ITEM 1.  DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Security Land and Development Corporation (the "Company") was organized and
incorporated in Georgia in 1970.  The Company, including its wholly owned
subsidiary, the Royal Palms Motel, Inc., has developed two (2) primary business
activities, these activities being (1) the acquisition of undeveloped land for
investment purposes and sale at a future date or development of the land and
sale after developed and, (2) the acquisition or development of income producing
properties for investment purposes and income from leasing activities.  The
Company's principal office and activities are in Augusta, Georgia.

The Company's primary development and income producing activities are:

1.   Retail stip center on approximately 15 acres on Washington Road in Augusta.
     Approximately 56,000 square feet is being leased to Publix Supermarkets,
     Inc. and is operated as a retail food supermarket.  The remaining 13,000
     square feet of rental space is available for lease to other tenants.  The
     Company has obtained tenants for and is leasing approximately 40% of the
     13,000 square feet.  Subsequent to September 30, 1996, the Company obtained
     additional tenants for this space, for a total occupancy of 80% of the
     13,000 square feet.  The Company is currently seeking additional tenants
     for the remaining space.  The Company owns approximately 35 acres of
     undeveloped land adjacent to the strip center and is marketing this
     property for sale as commercial and residential real estate.

2.   Building on approximately 1.6 acres of land in Augusta.  Leased to a single
     tenant for operation as a restaurant.

3.   Bulk warehouse storage facility in Athens, Georgia.  The Company owns and
     has available for lease approximately 248,000 square feet of storage space.

4.   Commercial property on Washington Road in Augusta, currently leased as a
     single family home.

The Company owns certain other properties that are described in Item 2.

Construction of the retail strip center in Augusta was completed in May 1995 and
the lease with Publix became effective May 15, 1995.  The center represents
approximately 90% of the Company's net leased assets.  Leasing revenue from the
lease with Publix Supermarkets, Inc. represented 88% and 71% of the Company's
total leasing revenue for the years ended September 30, 1996 and 1995,
respectively.  Management of the Company expects this lease to continue to
provide a substantial portion of the Company's revenue from leasing.  See
"Description of Properties" for additional information related to this property
and the lease agreement.

The land and building in Augusta leased for operation as a restaurant provided
7% and 17% of the Company's total leasing revenue for the years ended September
30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  See "Description of Properties" for additional
information related to this property and lease agreement.

                                       1
<PAGE>
 
The bulk storage warehouse facility in Athens provided 2% and 6% of the
Company's total leasing revenue for the years ended September 30, 1996 and 1995,
respectively.  Occupancy of the warehouse has been less than 10% annually for
the past three years.  While there are no known competing bulk warehouses in
Athens, the demand for bulk storage space has been insufficient to obtain
substantial occupancy.  Management of the Company does not expect leasing
revenue from this facility to contribute substantially to the Company's
continuing leasing revenue.  See "Description of Properties" for additional
information related to this property and lease agreements.

The Company owns additional undeveloped land in Dublin, Georgia and in the
Augusta, Georgia area that is being held for investment purposes.

A significant portion of the Company's real estate owned is on or near
Washington Road in Augusta, Georgia.  The area contains a large number of
business establishments.  Management of the Company believes that land in this
area is in great demand and  that the market value of the property owned is
greater than the carrying value.

The Company presently has three part-time employees, all of whom are officers
and stockholders of the Company.

ITEM 2.  DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTIES

The Company owns developed and undeveloped real estate in several locations in
the State of Georgia.  There are no limitations on the percentage of assets
which may be invested in any one property or type of property.  The Company
acquires various properties for investment purposes and for leasing activities.

The Company currently owns the following properties:

1.   Strip center on approximately 15 acres on Washington Road in Augusta,
     Georgia.

2.   Approximately 35 acres of undeveloped land on Washington Road in Augusta,
     Georgia, adjacent to the strip center owned by the Company.

