- Revenue Growth: Total revenues increased by $1,643,701 (44%) for the six months ended June 30, 1999, compared to the prior year. Rental income rose by $994,138, driven by the acquisition of four properties in 1999 and four in 1998.

- Expense Increases: Depreciation and amortization increased by $167,538 due to new property acquisitions. Interest expense on mortgages increased due to financing on five newly acquired properties. General and administrative expenses rose by $146,587 due to increased professional fees and payroll.

Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
- Liquidity and Capital Resources: The Company holds $12,038,620 in cash and cash equivalents. It is currently negotiating a new credit facility to replace the matured $9 million line of credit, though no assurance of terms or availability is provided.
- Preferred Stock Put Option: Preferred stockholders have the right to "put" their shares to the Company at $16.50 per share between July 1, 1999, and September 28, 1999. Management intends to fund any redemptions from operations, mortgage financing, or cash on hand.
- Acquisition Strategy: The Company is in discussions regarding the acquisition of additional net leased properties, funded by operations, cash, and mortgage financing.
- Year 2000 Compliance: Management believes the Company is fully compliant with Year 2000 requirements and that supplier or lessee issues will not materially affect operations.
- Market Risk: The Company assesses that a one-percent change in interest rates would not have a material effect on net income regarding its variable-rate debt and receivables.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the status and terms of the new credit facility negotiations to replace the matured $9 million revolving line.
- Monitor the exercise of the Preferred Stock put option ($16.50/share) during the window of July 1 to September 28, 1999, and its impact on cash reserves.
- Confirm the sustainability of rental income growth following the one-time $792,764 escrow refund included in current period income.
- Review the pipeline for new property acquisitions and the associated leverage ratios given the increase in mortgages payable.
