Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements:
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.
PART I
Item 1. Business.
Security Land and Development Corporation (the “Company”) was organized and incorporated in Georgia in 1970. The Company, including its wholly owned subsidiaries, the Royal Palms Motel, Inc., SLDC, LLC, SLDC2, LLC and SLDC III, LLC has developed two (2) primary business activities, these activities being (1) the acquisition of undeveloped land for investment purposes and sale at a future date or development of the land and sale after developed and, (2) the acquisition or development of income producing properties for investment purposes and income from leasing activities. The Company’s principal office is in Augusta, Georgia and principal activities are in Augusta, Georgia, Evans, Georgia, and North Augusta, South Carolina.
The Company’s primary development and income producing activities are:
- Retail
strip center on 15.24 acres on Washington Road in Augusta, Georgia (the “National Plaza”). Approximately 56,000 square feet is being leased to Publix
Supermarkets, Inc. (“Publix”) who operates a retail food supermarket. The
remaining approximately 13,000 square feet of rental space is available
for lease to additional tenants. At September 30, 2012, approximately 7,800 square feet of this remaining space was leased.
- An
outparcel of the National Plaza that is 0.89 acres and is leased
commercially under a 20-year ground-lease to an auto-repair service
operation.
- Long-term
ground lease ("Evans Ground Lease") on approximately 18 acres in
Evans, Georgia at the intersection of Washington Road and Industrial Park
Drive to Lowe's, a national home improvement retailer.
- Residential Property on Stanley Drive, in Augusta, Georgia, currently for lease as a single-family residence.
The Company owns certain other properties that are more fully described in Item 2, “Properties.”
- 2 -
In January of 2007 construction of the Evans Ground Lease was completed and the Company began collecting full monthly rent. The Evans Ground Lease represents approximately 43% of the Company’s net leased assets at September 30, 2012. Rent revenue, including monthly rent, recognition of previously deferred revenue and property taxes from the Evans Ground Lease represented 47% and 48% of the Company’s total gross rent revenue for the years ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The Company also expects the long-term ground lease in Evans, Georgia to provide a substantial portion of the Company’s revenue from leasing in future years.
Construction of the National Plaza was completed in May 1995 and the lease with Publix became effective May 15, 1995. The National Plaza represents approximately 54% of the Company’s net leased assets at September 30, 2012. Rent revenue, including monthly rent, recognition of previously deferred revenue, property taxes and common area maintenance from the lease with Publix Supermarkets, Inc. represented 37% and 41% of the Company’s total gross rent revenue for the years ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Management of the Company expects this lease to continue to provide a substantial portion of the Company’s revenue from leasing. See Item 2, “Properties” for additional information related to these properties and the lease agreements.
The Company owns additional undeveloped land in and around the Augusta, Georgia and North Augusta, South Carolina area that is being held for investment purposes. Management of the Company believes that the market value of the property owned is greater than its carrying value. The Company presently has four employees, all of whom are officers and/or stockholders of the Company.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
The Company, as a smaller reporting company, is not required to provide the information required by this item.
Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments.
None.
Item 2. Properties.
The Company owns developed and undeveloped real estate in several locations in the State of Georgia and one undeveloped parcel in North Augusta, South Carolina. There are no limitations on the percentage of assets which may be invested in any one property or type of property. The Company acquires various properties for investment purposes and for leasing activities.
The Company currently owns the following properties in fee simple interest:
-
Retail strip center on approximately 15.24 acres on Washington Road in Augusta, Georgia (the “National Plaza”).

