PART I

Item 1. Business

(a) General Development of Business. The Registrant,
organized under the Iowa Business Corporation Act, is engaged
principally in the development of commercial real estate for
lease to tenants under net lease arrangements. The Registrant
also derives revenues from its portfolio of investment
securities.

On June 21, 1995, approximately 2 acres of real estate owned by the Registrant
in Ankeny, Iowa, was sold for $458,512, net of selling expenses and on June 30,
1995, a convenience store building located in Clive, Iowa, was acquired in a
qualified IRC Section 1031 Exchange for $730,814. The cash balance of $272,302
to complete the exchange was drawn on the Registrant's short-term line of
credit.

On November 9, 1995, approximately 1.5 acres of the Ankeny, Iowa, real estate
was sold for $321,920, net of selling expenses, and on December 28, 1995, land
and a restaurant building adjoining an existing company owned convenience store
in Herculaneum, Missouri was acquired in a qualified IRC section 1031 Exchange
for #386,600. The cash balance of $64,680 to complete the exchange was drawn
on the Registrant's short-term line of credit.

(b) Financial Information About Industry Segments. The
Registrant operates in a single industry segment.

(c) Narrative Description of Business.


Real Estate Held For Investment

The Registrant seeks to acquire or develop improved real estate
properties suitable for lease to commercial tenants. It is the
Registrant's policy to invest in properties which are fully leased to a
single tenant which is responsible for payment of real estate taxes,
insurance, utilities and repairs. Under such circumstances, the
Registrant has limited management responsibilities for such properties
once they are constructed and leased. In most cases properties are
constructed by the tenant and conveyed to the Registrant under a sale
and leaseback arrangement. It is not the policy of the Registrant to
invest in multiple tenant office buildings or residential facilities.
Primary factors considered by the Registrant in developing a property
for lease are the use to be made of the property, its location, the
nature and credit standing of the tenant, the rental income to be
derived under the lease, and the ability of the Registrant to utilize
the property or dispose of it upon termination of the lease.

All of the investment properties now owned by the Registrant are located
in Arizona, Georgia, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma, and
Texas. The Registrant has placed no limitations, however, on the
locations in which it is willing to develop properties in the future.

The commercial real estate acquired by the Registrant is normally
purchased with funds drawn on the Registrants lines of credit. In most
cases, the Registrant gives careful consideration to the rate of return
which it will receive from an investment based on the original cost
thereof to the Registrant without regard to possible mortgage financing.
While the rate of return varies, it has ranged generally from 10% to
13%.

Real estate investments acquired or developed by the Registrant are not
held for resale, but are held as long-term investments. The Registrant
may, however, dispose of properties depending upon the circumstances
then existing.

Virtually all of the Registrant's development activity is handled by its
President, including lease negotiations, site acquisitions, construction
activities, and financing.

The real estate investment activity engaged in by the Registrant is
highly competitive, with numerous investors seeking to develop
properties for lease to qualified tenants. These competitors include
numerous major national financial institutions with resources and
abilities to attract tenants which are far greater than those of the
Registrant; as well as many other types of full-time and part-time real
estate investors.

At December 31, 1995, the Registrant owned 38 leased properties having
an aggregate cost of $24,461,983. The rental income for 1995 on these
leased properties amounted to $3,094,050. Seven of the properties are
leased to two restaurant operators and account for 20.5% of rental
income; four telephone service center buildings and one Goodyear Tire
Service Center building account for 10.6% of rental income; sixteen
QuikTrip Convenience stores and one related office building account for
47.0% of rental income; three nurseries (garden centers) account for
15.3% and three 7-Eleven Convenience stores, one motel land lease and
three office buildings account for the balance of 6.6%. In addition to
the foregoing, other properties, held for future development, generated
rental income of $45,928 in 1995.

The tenants of all 38 leased properties are currently in compliance with
the terms of their respective leases. However, Sunbelt Nursery Group,
Inc., which operates approximately 98 retail nurseries (Garden Centers),
including three owned by the Registrant, has reported losses aggregating
approximately $13 million for the two years ended January 31, 1995, and
is expected to report a loss for the year ended January 31, 1996. The
three stores owned by the Registrant generate annual rental income of
approximately $455,000 of which $78,000 on one of the nursery properties
is guaranteed by a third party. During the past two years, Sunbelt has
taken significant steps to restore profitability. However, in the event
Sunbelt determines that a Chapter 11 Reorganization is necessary, the
Registrant may incur a substantial reduction in future lease rental
income.

