Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Note  1 — Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; therefore, they do not include all disclosures necessary for a complete presentation of financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.  Such statements are unaudited but, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature and necessary for a fair presentation of results for the selected interim periods.  Users of financial information produced for interim periods are encouraged to refer to the footnotes contained in the audited financial statements appearing in our Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2010 when reviewing interim financial statements.

The financial statements include estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the 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.  The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Security Land and Development Corporation and its four wholly owned subsidiaries, Royal Palms Motel, Inc., SLDC, LLC, SLDC 2, LLC and SLDC III, LLC (described on a consolidated basis as the “Company”).  Significant intercompany transactions and accounts are eliminated in consolidation.

Critical Accounting Policies:

Estimates of Useful Lives of Investment Properties for Purposes of Depreciation

Management has estimated useful lives of investment properties, except for land, that are leased, and the Company utilizes the straight-line method to compute depreciation over the estimated useful lives of the investment properties.  Actual depreciation of investment properties will vary from management’s estimates, and the value of investment properties is more directly impacted by market conditions and the physical condition of the investment properties.

Evaluation of Long-Lived Assets for Impairment

The Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of investment properties may not be recoverable.  In evaluating recoverability, the Company generally estimates future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition.  An impairment loss is recognized when the expected future cash flows of the asset are less than the carrying amount.

Estimates of Income Tax Rates Applicable to Deferred Taxes

The Company has deferred income taxes through a series of tax-deferred like-kind exchange transactions on certain investment properties and through accelerated depreciation elections on certain other assets.  Actual income taxes that may become due when taxable gains are realized on the sale of assets may differ from management’s estimates as a result of changes in tax laws, the tax status of the Company, or the actual taxable earnings of the Company in the periods the deferred income taxes become due.

Refer to the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2010 for further information regarding its critical accounting policies.

Note  2 — Investment Properties

Investment properties leased or held for lease to others under operating leases consisted of the following at December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2010:

Depreciation expense totaled $31,044 for both the three-month periods ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.

The National Plaza is a retail strip center located on Washington Road in Augusta, Georgia.  Approximately 81% of the rentable space at the National Plaza is leased to Publix Supermarkets, Inc., the National Plaza’s anchor tenant.

The Company entered into a long-term ground lease with a major national tenant and its developer in May 2006 on approximately 18 acres of land in Columbia County, Georgia.  The agreement required monthly rental payments of $20,833 during the development period, which was completed in January 2007.  Following the expiration of the development period, the lease requires annual rental payments of $500,000 for the first 5 years then increasing 5% in years 6, 11, and 16.  The lessee has an option to renew at year 21 and another option every 5 years thereafter for a possible total lease term of 50 years.  The lease provides for the tenant to pay for insurance and property taxes. The Company is recognizing rents on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Company holds several parcels of land for investment or development purposes, including 19.38 acres of land in North Augusta, South Carolina, purchased in parcels during 2007 and 2008.  The Company also owns approximately 85 acres of land in south Richmond County, Georgia and a 1.1 acre parcel along Washington Road in Augusta, Georgia that adjoins the Company’s National Plaza investment property.  The aggregate costs of these investment properties held for investment or development was $3,641,098 at December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2010.

Refer to the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2010, for further information on operating lease agreements and land held for investment or development purposes.

Note  3 — Notes Payable and Line of Credit

Notes payable and line of credit consisted of the following at:

Management of the Company expects future liquidity needs of the Company to be funded from rent revenues, refinancing and the appreciation in investment properties (which can be sold or mortgaged, if necessary).

Current maturities of notes payable will require the Company to make payments over the next 12 months totaling $478,224, plus the line of credit of $300,000.  The Company projects that it will be able to fund the payment of its current maturities of notes payable through cash flows generated from its operations and cash on hand, but there can be no assurance that this will occur.

The Company expects to extend the maturity date of the $300,000 line of credit through refinancing upon its maturity in December, 2011.  Although the company expects to secure this refinancing prior to the maturity of the line of credit, there can be no assurances that such refinancing will be secured or that such refinancing will be on terms acceptable to the Company.

If the Company is unsuccessful in either of their efforts described above, the Company intends to seek additional financing or sell certain of its assets.

Note  4 — Concentrations

Substantially all of the Company’s assets consist of real estate located in Richmond and Columbia Counties in the state of Georgia and in North Augusta, South Carolina.  Approximately 99% of the Company’s revenues are earned from two of the Company’s investment properties, National Plaza and the Evans Ground Lease, which comprise approximately 52% and 47% of the Company’s revenues, respectively.  The anchor tenant for National Plaza, Publix Supermarkets, Inc. (“Publix”), a regional food supermarket chain, leases approximately 81% of the space at National Plaza.  The Company generates approximately 41% of its revenues though its lease with Publix.

