NATIONAL PROPERTIES CORPORATION NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The balance sheets, statements of income and comprehensive income, and statements of cash flows at June 30, 2002 and 2001 and the periods then ended are not audited but reflect all adjustments which are of a normal recurring nature and are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair statement of the results of the periods shown. The Company has adopted, effective January 1, 1998, the Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," which establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general purpose financial statements. The effect of FAS No. 130 on the Company's interim financial statements is to present in the statement of income, unrealized gains and losses on marketable securities net of income taxes. Certain prior amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Mortgage Note Receivable In July 2000, the Company sold real estate for $500,000 receiving $150,000 cash and a promissory note for $350,000. The note provides for interest at 10% and is secured by the real estate. Payments under the note are to be received as follows: $150,000 on June 30, 2001; $100,000 on June 30, 2002; and $100,000 on June 30, 2003. The mortgagor is making monthly payments of $4,918 which includes interest at 10.0%, in addition to the principal payments provided under the note. The note was paid in full in June, 2002. Long Term Debt The Company has a revolving credit agreement dated February 8, 2001 with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. The new credit facility permits the Company to borrow up to $15,000,000 through April 30, 2004. At June 30, 2002, $11,800,000 was outstanding under the agreement which was used to fund property acquisitions. The revolving period of the agreement provides for annual extensions each April 30th at the mutual agreement of the bank and the Company. It is the Company's intention to request an extension of the revolving period, as provided by the agreement. Advances under the credit facility bear interest at 0.75% below the bank's base rate. At June 30, 2002, the outstanding balance accrued interest at 4.00%. In addition, the agreement requires the Company to pay an annual commitment fee of 1/8 of 1% (payable quarterly) on the unused portion of the line of credit commitment. The credit agreement contains various covenants, including limitations on additional borrowings and maintaining a minimum free cash flow, as defined in the agreement, of $1,800,000 per year measured as of the end of each fiscal quarter on an annualized basis. The line of credit is secured by first mortgages on ten properties. Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS General The Company, an Iowa corporation, is engaged principally in the development of commercial real estate for lease to qualified tenants. In May 2002, the Company completed the purchase of a property in College Station, Texas at a cost of $3,500,000. The property is leased to Academy LTD. (a Texas limited partnership), a full-line sporting goods retailer, on a net lease basis for a term of twenty years that commenced May 15, 2002. The lease provides for annual rents of $327,250 during the first ten years and $359,975 during the last ten years of the lease term. Funds required for the purchase were drawn on the Company's bank credit line. At the Company's annual meeting of Stockholders held May 17, 2002, the Company declared a $0.16 per share dividend to be paid July 31, 2002 to stockholders of record on June 28, 2002. The dividend amounts to $65,988. Operating Results Lease revenues in the first half of 2002 were $2,650,000 compared to $2,365,000 for the same period in 2001, an increase of $285,000 or 12%. The increase in lease revenues relative to the first six months of 2001, was attributable to: (1) The acquisition of two convenience store properties and a sporting goods property in 2001, and a sporting goods property in May, 2002, which added $307,000 to lease revenue, (2) a decrease in lease revenue of $23,000 resulting from the sale of the GTech property in December 2001, (3) a decrease of $21,000 in contingent rents based on sales overages, and (4) other scheduled rent increases of $22,000. A decrease in interest income on the Company's mortgage note receivable was the primary reason for the decline in investment income over the same period in 2001. In addition the Company realized capital gains of $34,000 from the sale of securities in 2002 compared to $66,000 in 2001. Operating expenses totaled $1,031,000 in the first half of 2002 compared to $1,002,000 for the same period in 2001, an increase of $29,000. Depreciation expense increased $77,000 in the first half of 2002 over the same period in 2001 as a result of the property acquisitions in 2002 and 2001, referred to above. Interest expense for the first six months of 2002 totaled $204,000 compared to $277,000 for the same period in 2001, a decrease of $73,000. During the first half of 2002, the Company borrowed $3,425,000 on its credit line and repaid $1,875,000, resulting in an increase of $1,550,000 in debt at June 30, 2002. The average outstanding debt in the first six month of 2002 was $10,186,000 compared to $7,229,000 for the same period in 2001. Offsetting the higher average debt was lower interest rates paid by the Company as rates fell from 9% at the beginning of 2001 to 4% at December 31, 2001. The average rate paid by the Company in 2002 was 4% compared to 7.7% for the first six months of 2001. Other general and administrative expenses increased $25,000 in 2002 over 2001 due primarily to increase in real estate taxes, employee benefits, repairs and insurance expenses. Net income increased 14% in the first half of 2002 from the same period in 2001, after deducting income taxes at the effective rate of 37%. Liquidity As of June 30, 2002, the Company's main sources of liquidity consisted of $140,000 cash, marketable securities having a market value of approximately $1,222,000 and $3,200,000 remaining loan balance available on its revolving credit line with a local bank. In addition, the Company owns unencumbered real estate having an aggregate book value of approximately $19,000,000. Management believes that its cash flow from operations and these other potential sources of cash will be sufficient to finance current and projected operations. PART II. OTHER INFORMATION.