Description of real estate and operating data:
The Company holds approximately 12.77 acres of land in Evans, Georgia on Belair Road and North Belair Road Extension, at Washington Road. The land was purchased in five transactions. Initially, the Company acquired a two-thirds interest in 7.09 acres of land, with the remaining one-third interest held by two individuals, one of which is a principal stockholder and member of the Board of Directors. In 2000, the remaining one-third interest in the 7.09 acres of land was acquired from two individuals that each owned a one-sixth interest. One of the individuals that owned a one-sixth interest in the property is a principal stockholder and member of the Board of Directors of the Company. The aggregate purchase price of the land was $522,846. A third transaction, in 2000, was a purchase of approximately 3.86 acres in Evans, Georgia adjacent to the purchased property previously described. The land was jointly owned by principal stockholders and members of the Board of Directors of the Company and their families, and was acquired by the Company from these individuals. The purchase price of the land was $371,970. In a fourth transaction, the Company purchased an additional 1.03 acres for $342,122 on Old Evans Road in Evans, Georgia that adjoins the above described properties. And in the fifth and final transaction in 2004, the Company acquired a corner parcel of 0.79 acres adjoining the previously described three parcels from a member of the Board of Directors. The cost of the parcel acquired in 2004, was $467,874. The Company's net book value of the investment properties acquired in these five transactions of $1,704,812, including the cost of improvements thereon, is approximately 17% of the Company’s total assets at September 30, 2012. The Company has a Federal tax basis in the investment property of $1,061,920. The Company signed a long-term ground lease for the development of a Lowe’s home improvement store on this property as well as the 4.61 acres, discussed below, during 2006. The Company began earning revenue related to the long-term ground lease on the approximately 18 acres in Columbia County, Georgia during the 3rd Quarter of 2006. The Company received $20,833 in monthly rent until the January 2007 expiration of the development period. 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 lease 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. A note payable to an insurance company is collateralized with the property and an assignment of the long-term ground lease. The note is payable in monthly installments of $19,137 including interest, through May 1, 2027, and bears interest of a fixed rate of 5.85%. The balance of the loan was $2,257,635 at September 30, 2012. Property taxes paid on this property and the 4.61 acres described above in 2012 totaled $129,899.
In 2001, the Company purchased an office building with land totaling approximately 4.61 acres located on Old Evans Road in Evans, Georgia. The property was purchased with replacement property funds held by a third party from a tax-deferred like-kind exchange transaction during 2000 of $511,726 and with approximately $250,000 of proceeds from a note payable. The office building was demolished during 2006. The Company's net book value in this property is $693,167 at September 30, 2012. For tax purposes, the Company recognized a loss of $236,859 on the demolition of the building in 2006. The Company's Federal tax basis in the property is approximately $175,261 at September 30, 2012. There is no outstanding debt on this property at September 30, 2012. Prior to the demolition, the property, excluding land cost, was being depreciated for financial reporting purposes using the straight-line method over 39 years. The property adjoins the 12.77 acres of land in Evans, Georgia. In July 2009, the Company sold an easement consisting of approximately .52 acres of the total Evans Ground Lease tract for $300,000. The Company recognized a gain of approximately $195,000. The proceeds were used by the Company to pay down debt related to an outstanding note payable collateralized by the Evans Ground Lease and related land and to compensate the Evans Ground Lease tenant per the related lease agreement. The Company’s management does not feel that the easement sale had any adverse impact on the existing lease or the Company’s ability to lease the land going forward.
The Company's net book value of National Plaza, $3,039,182 at September 30, 2012, amounts to approximately 31% of the Company’s total assets at September 30, 2012.

Construction of the National Plaza was completed in May 1995. National Plaza has 69,000 square feet of available lease space. National Plaza was constructed with the intention of being operated as a retail strip center and is considered suitable and adequate for such purpose. The Company has leased 56,000 square feet to Publix, which, as National Plaza’s anchor tenant, operates a retail food supermarket. The Company, as lessor, has a twenty-year lease agreement with Publix. The lease became effective May 15, 1995. The lease provides for annual rentals of $463,200, and for the Company to receive 1.25% of this Publix store’s annual gross sales in excess of approximately $37 million. For the Company’s years ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, the supermarket had not achieved this sales level. The lease also provides for Publix to reimburse the Company for property taxes paid on the facility on a pro rata basis of the space occupied by Publix. For 2012, the amount billed was $53,222. At the lessee’s option the lease may be extended in five-year increments for an additional twenty years on substantially the same lease terms. As part of the lease agreement, Publix contributed approximately $493,000 to the construction of National Plaza. The Company capitalized this contribution and is recognizing the related revenue over the twenty-year life of the lease.
The Company financed National Plaza with a $4,300,000 loan, with interest that is fixed at 7.875%. Annual principal and interest payments total $427,596. The balance of the loan was $1,054,186 at September 30, 2012. The loan matures in June 2015 and is scheduled to be fully amortized at that time. The loan is secured with a mortgage interest in National Plaza and an assignment of lease payments (rent) from the property. The property is located on Washington Road in Augusta, Georgia. Washington Road in Augusta is the location of numerous business establishments, including competing retail strip centers, and is a corridor for a high volume of traffic, providing potential customers for the Company’s tenants. The Company’s operation of National Plaza is dependent upon management’s ability to maintain an anchor tenant and to maintain a high occupancy of the 13,000 square feet available for lease to other tenants. The Company competes with other retail strip centers in the area to maintain stable occupancy. Management of the Company believes that the location and visibility of National Plaza provides for favorable conditions for maintaining occupancy. At September 30, 2012, the Company had leased 60% of the 13,000 square feet not leased to Publix. These individual leases have terms ranging from three to five years, with monthly lease payments including Common Area Maintenance (“CAM”) ranging from $1,100 to $2,500. Following is selected statistical information regarding National Plaza at September 30, 2012:

The percentage of gross annual rents represented by expiring leases as presented above is based on the gross annual rental for the current year and was calculated as if each lease was in effect for the full twelve-month fiscal period. The Company is currently considering plans to make some renovations and improvements to National Plaza in the foreseeable future, however the timing has not been determined. Any renovations approved by the Company’s management and the Board of Directors will be contingent on obtaining financing at the time approved.
The Company's Federal tax basis in National Plaza at September 30, 2012, excluding land and before accumulated depreciation is $4,339,522. Federal tax basis accumulated depreciation is $2,415,881. Property taxes on the National Plaza totaled $84,321 in 2012.

The property was purchased for $145,847. The property is located adjacent to several properties held by the Company. The location of this property may enhance the appreciation and future marketability of the property. The Company’s Federal tax basis in the property was $118,568. Property taxes paid on this property in 2012 totaled $2,675.

At September 30, 2012 there is no outstanding debt on this additional 1 acre. During 2008, the Company purchased an additional 1 acre of undeveloped land for $350,000 held for future development adjoining the 14.57 acres. During 2008, the Company purchased an additional 2.81 acres of undeveloped land for $421,500 held for future development adjoining the 14.57 acres. At September 30, 2012 the Company owes $63,052 on this additional 2.81 acres. The undeveloped land held for future development on Edgefield Road near I-20 in North Augusta, South Carolina totals 19.38 acres.

All of the properties owned by the Company are owned in fee simple interest.
In the opinion of management of the Company, all of the properties owned by the Company are adequately covered by insurance.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The Company’s primary business activities are the acquisition, development and leasing of developed and undeveloped real estate. The objectives of the Company are capital appreciation from real estate investments and income from leasing.
The Company believes that the market value of much of the real estate owned by the Company is greater than its original cost. The Company believes that the continued development and decreasing supply of vacant land in the Augusta, Georgia area has resulted in substantial appreciation in value in many of the Company’s investment properties. These appreciated investment properties are available as a source of capital to the Company.
Critical Accounting Policies:
Estimates of Useful Lives of Investment Properties for Purposes of Depreciation
Company management has estimated the useful lives of investment properties, except for land, that are leased, and Company management 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
Company management 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, Company management 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
Company management 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. Company management has estimated deferred income tax liabilities of $771,847 at September 30, 2012. 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.

Years Ended September 30, 2012 and 2011
National Plaza consists of approximately 69,000 square feet. Approximately 56,000 square feet is leased to Publix as the investment property’s anchor tenant. See Item 2, “Properties” for additional information regarding the lease agreement with Publix. The remaining approximately 13,000 square feet is available for lease to additional tenants. This additional space was approximately 60% and 40% leased as of September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Attempts are being made to lease vacant space. Also see Item 2, “Properties” for effective rental rates and lease expirations related to this property. Rent revenue from Publix and National Plaza increased slightly as compared with the prior years' amounts due to leasing an additional 2,600 square feet to a restaurant in December of 2011. In May 2006 the Company entered into a long-term ground lease with Lowes, a national home improvement retailer, with a portion of total monthly rent due during the construction period, which was completed in January 2007. Rent revenues for the Evans Ground Lease in 2013 remained relatively consistent with 2012. See Item 2, “Properties” for additional information regarding the Evans Ground Lease. Management expects both of the above two lease arrangements to continue to provide a substantial portion of the Company’s revenues.
Operating expenses increased by $20,509, 3% from 2011. Operating costs of the Company consists mainly of the costs of managing National Plaza and property taxes related to the Company’s land holding portfolio. Operating costs for 2012 include approximately $44,000 of accrued costs for professional fees and other expenses related to a claim. Company management expects operating expenses for 2013 to be relatively consistent with 2012.
Interest expense decreased by $23,860 (-8%) from 2011. The Company’s interest costs relate to outstanding debt on the Company’s land holdings as discussed above in Item 2, “Properties”. Continued amortization of outstanding debt balances resulted in decreased interest expense in 2012. Company management expects interest expense for the year ending September 30, 2013 to decline from interest expense for the current fiscal year as the outstanding debt continues to amortize.
Liquidity and Sources of Capital:
The percentage of current assets to current liabilities was 36% at September 30, 2012, and was 39% at September 30, 2011. 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 in fiscal year 2012 totaling $538,079. 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 was due to be repaid in December 2012. In November of 2012 the Company secured refinancing of this line of credit through conversion to a term note collateralized by residential rental properties. The new loan matures in December of 2017.
As of September 30, 2012 the Company’s cash flows from operations is approximately $510,000 while current maturities of debt are approximately $538,000. If the Company experiences cash flow shortages and is unable to generate adequate cash flows from operations to fund current debt maturities and other obligations, the Company’s management intends to seek additional financing from other sources but there can be no assurance that this will occur. These sources of include selling certain of its fully owned and un-collateralized assets or borrowing money from certain shareholders.
In the first quarter of fiscal year 2013, the Company borrowed $30,000 from a member of the Company’s Board of Directors to meet short term cash flow needs. This amount was repaid with interest at 6% in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013.
Capital Expenditure Commitments:
The Company currently has no significant commitments for capital expenditures for the next twelve months.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Security Land and Development Corporation (“the Company”) as of September 30, 2012 and 2011, and the related consolidated statements of income and retained earnings and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2012 and 2011 and the related consolidated statements of income and retained earnings and cash flows for the years then ended, present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Security Land and Development Corporation at September 30, 2012 and 2011, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