Note  5 — Application of SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108

The Company has applied SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 (SAB No. 108), Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements.  SAB No. 108 states that registrants must quantify the impact of correcting all misstatements, including both the carryover (iron curtain method) and reversing (rollover method) effects of prior-year misstatements on the current-year financial statements, and by evaluating the error measured under each method in light of quantitative and qualitative factors.  Under SAB No. 108, prior-year misstatements which, if corrected in the current year would be material to the current year, must be corrected by adjusting prior year financial statements, even though such correction previously was and continues to be immaterial to the prior-year financial statements.  Correcting prior-year financial statements for such “immaterial errors” does not require previously filed reports to be amended.  Such corrections will be made the next time the Company files the prior-year financial statements.

In applying the requirements of SAB No. 108, the Company adjusted its deferred income tax expense accrual, which had been understated by $288,834 as of September 30, 2006.  Such understatement resulted from the use of an incorrect deferred tax rate in this period and each of the subsequent three years.  The financial statements for the quarter ended December 31, 2009 have been retroactively restated to correct this error.  This adjustment decreased retained earnings as of September 30, 2008 by $301,457.  Retained earnings at December 31, 2009 was decreased by $306,510.  Income tax expense increased by $3,895 and net income decreased by $3,895 for the quarter ended December 31, 2009.

Item  2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Results of Operations:

The Company’s results of operations for the three months ended December 31, 2010, and a comparative analysis of the same period for 2009 are presented below:

Table of Contents

Rent revenue consists primarily of rent revenue from the Company’s National Plaza, a strip center on Washington Road in Augusta, Georgia, and the Evans Ground Lease in Evans, Georgia.  The Company also earned rent revenue from a ground lease with an auto-repair service operation on an out parcel of National Plaza.  Rent revenue decreased slightly for the three months ended December 31, 2010 primarily due to two small shop tenants at National Plaza vacating during the first quarter of 2010 or thereafter and one small shop tenant at National Plaza receiving rent relief after the first quarter of 2010.

Refer to the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2010 for further information regarding the properties owned and their lease terms.

Total operating expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2010 increased compared with the same period for 2009.  This increase was due largely to increased professional fees related to the annual audit and quarterly review, increased payroll costs due to director compensation for audit committee members which were not paid as of the first quarter of 2010, and increased maintenance costs due to additional landscaping work incurred in the current quarter that is not part of the annual landscaping contract. Management expects operating expenses for the remainder of the current fiscal year to be comparable to the current operating period.

Interest expense for the three month period ended December 31, 2010 decreased compared to 2009 due to the decrease in debt due to scheduled principle payments. Management expects interest expense for the remainder of the current fiscal year to continue to decrease slightly as outstanding debt is amortized.

Income tax expense for the three month period ended December 31, 2010 decreased due to a decrease in income.  The Company’s deferred income tax expense accrual had been understated by $288,834 as of September 30, 2006 due to the use of an incorrect tax rate in the prior period and each of the subsequent three years.

Liquidity and Sources of Capital:

The Company’s ratio of current assets to current liabilities at December 31, 2010 was 19%.  The ratio was 40% at September 30, 2010.

Management of the Company expects future liquidity needs of the Company to be funded from rent revenues, refinancing and the appreciation in investment properties (which can be sold or mortgaged, if necessary).

Current maturities of notes payable will require the Company to make payments over the next 12 months totaling $478,224.  The Company projects that it will be able to fund the payment of its current maturities of notes payable through cash flows generated from its operations and cash on hand, but there can be no assurance that this will occur.

In addition the Company’s line of credit of $300,000 at December 31, 2010 is due to be repaid in December 2011.  The Company expects to extend the maturity date of the line of credit through refinancing upon its maturity in 2011.  Although the Company expects to secure this refinancing prior to the maturity of the line of credit, there can be no assurances that such refinancing will be secured or that such refinancing will be on the terms acceptable to the Company.

If the Company is unsuccessful in either of their efforts described above, the Company intends to seek additional financing or sell certain of its assets.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements:

The results of operations for the three-month period ended December 31, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year.  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.

Item  3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risks

Not applicable to smaller reporting companies

Item  4. Controls and Procedures

(a)                   Within the 90 days prior to the filing date of this report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934.  Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective.

(b)                  There were no significant changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date the Chief Executive Officer carried out the evaluation.

As of September 30, 2010, the Company’s management evaluated the effectiveness of its internal control.  Based on the evaluation, the Company’s management concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was ineffective as of September 30, 2010 and identified a material weakness related to the lack of segregation of duties, accounting personnel with the requisite knowledge of GAAP and the lack of written policies and procedures over financial reporting.

Notwithstanding the existence of this material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, our management believes that the consolidated financial statements included in its reports fairly present in all material respects the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

There has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company’s most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
