Arizona Land Income Corporation Declares Special Dividend.

PHOENIX -- Arizona Land Income Corporation (AMEX: AZL) today declared a special dividend of $0.05 per share on its common stock. This dividend will be paid on January 15, 2008 to shareholders of record as of December 31, 2007.

In addition, AZL announced that it will pay state and federal corporate income tax on its net long-term capital gain income for 2007. AZL estimates that the amount of the corporate income tax payable will be approximately $.6 million relating to 2007 net capital gain income of approximately $1.3 million. Consistent with applicable requirements under state and federal law, each of AZL's shareholders of record as of December 31, 2007 will be allocated a pro rata portion of AZL's net capital gain, and would include the allocated amount in calculating 2007 taxable income. Each of AZL's shareholders of record as of December 31, 2007 will also be allocated a refundable federal income tax credit equal to a pro rata portion of the federal corporate income tax paid by AZL. Additional information regarding the amount of net capital gain and refundable income tax credit allocated to AZL shareholders is expected to be distributed no later than February 29, 2008.

Information Concerning Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Allocation

The Internal Revenue Code includes a provision for real estate investment trusts such as AZL that requires AZL to allocate its undistributed long-term capital gain income to its shareholders of record as of the last day of its fiscal year. AZL is required to provide such shareholders with a written notice of the allocation within 60 days of the close of its taxable year. The shareholders of AZL would include in their income as long-term capital gain the amount designated by AZL in such notice and will also receive a credit for the federal corporate income taxes paid by AZL relating to the allocated income. AZL must pay corporate tax on the undistributed long-term capital gain income by January 30, 2008.

AZL will report the amount of the allocated undistributed capital gain to its shareholders on Form 2439. Form 2439 - Notice To Shareholder of Undistributed Long-Term Capital Gains - is similar to a Form 1099 and reflects the amount of income the shareholders must report on their federal income tax returns, as well as the amount of tax paid by AZL with respect to such income. An individual's allocable share of the tax paid by AZL, as shown on the Form 2439, generally will exceed the amount of tax such individual will be required to pay with respect to its allocable share of AZL's undistributed long-term capital gain. Should the amount of tax paid by AZL as shown on the Form 2439 exceed the amount of tax a shareholder is required to pay with respect to its allocable share of the undistributed long-term capital gain, that shareholder may use such excess amount as a credit toward other federal tax obligations. If the shareholder has no other federal tax obligations, the shareholder may apply for a refund of such excess amount.

The undistributed long-term capital gain income also may be subject to state income tax.

Each shareholder of AZL should consult its own tax adviser concerning the tax consequences arising from AZL's payment of corporate income tax and the related allocations of capital gain income and refundable tax credit.