SECURITY LAND AND DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACTIVITIES
Business activities
Security Land and Development Corporation (“the Company”) is engaged in the acquisition of developed and undeveloped real estate to be held for investment purposes or to be developed and leased as income producing property. Substantially all investment properties held and leased by the Company are located within the State of Georgia, in Richmond and Columbia counties and in North Augusta, South Carolina.
Royal Palms Motel, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Security Land and Development Corporation, is a holding company for a parcel of land in Richmond County, Georgia. During 2004, the Company organized, as its sole member, SLDC, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company. During 2007, the Company organized, as its sole member, SLDC2, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company. During 2008, the Company organized, as its sole member, SLDC III, LLC, a South Carolina limited liability company. SLDC, LLC, SLDC2, LLC, and SLDC III, LLC were organized by the Company to hold title to certain real estate that the Company plans to develop.
During 2012 and 2011, substantially all operating revenues and operating expenses were related to real estate leasing. A substantial portion of rent revenues were earned from two investment properties, a commercial retail center, consisting of approximately 69,000 square feet on Washington Road in Augusta, Georgia (“National Plaza”) and the Evans Ground Lease on Washington Road in Evans, Georgia (“Evans Ground Lease”). National Plaza provided approximately 49% and 48% of gross rent revenue in 2012 and 2011, respectively. Approximately 81% of National Plaza was leased to a regional food supermarket, with annual rents from the lease totaling $463,200. National Plaza comprises approximately 54% of the asset Investment Properties for Lease, net of Accumulated Depreciation. The Evans Ground Lease provided approximately 47% and 48% of gross rental revenue in 2012 and 2011, respectively. This property, leased to a national home improvement retailer, earned rents totaling approximately $538,000 in both 2012 and 2011. The Evans Ground Lease comprises approximately 43% of investment properties held for lease, net, by the Company at September 30, 2012.
Basis of presentation
The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Security Land and Development Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Royal Palms Motel, Inc., SLDC, LLC, SLDC2, LLC, and SLDC III, LLC (described on a consolidated basis as the “Company”). All intercompany transactions and accounts are eliminated in consolidation.
Use of estimates
The consolidated 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.
Revenue recognition
Rent revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the related lease agreements. The Company is reimbursed by tenants for property taxes and other maintenance fees. These reimbursements billed totaled $258,716 and $255,791, which is included in rent revenue, for the years ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
(Continued)
- 15 -
NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACTIVITIES, Continued
Revenue recognition, continued
Gains, or losses, realized from sales of real estate are recognized substantially when title to the property has passed and the risks and benefits of ownership have been transferred to the buyer.
Investment properties
Investment properties are stated at cost. Depreciation of the investment properties is computed principally using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:
|
Buildings for lease |
|
30 - 40 years |
|
Land improvements on property for lease |
|
15 years |
|
Fixtures and furnishings |
|
5 – 7 years |
Major renewals or improvements on investment properties are capitalized, while maintenance and repairs that do not improve or extend the useful lives of the assets are charged to expense when incurred. Upon retirement, sale or other disposition of investment properties, the cost and accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts and the gain or loss is included in income in the period of disposition.
The Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset 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 is less than the carrying amount. The Company measures the impairment loss as the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the asset. At September 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company believes that none of its long-lived assets are impaired.
Receivables from tenants
Receivables from tenants consist of rents, property taxes and other maintenance fees payable under the terms of lease agreements. Receivables are carried at original invoice amount. Management estimates an allowance for doubtful accounts by regularly evaluating individual tenant receivables and considering the collectability of balances due based on each tenant’s financial condition, credit history, and current economic conditions. Receivables are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of receivables previously written off are recognized in income when received. The Company has an allowance for uncollectible accounts of $5,322 and $4,184 at September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Lease commissions