3.   Approximately 1.6 acres with 3,300 square foot commercial building on
     Washington Road in Augusta, Georgia.

4.   Bulk warehouse storage facility on approximately 15 acres in Athens,
     Georgia.

5.   A 68% interest in 3.68 acres with a residential structure on Washington
     Road in Augusta, Georgia.

6.   A 68% interest in 6.92 undeveloped acres on Washington Road in Augusta,
     Georgia.

7.   108 undeveloped acres in south Richmond County, Georgia.

8.   A one-acre lot adjacent to the Royal Palms Motel in Augusta, Georgia.

9.   One lot on Stanley Drive in Augusta, Georgia.


                                       2
<PAGE>
 
10.  One undeveloped lot in Dublin, Georgia.

Construction of the retail strip center on Washington Road was completed May
1995.  The center has 69,000 square feet of available lease space.  The Company
has leased 56,000 square feet to Publix Supermarkets, Inc., which, as the
center's anchor store, operates a retail food supermarket.  The Company, as
lessor, has a twenty year lease agreement with Publix.  The lease became
effective May 15, 1995.  The lease provides for annual rentals of $463,205, and
for the Company to receive 1.25% of this store's annual gross sales in excess of
approximately $37 million.  For the Company's years ended September 30, 1996 and
1995, the supermarket had not achieved this sales level.  The lease also
provides for Publix to reimburse the Company for property taxes paid on the
facility on a pro rata basis of the space occupied by Publix.  For 1996 this
reimbursement was approximately $29,000.  At the lessee's option the lease may
be extended in five year increments for an additional twenty years on
substantially the same lease terms.  As part of the lease agreement, Publix
contributed approximately $500,000 to the construction of the facility.  The
Company capitalized this contribution and is recognizing it as revenue over the
twenty year life of the lease.  The center, excluding land, cost approximately
$4,800,000.  The Company has financed the center with a $4,300,000 loan fixed at
7.875% interest amortized monthly for twenty years.  Annual principal and
interest payments are $427,596.  The loan is secured by the center and the
assignment of lease payments from the property.  At September 30, 1996, the
Company had leased approximately 40% of the 13,000 square feet not leased to
Publix.  Subsequent to September 30, 1996, the Company obtained tenants for
approximately an additional 40% of this space.  These individual leases have
terms of from three to five years with monthly lease payments ranging from $900
to $1,300.  Following is certain information regarding the strip center at
September 30, 1996:

The Federal tax basis of the center, excluding land, is $4,832,561.  Accumulated
depreciation is $302,783.  The building and structure is being depreciated by
the straight-line method over 39 years.  The site work of the center is being
depreciated by the 150% declining balance method over 15 years.  Total property
taxes on the center for 1996 were $36,304.

The approximately 35 acres of undeveloped land adjacent to the strip center has
a Federal tax basis of $212,976.  There is no debt on the property.  The land is
accessed from Washington Road and Stanley Drive.  The Company is currently
marketing this property for sale as professional and residential real estate.

The 1.6 acres with 3,300 square foot commercial structure on Washington Road in
Augusta, Georgia is currently leased to an establishment that operates the
property as a restaurant.  The current lease agreement expires December 1997.
Annual lease payments are $44,000.  The lease requires the lessee to pay
substantially all costs associated with the property including insurance, taxes
and repairs.  There is no debt on the property.  The Federal tax basis of the
property, excluding land, is $99,100.  Accumulated depreciation is $25,530.  The
property is being depreciated by the straight-line method over 31.5 years.  The
Federal tax basis of the land is $300,900.  The average effective annual rental
rate for the building space was $13.45 per square foot for the year ended
September 30, 1996.  Property taxes on the land and building combined are
$5,260.

The warehousing facility located in Athens, Georgia is known as Chase Park and
is located on approximately 15 acres of land on Barber, Oneta and Chase Streets.
The facility consists of two structures with a combined total space of 248,000
square feet.  There are thirty-five warehouse compartments that are individually
leased.  The structures are wood frame with metal siding and have brick fire
walls separating warehouse compartments at various points.  The facility was
constructed in approximately 1902.  Some of the 248,000 square feet is in need
of repairs and is not in a leasable condition.  This facility is currently for
sale by the Company.  Based on square feet, the warehouse was approximately 5%
leased at September 30, 1996.  The Company is seeking additional tenants,
however, the demand for bulk warehouse space in Athens has not been sufficient
to maintain tenants.  The Company leases warehouse space on a relatively short-
term basis, generally



                                       4
<PAGE>
 
not extending beyond a one-year term.  There is no debt on the property.  The
Federal tax basis of the property net of accumulated depreciation of $520,333 is
$246,405 at September 30, 1996.  The property is being depreciated by the
straight-line method over an average life of eighteen years.  Annual real estate
taxes are approximately $6,000.  Due to the low occupancy of the warehouse,
presentation of average annual effective rental rates would not provide
meaningful information.

The combined Federal tax basis, for depreciation purposes, of the remaining
investment properties of the Company is approximately $150,000.

All of the properties owned by the Company are owned in fee simple interest,
except for properties where a percentage is stated.

In the opinion of management of the Company, all of the properties owned by the
Company are adequately covered by insurance.

Management of the Company is planning to construct a building at the west end of
the retail strip center on land owned by the Company.  The building will be
leased by the Company as commercial property.  The Company is negotiating a
lease of this property to Blockbuster Video.  Substantially all planning and
negotiations related to this potential construction and lease occurred
subsequent to September 30, 1996.

The Company is presently not a party to any matters of litigation.

ITEM 4.  SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO SECURITY HOLDERS

</TABLE>

The retail strip center was completed in May 1995, with 1996 being the first
full twelve month period of operations.  Annual lease payments from Publix are
$463,205.  At September 30, 1996, the Company had leased approximately 40% of
the additional space available for lease.  However, due to these leases
beginning near the fiscal year end, the positive impact on revenues will be
greater in the Company's next fiscal year.  In addition, the Company obtained
tenants for an additional 40% of the remaining space shortly after year end.
Management expects this increase in the occupancy of the center to provide
approximately $100,000 annually in additional revenue.  Management expects the
strip center to continue to be a principal activity of the Company and to
continue to provide a substantial portion of the Company's operating revenue.
As discussed in Item 2, management is currently planning for an addition to this
property.

Revenue from the bulk storage warehouse has remained constant from 1995.
Occupancy of the warehouse has been less than 10% annually for the last three
years.  Management is seeking additional tenants for the warehouse, however,
management is not aware of developments in the Athens area that may increase the
demand for warehouse space.  As discussed in Item 2, this property is currently
for sale by the Company.

Revenue from the commercial building operated as a restaurant is consistent with
the prior year due to a continuing lease agreement with the single tenant
occupying the building.  The revenue from

                                       6
<PAGE>
 
the lease on this property represented 7% and 17% of total gross leasing revenue
for the years ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  This property is
located on Washington Road in Augusta.  This road has a high traffic volume and
is the location of many other business establishments.  The Company believes the
property is in a favorable location and that the demand for building space in
this area will continue.  The property is currently for sale by the Company.

Payroll bonus expense decreased $45,000, or 100.0% from 1995.  During 1995 the
Company's Board of Directors approved a bonus to the President for his
contributions during the building of the retail strip center.

Depreciation expense increased $80,628, or 142.4% from 1995 due to 1996 being
the first full twelve month period of depreciation on the retail strip center.
Management expects depreciation for 1997 to be consistent with 1996.

Repairs and maintenance expense increased $3,697, or 44.6% from 1995 due to
costs related to a full year of operations of the strip center.  Management
expects repairs and maintenance expense for 1997 to be consistent with 1996.

Property tax expense increased $23,025, or 65.4% from 1995.  The 1996 property
tax expense represents the first tax assessment of the strip center.  Management
expects property tax expense for 1997 to be consistent with 1996.

