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 strip 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
     additional tenants. At September 30, 1997, approximately 11,700 square feet
     of this space was leased. 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.  Approximately 1.4
     acres of this property (which includes the building) was sold to the
     current tenant during the 1997 year. The remaining approximately .2 acres
     is adjacent to the retail strip center and was retained by the Company.
     See Item 6, "Results of Operations" for information regarding the sale of
     this property.

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 fully 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 72% and 88% of the Company's
total leasing revenue for the years ended September 30, 1997 and 1996,
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 that was sold during the current year provided
4% and 7% of the Company's total leasing revenue for the years ended September
30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

                                       1
<PAGE>
 
The bulk storage warehouse facility in Athens provided 1% and 2% of the
Company's total leasing revenue  for  the  years  ended  September  30,  1997
and 1996, 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 in fee simple interest:

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

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

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

6.   108 undeveloped acres in south Richmond County, Georgia.

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

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

9.   Approximately 1.0 acres of undeveloped land on Old Evans Road, near
     Washington Road in Augusta, Georgia.

                                       2

10.  One undeveloped lot in Dublin, Georgia.

Description of real state and operating data -

The net book value of the strip center amounts to approximately 80% of the
Company's total assets at September 30, 1997.  No other property owned by the
Company at September 30, 1997, had a book value amounting to ten percent or more
of the total assets of the Company.

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 center
was constructed with the intention of being operated as a strip center and is
suitable and adequate for such purpose.  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, 1997 and 1996, 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 1997 this reimbursement was approximately $29,950.  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 balance of the loan
was $4,081,761 at September 30, 1997.  The loan matures May 2015 and will be
fully amortized at that time.  The loan is secured by the center and the
assignment of lease payments from the property.  The property is located on
Washington Road in Augusta, Georgia.  This road is the location of numerous
business establishments, including competing strip centers.  The road also has a
high volume of traffic providing potential customers for the Company's tenants.
The Company's operation of the center is dependent upon management's ability to
maintain an anchor tenant and to maintain a high occupancy of the 13,000 square
feet leased to other tenants.  The Company competes with other strip centers in
the area to maintain stable occupancy.  Management of the Company believes that
the location and visibility of the center provides for favorable conditions for
maintaining occupancy. At September 30, 1997, the Company had leased 90% of the
13,000 square feet not leased to Publix. These individual leases have terms of
from three to five years with monthly lease payments ranging from $1,200 to
$2,800.  Following is certain information regarding the strip center at
September 30, 1997:

          Occupancy rate - 98%      (Publix is the only tenant to occupy 10% or
                                    more of the leasable square feet.)

</TABLE>

The percentage of gross annual rental represented by expiring leases as
presented above is based on the gross annual rental for the current year and was
calculated as if each lease was in effect for the full twelve month fiscal
period.

The Company currently does not have plans for significant renovations or
improvements to the center.

The Federal tax basis of the center, excluding land, is $4,832,561.  Accumulated
depreciation is $505,184.  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 1997 were $35,036.

The approximately 35 acres of undeveloped land adjacent to the strip center has
a Federal tax basis of $222,272.  There is no debt on the property.  The land is
accessed from Washington Road and Stanley Drive.  The Company currently has no
plans for development or improvement of this property and is currently marketing
this property for sale as professional and residential real estate. The property
is located in an area of continued development with a decreasing supply of
vacant land. The close proximity of the land to the strip center owned by the
Company may also enhance the competitive marketability of the property.  Total
property taxes on the property were $4,112 for 1997.

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 available
for lease.  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.  The warehouse is in poor condition and is in
need of substantial repairs. Approximately 75% of the 248,000 square feet is not
in a leaseable condition.  This facility is currently  for sale by the
Company.   An  organization unrelated to the Company currently has an

                                       4
<PAGE>
 
option outstanding to purchase this property.  Based on square feet, the
warehouse was approximately 5% leased at September 30, 1997.  The Company is
seeking additional tenants, however, the demand for bulk warehouse space in
Athens has not been sufficient to maintain tenants. The declining condition of
the warehouse and the weak demand for warehouse space may be a detriment to the
Company's ability to successfully market this property.  The  Company leases
warehouse space on a relatively short-term basis, generally 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 $533,201 is $233,537 at September
30, 1997.  The property is being depreciated by the straight-line method over an
average life of eighteen years.  Annual real estate taxes are $5,756. Due to the
low occupancy of the warehouse, presentation of average annual effective rental
rates would not provide meaningful information.

The approximately 1.0 acres of undeveloped land on Old Evans Road in Augusta,
Georgia has a Federal tax basis of $342,122.  There is no debt on the property.
The Company currently has no plans for development or improvement of this
property.  The property is held by the Company for investment and appreciation.
The property is located in an area of Augusta that has experienced both
commercial and residential growth for a number of years.  This land is also
located near Washington Road (though not near the strip center).  The continued
development in this area and the decreasing supply of vacant land may enhance
the appreciation and future marketability of the property.  Total property taxes
on the property were $7,852 for 1997.

The combined Federal tax basis of the remaining investment properties of the
Company is approximately $150,000.  There is no debt on any of these properties.
The properties are undeveloped real estate held by the Company for investment
and appreciation.  The Company currently has no plans for development or
improvement of these properties.

All of the properties owned by the Company, including properties for which the
Company is a less than 100% owner, are owned in fee simple interest.

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

The Company reported in the Form 10-KSB for the year ended September 30, 1996,
the possibility of a construction project near the retail strip center and lease
negotiations with Blockbuster Video. This transaction did not materialize and
the Company is no longer negotiating this lease.

ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

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

ITEM 4.  SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO SECURITY HOLDERS

No matters were submitted to a vote of the Company's security holders for the
quarter ended September 30, 1997.

ITEM 5.  MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

There is no public trading market for the Company's securities.  The approximate
number of holders of the Company's common stock is 750.

No dividends have been declared or paid during the two years ending September
30, 1997.  The Company has no restrictions that currently, or that may
reasonably be expected to limit materially the amount of dividends paid.

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

The Company's primary business activities are the acquisition, development and
leasing of developed and undeveloped real estate.  The objectives of the Company
are capital appreciation from real estate investments and income from leasing.

The retail strip center was completed in May 1995, with 1996 being the first
full twelve month period of operations.  The center consists of approximately
69,000 square feet.  Approximately 56,000 square feet is leased to Publix
Supermarkets, Inc. as the center's anchor store.  See Item 2, "Description of
Properties" for information regarding the lease agreement with Publix.  The
remaining approximately 13,000 square feet is available for lease to additional
tenants.  This additional space was 90% and 40% leased as of September 30, 1997
and 1996, respectively.  Also

see Item 2, "Description of Properties" for effective rental rates and lease
expirations related to this property.

Leasing revenue from the retail strip center increased $143,817 (26%) from 1996,
primarily as a result of the following:

  a.  increased occupancy of the 13,000 additional square feet.

  b.  approximately $60,000 of common area maintenance fees received from center
      tenants.  Fees received in 1996 were approximately $10,000.

Management expects the strip center to be a principal activity of the Company
and to continue to provide a substantial portion of the Company's operating
revenue.

Revenue from the bulk storage warehouse has declined from 1996 and 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.  This property is currently for sale by the Company.

Revenue from the commercial building operated as a restaurant declined from 1996
as this property was sold by the Company to the current tenants.  The Company
realized a gain of $231,694 from the sale.  The proceeds of the sale were used
to acquire 1.0 acres of undeveloped land near Augusta. Subsequent to September
30, 1997, the Company also used proceeds from the sale to acquire approximately
1.0 acres of undeveloped land adjacent to the retail strip center.  The Company
intends to hold these properties for investment and future development.

Revenue from the Company's other leasing properties has remained constant from
1996 and 1995.

Operating expenses increased $34,661 (11%) from 1996.  Significant line item
expense fluctuations from 1996 to 1997 are presented below.

Repairs and maintenance increased $12,179 from 1996 due to increased operations
at the strip center. Management expects repairs and maintenance expense for 1998
to be consistent with 1997.

Commission expense increased $13,661 from 1996 due to commissions paid to
professionals for locating additional tenants for the strip center.  Management
expects commission expense for 1998 to decrease from 1997 due to the high
occupancy of current properties.

Income tax expense increased $15,420 from 1996 due to the Company's increase in
income before income taxes.

Revenue from timber sales have declined from 1996.  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 improved in 1997 primarily as a result of increased
funds provided by the increased occupancy of the retail strip center. In
addition, as previously described, the Company sold at a gain this year the
commercial property owned on Washington Road. While a substantial portion of the
proceeds from this sale were invested in real estate, $50,000 was utilized to
retire the short-term loan previously obtained from a stockholder. The ratio of
current assets to current liabilities was .37 at September 30, 1997, and was .23
at September 30, 1996. Management of the Company expects future liquidity needs
of the Company to be met from operating revenues of the Company.

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.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
- ----------------------------------------------------

The Company may, from time to time, make written or oral forward-looking
statements, including statements contained in the Company's filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") and its reports to
stockholders.  Such forward-looking statements are made based on management's
belief as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to,
management pursuant to "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  The Company's actual results may differ
materially from the results anticipated in these forward-looking statements due
to a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, competition from other
real estate companies, the ability of the Company to obtain financing for
projects, and the continuing operations of tenants.

               REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS


To the Board of Directors
Security Land and Development
Corporation and Subsidiary
Augusta, Georgia

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Security Land
and Development Corporation and Subsidiary as of September 30, 1997 and 1996,
and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity and cash
flows for the years then ended.  These consolidated financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Security Land and
Development Corporation and Subsidiary as of September 30, 1997 and 1996, and
the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                          SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 AND 1996


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 Clarke 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, 1997 and 1996, substantially all operating
revenues and operating expenses were related to the activity of real estate
leasing.  All revenue and expenses associated with sales of investment property
are presented as nonoperating activities in the financial statements.  For 1997
and 1996, 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, 1997 and 1996, leasing revenues were
received from predominantly two properties.  A commercial building operated as a
restaurant provided approximately 5% and 10% of gross leasing revenues for the
years, respectively.  The building is leased to a single tenant, and was sold
prior to the current fiscal year end.  The retail strip center provided
approximately 90% of gross leasing revenue for each of the years.  During 1997,
approximately 80% of revenue from the strip center was from a lease with a
regional food supermarket.  During 1996, substantially all gross leasing revenue
from the strip center was from this lease.

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, 1997 AND 1996


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.

Advanced funds - Advanced funds consist of cash advanced to unrelated
- --------------                                                       
organizations in coordination of potential real estate acquisitions.  At
September 30, 1997, the Company had $250,000 of outstanding advances. Subsequent
to year end this transaction materialized and the Company purchased undeveloped
real estate for investment for the amount of the outstanding advances.

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

</TABLE>

The Company's primary leasing activities are a retail strip center and a
commercial building operated as a restaurant.  The commercial building was sold
by the Company prior to the current fiscal year end.

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.

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.  For the year ending
September 30, 1997, the Company utilized a substantial portion of the deferred
tax asset and recorded a reduction in the valuation allowance of $18,753.  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.

At September 30, 1997, the Company has approximately $30,000 of net operating
loss carryforwards for tax purposes available for use by the Company.  The
carryforwards expire in 2011.

NOTE 6 - 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, 1997 and 1996:

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

  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, 1997 was
  approximately $3.9 million, compared to the carrying amount of approximately
  $4.1 million.  The estimated fair value at September 30, 1996 was $4.0
  million, compared to the carrying amount of $4.1 million.

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,
1997 the Company's executive officers, directors and owners of more than 10% of
its Common Stock complied with all filing requirements.