Lease commissions are capitalized and amortized over the term of the related leases, using the straight-line method. Lease commissions, net of accumulated amortization, of $33,063 and $28,878 at September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, are included in Other Assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Loan Fees
Loan fees are capitalized and amortized over the term of the loan using the straight-line method. Loan fees, net of accumulated amortization, were $50,739 and $54,218 at September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Loan fees are included in Other Assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Income taxes
The Company files a consolidated income tax return. Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the consolidated financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes related primarily to differences between the financial reporting basis and income tax basis of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities represent future tax consequences of those differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled. Deferred taxes are adjusted for changes in tax laws and tax rates when those changes are enacted.
(Continued)
- 16 -
NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACTIVITIES, Continued
Income taxes, continued
The Company has adopted the provisions under ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”) which requires that a position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not (i.e., a likelihood of more than fifty percent) that the position would be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. A recognized tax position is then measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon settlement. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense in its financial statements. Management is not aware of any uncertain tax positions as of September 30, 2012 and 2011. The Company believes it is no longer subject to income tax examination for the fiscal years prior to 2009.
Net income per common share
Net income per common share is calculated on the basis of the weighted average number of shares outstanding. The Company has no stock option plans, or other instruments resulting in earnings per share dilution. For 2012 and 2011 the weighted average number of shares outstanding was 5,243,107. Therefore, only basic net income per common share is presented.
Recently issued accounting standards
ASU 2011-04 was issued in May 2011 to amend the Fair Value Measurement topic of the ASC by clarifying the application of existing fair value measurement and disclosure requirements and by changing particular principles or requirements for measuring fair value or for disclosing information about fair value measurements. The amendments were effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2012 and had no effect on the financial statements.
The Comprehensive Income topic of the ASC was amended in June 2011. The amendment eliminates the option to present other comprehensive income as a part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity and requires consecutive presentation of the statement of net income and other comprehensive income. The amendments were applicable to the Company on January 1, 2012 and have been applied retrospectively. In December 2011, the topic was further amended to defer the effective date of presenting reclassification adjustments from other comprehensive income to net income on the face of the financial statements. Companies should continue to report reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income consistent with the presentation requirements in effect prior to the amendments while FASB redeliberates future requirements. The amendments had no effect on the financial statements or financial statement presentation of the Company.
Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
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. In 2012 and 2011, approximately 100% of the Company’s revenues were rental related revenue. In 2012 and 2011, approximately 49% and 48%, respectively of the Company’s rental revenues were earned from National Plaza. Approximately 81% of National Plaza is leased to one tenant, a regional food supermarket. Approximately 47% and 48% of the Company’s rental revenues in 2012 and 2011, respectively, were earned from the Evans Ground Lease, which is 100% leased to a major national home improvement retailer.
The majority of the Company’s receivables from tenants at September 30, 2012 and 2011 were receivable from two tenants, the regional food supermarket that leases property at National Plaza, and the major national home improvement retailer under the Evans Ground Lease.
The Company places its cash with high quality financial institutions. At times the Company’s cash balances may be in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limits.

