth  distribution  was
for $.10 per share and was paid on January 14, 2000 to shareholders of record on
December 30, 1999.

         In order for the Company to maintain its status as a qualified REIT, it
must, among other requirements, pay out in the form of dividends at least 95% of
its taxable income (excluding  capital gains) to shareholders and must pay taxes
at corporate  tax rates on capital  gains or  distribute at least 95% of capital
gains as dividends to shareholders.  If the Company fails to maintain its status
as a REIT,  the  Company  would no longer be entitled to deduct from its federal
taxable income (and not pay federal taxes on) dividends paid to shareholders.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                           DECEMBER 31, 1999 AND 1998


(1) ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS:

Arizona Land Income  Corporation  (the Company) was incorporated in the State of
Arizona on March 10, 1988 as a wholly owned subsidiary of YSP Holdings, Inc. and
completed an initial  public  offering on June 13, 1988. The net proceeds of the
initial  public  offering  of  $25,808,600  were used to acquire  and  originate
mortgage  loans  secured by  unimproved  real  property  located in the  Phoenix
metropolitan  area.  The Company has two  classes of common  stock,  Class A and
Class B. The  Class A shares  are  listed  for  trading  on the  American  Stock
Exchange.

The current  capitalization  of the Company and minimal  cash flow  requirements
afford the  Company  the ability to hold the  properties  and to finance  future
sales with a cash downpayment and terms.

(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

         CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Investments  with an original  maturity of less than 90 days when  purchased are
considered cash equivalents. At December 31, 1999, cash equivalents consisted of
U.S. Treasury Notes of $1,799,603 which mature in February 2000.

         MORTGAGE NOTES RECEIVABLE

Mortgage  notes  receivable  are presented at cost in the  accompanying  balance
sheet.  It is the Company's  policy to  discontinue  the accrual of interest for
notes in default as of the default date. In management's opinion, mortgage notes
receivable are stated at amounts not in excess of net realizable value.

         INVESTMENT IN PARTNERSHIP

During  1991,  the Company  purchased a 21.6%  limited  partnership  interest in
Pinnacle  Peak  Office/Resort  Investors,  the  borrower  on loan 1. The Company
accounts for this  investment  under the equity method.  The Company  recorded a
loss of  $7,934  in 1999  and  income  of  $183,792  in  1998,  related  to this
investment,  and  received a return on capital of $-0- and  $229,075 in 1999 and
1998, respectively.

         REVENUE RECOGNITION

Revenue from land sales is recognized in accordance  with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 66, ACCOUNTING FOR SALE OF REAL ESTATE, when the
parties  to the  sale  are  bound  by  the  terms  of a  contract,  an  adequate
downpayment  is  received,  a  reasonable  likelihood  exists  that any  related
receivable  will be collected and all  conditions  precedent to the closing have
been performed.

                                       15

         INCOME TAXES AND REIT STATUS

The Company has elected treatment as a real estate investment trust (REIT) under
Internal Revenue Code (IRC) Sections 856-860. A REIT is taxed in the same manner
as any corporation  except that it may deduct certain  qualifying  distributions
made to shareholders  and reduce or eliminate any potential  income taxes.  This
distribution  deduction must be at least 95% of the REIT's taxable  income.  For
all years presented, the Company has met the 95% distribution requirement.

The  Company   previously   elected  to  treat  certain  qualified  property  as
foreclosure  property under IRC Section 856(e)(5).  Accordingly,  during 1997, a
$120,000  deferred  federal  income tax  provision  was  recorded to reflect the
cumulative book to tax difference on foreclosure property sales through December
31, 1997 and the expected  future taxes to be paid when the gains are  reflected
in the income tax returns. During 1999, the Company determined it would not have
to pay taxes on any future  foreclosure  property  sales  based on  certain  tax
planning  strategies.  Thus,  the  deferred  tax  liability  was  removed  and a
corresponding  $120,000 income tax benefit was recorded in the accompanying 1999
statement of  operations.  During 1998, a tax refund of $17,786 was received and
recorded as income.

For income tax purposes,  certain  expenses or reserves for financial  reporting
purposes are not allowed as current tax deductions.  Similarly,  the Company may
take certain current  deductions for tax purposes that are not current  expenses
for financial  reporting purposes.  For example,  the Company recognized gain on
the sale of property for financial  reporting purposes which is in excess of the
current taxable amount from the sales. As a result of these differences, taxable
income  totaled   approximately   $650,000  and  $970,000  for  1999  and  1998,
respectively,  before  deductions for dividends  paid. Net operating  losses for
federal  income tax purposes  available to offset future  taxable income totaled
approximately  $2,240,000  at December  31,  1999,  and expire  through the year
ending 2010. Capital loss carry-forwards  total approximately  $196,000 and will
expire if unused in 2005.

         INCOME PER COMMON SHARE

Income per common share is computed  based upon the weighted  average  number of
shares of common stock outstanding  during the year. There are no stock options,
warrants or other common stock equivalents.

         USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial  statements in conformity  with generally  accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect  the  reported  amounts  of assets  and  liabilities  and  disclosure  of
contingent  assets and  liabilities at the date of the financial  statements and
the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from these estimates.

         LONG-LIVED ASSETS

SFAS No.  121,  ACCOUNTING  FOR THE  IMPAIRMENT  OF  LONG-LIVED  ASSETS  AND FOR
LONG-LIVED ASSETS TO BE DISPOSED OF, is utilized to determine if write-downs are
required  related to land held for sale.  SFAS No. 121  requires  the Company to
recognize  impairment losses for long-lived assets whenever events or changes in
circumstances  result in the carrying amount of the assets  exceeding the sum of
the expected future cash flows associated with such assets.

                                       16

(3) CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK:

The Company's financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit
risk consist primarily of short-term investments and mortgage notes receivable.

The Company's short-term investments are in high-quality  securities placed with
a  major  bank.  The  Company's   investment   policy  limits  its  exposure  to
concentrations of credit risk.

The  Company's  mortgage  notes  receivable  result  primarily  from the sale of
property to a broad base of borrowers  although  several loans are a significant
portion of total assets (see Note 4).

(4) MORTGAGE NOTES RECEIVABLE:

Management  determines  the rate and related  terms on its  individual  mortgage
notes  receivable  based  on  the  underlying  collateral,  the  quality  of the
borrower,  and the down payment  received.  The  majority of the mortgage  notes
receivable outstanding at December 31, 1999, were originated within the last 1-6
years and in management's  opinion,  the factors used to determine the rates and
related terms have not changed significantly. Based on this, management believes
that the fair market values of its mortgage notes receivable  approximate  their
carrying  amounts.  As of December  31, 1999,  all loans are current,  except as
described below, and all noncurrent loans are stated at amounts not in excess of
net  realizable  value of the  collateral  securing  the  loans.  Therefore,  no
additional adjustment for impairment is necessary.

Mortgage notes receivable consist of the following at December 31, 1999:
