Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Results Of Operations --------------------- Nine Months Ended September 30, 1996, Compared With Nine Months Ended September 30, 1996. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Company's rental income for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 increased approximately 4.9% over the comparable period in 1995. Operating expenses for the period increased 1.9%. The net loss improved over the previous year's comparable period by $16,500, due primarily to general and administrative expenses being reduced by $9,000 and rental revenue being increased by approximately $10,000. The net loss per share was $.34 as compared to $.40 in the previous year. During this period, the Company's operations included only one property; however, beginning in late October 1996, and thereafter, the Company's operations will include the five properties acquired with the proceeds from the Company's initial public offering. Financial Condition, Liquidity And Capital Resources ---------------------------------------------------- The consolidated financial condition of the Company evidenced the following changes from December 31, 1995, to September 30, 1996. Current assets decreased approximately $22,000, primarily due to timing of prepaid expenses. Deferred offering costs increased by $231,000; this increase was attributable to the cost of completing the Company's initial public offering, noted below, on November 5, 1996. Changes in real estate, property and equipment of $30,000 is due to depreciation for the nine month period. Current liabilities increased by approximately $148,000, primarily due to increase in accounts payable of $90,000 and note payable of $55,000. Long-term debt decreased by $14,000. On November 5, 1996 the Company closed on its initial public offering. The net proceeds from the offering were $4,931,587. Approximately $3,800,000 was used to acquire the five properties identified in the Company's registration statement on Form SB-2. The remaining funds will be used for working capital and are available for additional acquisitions. With the completion of the public offering and the acquisition of the five properties, the contingency regarding the Redeemable Common Stock no longer exists, and Redeemable Common Stock will be reclassified to Stockholders' Equity. 14 Part II.