Subsequent events
Subsequent events are events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued. Recognized subsequent events are events or transactions that provide additional evidence about conditions that existed at the date of the balance sheet, including the estimates inherent in the process of preparing financial statements. Unrecognized subsequent events are events that provide evidence about conditions that did not exist at the date of the balance sheet but arose after that date.
In November of 2012 the Company converted the $300,000 line of credit to a term loan with a maturity date of December 2017. The loan calls for monthly installments of $3,287 and accrues annual interest at 5.5%.
Management has reviewed events occurring through the date the financial statements were issued and no other subsequent events occurred that require accrual or disclosure.

Depreciation expense totaled $124,697 and $124,176 in 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Approximately 81% of National Plaza is leased to a regional food supermarket. The lease requires minimum annual rental payments of $463,200, expires in 2015 and is renewable for a total of an additional twenty years at substantially similar lease terms. The lease provides for the supermarket to pay for interior maintenance and utilities and property taxes on a proportional basis.
The lease agreement also provides for the Company to receive each year 1.25% of the individual supermarket’s gross sales in excess of approximately $37 million. For 2012 and 2011, the supermarket did not achieve this gross sales level.
In construction of National Plaza, the supermarket contributed approximately $493,000 to the cost of the construction. The Company recorded the $493,000 as deferred revenue and is recognizing $24,652 as revenue annually using the straight-line method over the twenty-year life of the lease with the supermarket.
(Continued)

NOTE 2 - INVESTMENT PROPERTIES, Continued
In 2003, the Company entered into a 20-year ground lease arrangement on an outparcel of National Plaza. The ground lease provides for minimum rent of $45,000 annually, for the first 10 years of the lease. The minimum rent increases by approximately 10% after year 10 and then again after year 15 of the ground lease. Other lease agreements at National Plaza range in terms from one to five years.
The Company entered into a long-term ground lease with a major national home improvement retailer tenant and its developer in May 2006 on the 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 of 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 lease 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.
Future minimum rents receivable under the operating lease agreements are as follows for the years ending September 30:

The Company also owns approximately 85 acres of land in south Richmond County and a 1.1 acre parcel along Washington Road in Augusta, Georgia, that adjoins the Company’s National Plaza investment property. The aggregate cost of these investment properties held for investment or development was $3,639,598 at September 30, 2012 and 2011.

|
|
2012 |
|
2011 |
||
|
A note payable to the seller of 2.81 acres of land in North Augusta, South Carolina, collateralized by the land. The note is payable in monthly installments of $7,182 through June 2013, and bears interest of a fixed rate of 6%. |
$ |
63,052 |
|
$ |
142,838 |
|
A line of credit with a regional financial institution for up to $251,934 procured in March 2008 with a floating interest rate based on prime and originally payable in full in April 2009. In April 2009 the Company refinanced the $243,019 line of credit with a regional financial institution.

The Company has a total outstanding income tax payable in the amount of $291,659. Of this amount, $202,950 is related to the current year and the remaining portion of $88,709 is related to the 2011 tax expense. The Company paid $5,000 of the amount due in November 2012 and $5,000 in December 2012.
NOTE 5 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company purchases insurance from an insurance company of which a member of the Company’s Board of Directors is President. The Company’s Board of Directors believes that the insurance prices obtained from such company were not in excess of prices that would have been paid had the Company obtained this insurance from other sources.
The Company has hired an attorney who is a member of the Company’s Board of Directors. This attorney was hired to represent the company in defending a claim brought by a tenant in relation to some disputed lease related charges. Receivables from tenants at September 30, 2012 include approximately $34,000 of rents including reimbursements for property taxes and other maintenance fees that are part of this dispute. The Company has accrued approximately $100,000 for professional fees and other expenses to defend its position. The Company’s Management and their attorney believe that this claim is without merit.
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2013, the Company borrowed $30,000 from a member of the Company’s Board of Directors, who is also a member of the Flanagin family, to meet cash flow needs. The amount was repaid during the quarter along with interest at a rate of 6%.
During the year, the Company paid $5,250 to a shareholder who is also the son of the President for accounting services. The Company believes the amount paid is not in excess of prices that would have been paid had the Company obtained these services from other sources.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our disclosure controls and procedures are our controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. Disclosure controls and procedures include without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in 17 C.F.R. Sections 240.13a-15d--15(e)) as of September 30, 2012, and based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer concluded that such controls and procedures were ineffective as of September 30, 2011 as explained by the material weakness described in internal control over financial reports.
There were no significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in the Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f). A system of internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
The Company’s management has evaluated the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2012. Based on this evaluation, the Company’s management has evaluated and concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was ineffective as of September 30, 2012 as explained by the material weakness described in internal control over financial reporting:
-
Due to its relatively small size and the nature of its operations, having only two key employees, whom are also married to each other, actively involved in management and financial reporting of the Company there is a lack of necessary segregation of duties and accounting personnel with the requisite knowledge of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and the financial reporting requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). There are insufficient written policies and procedures to insure the correct application of accounting and financial reporting with respect to the current requirements of GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements.
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.
The Company will continue its assessment on an ongoing basis and when it becomes practicable, will make efforts to add personnel and resources to address the material weakness. There has been no change in its 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.
- 23-
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm was not required nor engaged to issue an attestation on its internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