Professional services expense decreased $17,965, or 55.0% from 1995 due to
certain costs related to completion of the strip center occurring in 1995.
Management expects professional services expense for 1997 to be consistent with
1996.

Interest expense increased $213,106, or 176.1% from 1995 due to 1996 being the
first full year of debt service on the strip center.  Management expects
interest expense for 1997 to be consistent with 1996.

Revenue from timber sales and land sales have declined from 1995.  These types
of sales are not recurring activities of the Company and are not expected to be
substantial or continuing sources of revenue for the Company.

The liquidity of the Company declined during 1996 as the Company utilized
current assets to fund operations.  The ratio of current assets to current
liabilities was .23 at September 30, 1996, and was .34 at September 30, 1995.
The Company satisfied current year liquidity needs through operating revenue and
a $24,000 short-term loan from a director of the Company.  The loan was repaid
this year.  Management of the Company expects future liquidity needs to be met
from operating revenues of the Company.  Management of the Company expects the
Company's future liquidity position to be enhanced by the additional lease
revenues to be generated from the 80% occupancy of the additional space at the
strip center.

The Company believes that the market value of much of the real estate owned by
the Company is greater than the original cost and that significant value has
been added to the real estate by the continued development and decreasing supply
of vacant land in the area.  These properties are available as a source of
capital to the Company.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                          SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 AND 1995

NOTE 1 - NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NATURE OF BUSINESS

Security Land and Development Corporation is engaged in the acquisition of
developed and undeveloped real estate to be held for investment purposes or to
be developed and leased as income producing property.  Acquired and leased
properties are within the State of Georgia, predominantly in Richmond, Columbia
and Clark counties.

Royal Palms Motel, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Security Land and
Development Corporation, is presently not engaged in business operations.  The
assets and liabilities of the subsidiary are not significant to the consolidated
statement presentation.

For the years ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, substantially all operating
revenues earned and operating expenses incurred were related to the activity of
real estate leasing.  For 1996 and 1995, approximately 90% of net leased assets
consisted of a retail strip center of which approximately 80% is leased to a
regional food supermarket.

During the years ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, leasing revenues were
received from predominantly two properties.  A commercial building operated as a
restaurant provided approximately 10% and 20% of gross leasing revenues for the
years, respectively.  The building is leased to a single tenant.  The retail
strip center provided approximately 90% and 70% of gross leasing revenue for the
years, respectively.  Substantially all of this revenue was from the lease with
the regional food supermarket.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of presentation - The consolidated financial statements include the
- ---------------------                                                    
accounts of Security Land and Development Corporation and its wholly-owned
subsidiary, Royal Palms Motel, Inc., (described on a consolidated basis as the
"Company").  Significant intercompany transactions and accounts are eliminated
in consolidation.

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 those estimates.

Revenue recognition - The Company recognizes rental and lease payments as
- -------------------                                                      
revenue in the lease period to which the payment relates.  Revenue from sales of
real estate is recognized when appropriate actions have been completed by
purchaser and seller to support revenue recognition.

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED

                          SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 AND 1995

NOTE 1 - NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED

Property, equipment and land - Property, equipment and land is stated at cost.
- ----------------------------                                                  

Depreciation of property and equipment is computed principally by the straight-
line method over the following estimated useful lives:

     Property leased to others        30 - 40 years
     Fixtures and furnishings          5 -  7 years

Maintenance and repairs of property and equipment are charged to operations and
major improvements which extend the useful life of the assets are capitalized.
Upon retirement, sale or other disposition of property and equipment, the cost
and accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts and the gain or
loss is included in income in the period of disposition.

Cash and cash equivalents - For purposes of reporting cash flows, the Company
- -------------------------                                                    
considers financial instruments of a demand nature to be cash equivalents.

