distributed to shareholders. It has been Registrant's policy
to distribute annually all of its ordinary taxable income.
Consequently, no provision has been made for federal income tax.

MANAGEMENT ANALYSIS
All of Registrant's railroad properties are on long-term lease to
Norfolk and Western Railway Company for the fixed, unvarying amount of
$915,000 cash rental per year. The lease also requires that additional, large
amounts be recorded as non-cash rent income.
With fixed revenue and expenses relatively constant, there is very
little fluctuation in operating results between periods. In comparing the
third quarter of 2003 with the preceding second quarter 2003 and the third
quarter of 2002, revenues totaled $229,000, $229,000 and $229,000,
respectively. Net income and income available for distribution was $202,000,
$187,000 and $208,000, respectively.