Other Investments

The Registrant has a portion of its assets invested in marketable
securities which had a market value of $1,537,475 as of December 31,
1995.

Employees

The Registrant currently employs 6 persons; 4 full-time employees and
2 part-time employees.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At December 31, 1995, the Registrant's primary source of
liquidity was $123,831 in cash; marketable securities with a
market value of approximately $1,537,000; and a $4,895,000
remaining loan balance available on three lines of credit with
two local banks. (See Note 4 of the Notes to Financial
Statements). In addition, the Registrant owns unencumbered real
estate having an aggregate cost of approximately $11,000,000. Management
believes that its cash flow from operations and other potential
sources of cash, will be sufficient to finance current and
projected operations.

Each year for many years the Registrant has reacquired a limited
amount of its common stock. During the three years ended
December 31, 1995, 20,872 shares were repurchased in the open
market and negotiated transactions. The total cost of the
reacquired shares amounted to $433,986; an average per share
cost of $20.79.

Results of Operations 1995 Compared to 1994

As detailed on the Income Statement total income for the year 1995 was
approximately $100,000 more than in 1994. The increase in rental income
of approximately $124,000 was due to property acquisitions in 1994 and
1995 that produced additional rental income of approximately $154,000.
($377,000 in 1995 versus $223,000 in 1994). In addition, contingent
rentals based on sales overages increased approximately $10,000 in 1995.
These increases were offset by a reduction of approximately $43,000 in
rental income due to the sale of two properties; one in 1994 and one in
1995.

Total expenses increased approximately $89,000 in 1995 primarily due to
increased depreciation, interest and payroll costs aggregating
approximately $81,000.

The effective income tax rate was 36.4% in 1995 as compared to 35.7% in
1994.

Results of Operations 1994 Compared to 1993

Total revenues for 1994 amounted to $3,234,600 an increase of
approximately $352,000 over 1993. Lease rental income increased
$250,000 primarily due to the acquisition of two convenience
stores in Norcross, Georgia, in April 1994, which generated
$132,000 in rental income. In addition, a nursery (garden
center) property purchased in April 1993, and a convenience
store purchased in September 1993, provided additional rental
income of approximately $120,000 for the full year 1994 versus
partial year rentals received in 1993. The balance of the 1994
increase in revenue is due to an increase of approximately
$103,000 in gains on the sale of securities.

The increase in depreciation and interest expense aggregating
approximately $193,000 is directly related to property
acquisitions. In addition, the prime rate of interest on
borrowings increased in five intervals, from 6.0% to 8.5% during
1994. The decrease in other expenses of approximately $21,000
is primarily due to a reduction in professional fees and a
reduction in repair and maintenance costs of approximately
$8,000 and $10,000 respectively.

The effective income tax rate was 35.7% in both years.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES


Marketable Securities: Marketable securities as of December 31,
1995, are classified as available-for-sale and reported at fair
market value in accordance with the Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115. The Registrant's
investments are held for an indefinite period and prior to December 31,
1994, were reported at the lower of aggregate cost or market.

Property and Equipment: Property and equipment are recorded at
cost and depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated
useful lives of 15 to 39 years for buildings and 5 to 7 years
for equipment.

Net Earnings Per Common Share: Net earnings per share are based
on the weighted average number of shares outstanding 457,720 in
1995; 462,946 in 1994 and 470,712 in 1993.

Profit-Sharing Plan: The Registrant has a profit sharing plan adopted in 1965,
for eligible employees, under which it contributes a portion of its annual
earnings. The plan and all of its amendments have been approved by the
Internal Revenue Service. The Registrant's contribution to the plan was
$39,142 in 1995; $33,875 in 1994 and $34,491 in 1993.

Lease Rentals - Commercial Real Estate: Lease rentals received
on commercial real estate are accounted for under the operating
method; rentals are included in income as earned over the term
of the lease.

Estimates: The preparation of the 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 revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could vary from the estimates that were used.