Income taxes - The Company files a consolidated tax return.
- ------------                                               

Provisions for income taxes are based on amounts reported in the consolidated
statements of income and include deferred taxes on temporary differences in the
recognition of income and expense for tax and financial statement purposes.
Deferred taxes are computed on the liability method.

Earnings per share - Earnings per share are calculated on the basis of the
- ------------------                                                        
weighted average number of shares outstanding.  The Company has no stock option
plans.

New accounting pronouncement - During the current fiscal year the Company
- ----------------------------                                             
adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosures about
Fair Value of Financial Instruments".  The statement requires disclosure of fair
value information about financial instruments of the Company.  In cases where
quoted market prices are not available for certain financial instruments, fair
values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques.
Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used.

NOTE 2 - INVESTMENT IN LEASES AND PROPERTY UNDER OPERATING LEASES

NOTE 2 - INVESTMENT IN LEASES AND PROPERTY UNDER OPERATING LEASES (CONTINUED)

The Company's primary leasing activities are a retail strip center and a
commercial building operated as a restaurant.

Approximately 80% of the retail strip center is leased to a regional food
supermarket.  The lease requires minimum annual rental payments of $463,200,
expires in 2015 and is renewable for a total of an additional twenty years at
substantially the same lease terms.  The lease provides for the supermarket to
pay for interior maintenance and utilities and property taxes on a proportional
basis.

In construction of the retail strip center, the supermarket contributed
approximately $500,000 to the cost of the construction.  The Company has
recorded this contribution as a deferred revenue and is recognizing the revenue
using the straight-line method over the twenty-year life of the lease with the
supermarket.

The lease agreement also provides for the Company to receive each year 1.25% of
the individual supermarket's gross sales in excess of approximately $37 million.
For 1996 and 1995, the supermarket did not achieve this sales level.

The commercial building is leased to a single tenant that operates a restaurant
on the property.  The lease agreement requires minimum annual rental payments of
$44,400, expires December 1997, and requires the lessee to pay property taxes,
insurance and substantially all other costs associated with the property.

At September 30, 1996, future minimum lease payments under the operating lease
agreements for the retail strip center and the commercial building are as
follows (not including potential extensions):

During the year ended September 30, 1995, the Company recorded a valuation
allowance of $9,680 on the deferred tax assets. For the year ended September
30, 1996, the Company recorded a net adjustment to the valuation allowance of
$14,838, for a total valuation allowance of $24,518. The valuation allowance is
to reduce the recorded deferred tax assets to an amount that management believes
will ultimately be realized.  Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent
upon sufficient future taxable income during the period that deductible
temporary differences and carryforwards are expected to be available to reduce
taxable income.

Net operating loss carryforwards for tax purposes as of September 30, 1996 have
the following expiration dates:

NOTE 7 - FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Methods and assumptions of determining estimated fair value, and the estimated
fair values of the Company's financial instrument assets and liabilities are as
follows at September 30, 1996:

Cash and cash equivalents - Due to their demand nature, the estimated fair value
approximates the carrying amount.

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED

                          SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 AND 1995

NOTE 7 - FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)

  Short-term loans - These are loans from a related party that have no stated
  interest rate or stated maturity date. Due to the nature of these loans, a
  comparable type instrument does not exist and an estimated fair value cannot
  be determined.

  Long-term debt - The fair value of the long-term debt is estimated based on
  management's estimate of interest rates available to the Company for
  comparable debt having similar remaining maturities and collateral
  requirements. The estimated fair value at September 30, 1996 was approximately
  $4,030,000, compared to the carrying amount of $4,183,527.

ITEM 8.  CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND
         FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

The independent certified public accountants reporting on the September 30, 1995
year resigned as of May 15, 1996.  The accountants' report on the financial
statements for either of the past two years did not contain an adverse opinion
or disclaimer of opinion, nor were such reports modified as to uncertainty,
audit scope, or accounting principle.

The decision to change accountants was not recommended or approved by the Board
of Directors or an audit or similar committee of the Board of Directors.

As to the Company's two most recent fiscal years or any later interim period,
there were no disagreements with the accountants on any matter of accounting
principles or practices, financial statement disclosures, or auditing scope or
procedures, which, if not resolved to the accountants' satisfaction, would have
caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement(s) in
connection with the report.  The accountants did not advise the Company of any
of the following:

1.   That internal controls necessary to develop reliable financial statements
     did not exist;

2.   That information has come to the attention of the former accountants which
     made it unwilling to rely on management's representation, un unwilling to
     be associated with the financial statements prepared by management, or

3.   That the scope of the audit should be expanded significantly or information
     has come to the accountants' attention that it concluded will, or if
     further investigated might, materially impact the fairness or reliability
     of a previously issued audit report or the underlying financial statements,
     or the financial statements issued or to be issued covering the fiscal
     period(s) subsequent to the date of the most recent audited financial
     statements (including information that might preclude the issuance of an
     unqualified audit report), and the issue was not resolved to the
     accountants' satisfaction prior to its resignation or dismissal.

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and
regulations of the SEC thereunder require the Company's executive officers and
directors and persons who own more than 10% of the Company's Common Stock, as
well as certain affiliates of such persons, to file initial reports of ownership
and reports of changes in ownership with the SEC.  Executive officers, directors
and persons owning more than 10% of the Company's Common Stock are required by
SEC regulation to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms
they file.  Based solely on its review of the copies of such forms received by
it and written representations that no other reports were required for those
persons, the Company believes that during the fiscal year ended September 30,
1996 the Company's executive officers, directors and owners of more than 10% of
its Common Stock complied with all filing requirements.

EXHIBIT 16.

Item 4. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.

 (b) Item 304(a)(1) of Regulation S-B:

     304(a)(1)(i): The former accountant, Mauldin & Jenkins, resigned May 15,
     1996, as stated in a letter from Mauldin & Jenkins attached hereto as
     Exhibit "(7)(c)(1)" and made a part hereof.

     304(a)(1)(ii): Mauldin & Jenkins' report on the financial statements for
     either of the past two years did not contain any adverse opinion or
     disclaimer of opinion, nor were such reports modified as to uncertainty,
     audit scope, or accounting principles.

     304(a)(1)(iii): As of May 15, 1996, the resignation of Mauldin & Jenkins
     has not yet been accepted or approved by the Board of Directors or an audit
     or similar committee of the Board of Directors.

     304(a)(1)(iv): As to Security Land's two most recent fiscal years or any
     later interim period, there were no disagreements with Mauldin & Jenkins
     (the "Accountant") on any matter of accounting principles or practices,
     financial statement disclosures, or auditing scope or procedure, which, if
     not resolved to the Accountant's satisfaction, would have caused it to make
     reference to the subject matter of the disagreement(s) in connection with
     its report.  The Accountant did not advise Security Land of any of the
     following:

             (1) That internal controls necessary to develop reliable financial
             statements did not exist; or

             (2) That information has come to the attention of the former
             Accountant which made it unwilling to rely on management's
             representations, or unwilling to be associated with the financial
             statements prepared by management; or

             (3) That the scope of the audit should be expanded significantly,
             or information has come to the Accountant's attention that it
             concluded will, or if further investigated might, materially impact
             the fairness or reliability of a previously issued audit report or
             the underlying financial statements, or the financial statements
             issued or to be issued covering the fiscal period(s) subsequent to
             the date of the most recent audited financial statements (including
             information that might preclude the issuance of an unqualified
             audit report), and the issue was not resolved to the Accountant's
             satisfaction prior to its resignation or dismissal.

     304(a)(2): The Company has not yet engaged other accountants.

     Item 304(a)(3) of Regulation S-B:
 
             Letter from Mauldin & Jenkins attached hereto as Exhibit
             "(7)(c)(2)" and made a part hereof.
