(See accompanying notes to financial statements) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the Partnership's financial position as of September 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995 and the results of its operations, its cash flows and changes in partners' capital (deficit) for the interim periods ended September 30, 1996 and 1995. These adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. See notes to financial statements included in the Partnership's 1995 Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information relating to the Partnership's financial statements. NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS - ---------------------------------- Copley Realty Income Partners 3; A Limited Partnership (the "Partnership") is a Massachusetts limited partnership organized for the purpose of investing primarily in newly-constructed and existing income- producing real properties. It commenced operations in October 1988 and acquired the three real estate investments it currently owns prior to the end of 1989. It intends to dispose of its investments within nine years of their acquisition, and then liquidate. NOTE 2 - PROPERTY - ----------------- Effective January 1, 1996, the South Bay/CRIP 3 Associates joint venture was restructured and the venture partner's ownership interest was assigned to the Partnership and to an affiliate of the Partnership. Accordingly, as of that date, the investment has been accounted for as a wholly-owned property. The carrying value of the joint venture investment at conversion ($4,180,704) was allocated to land, building and improvements, and other operating assets and liabilities. The following is a summary of the Partnership's investment in property: September 30, 1996 December 31, 1995 ------------------ ----------------- Land $ 4,691,144 $ 2,991,854 Building and improvements 8,281,263 5,978,755 Accumulated depreciation (1,667,727) (1,402,497) Deferred costs, net 466,868 402,230 Other net assets (liabilities) 116,606 (60,213) ------------ ------------ Net carrying value $ 11,888,154 $ 7,910,129 ============ ============= The net carrying value at September 30, 1996 was comprised of Brea West and South Bay at $7,647,749 and $4,240,405, respectively. NOTE 3 - REAL ESTATE JOINT VENTURES - ----------------------------------- The following summarized financial information is presented in the aggregate for the joint ventures: Assets and Liabilities ----------------------- September 30, 1996 December 31, 1995 ------------------- ----------------- Assets Real property, at cost less accumulated depreciation of $1,603,775 and $1,829,810 $ 8,104,091 $ 14,326,926 Other 551,716 1,037,209 ------------- ------------- 8,655,807 15,364,135 Liabilities 104,435 99,956 ------------- ------------- Net assets $ 8,551,372 $ 15,264,179 ============= ============= Results of Operations ---------------------- Nine Months Ended September 30, 1996 1995 --------- ---------- Revenue Rental income $ 893,428 $ 1,230,994 Other 1,917 1,994 ------------ ------------ 895,345 1,232,988 ------------ ------------ Expenses Operating expenses 140,868 208,799 Depreciation and amortization 345,246 426,887 ------------ ------------ 486,114 635,686 ------------ ------------ Net income $ 409,231 $ 597,302 ============ ============ Liabilities and expenses exclude amounts owed and attributable to the Partnership and (with respect to one joint venture) its affiliate on behalf of their various financing arrangements with the joint ventures. Effective January 1, 1996, the South Bay/CRIP 3 joint venture was restructured, and the property became wholly-owned by the Partnership. Accordingly, the 1996 amounts relate only to the Shasta Way joint venture. NOTE 4 - SUBSEQUENT EVENT - ------------------------- Distributions of cash from operations relating to the quarter ended September 30, 1996 were made on October 24, 1996 in the amount of $418,803 ($15.00 per limited partnership unit). Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition - ----------------------------------------------------------- and Results of Operations - ------------------------- Liquidity and Capital Resources The Partnership completed its offering of units of limited partnership interest in June 1989 and a total of 27,641 units were sold. The Partnership received proceeds of $24,458,317, net of selling commissions and other offering costs, which have been used for investment in real estate and to pay related acquisition costs, or are being retained as working capital reserves. At September 30, 1996, the Partnership had $2,265,320 in cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments, of which $418,803 was used for cash distributions to partners on October 24, 1996; the remainder is being retained for working capital reserves. The source of future liquidity and cash distributions to partners will be cash generated by the Partnership's real estate and short-term investments. Distributions of cash from operations relating to the first three quarters of 1996 were made at the annualized rate of 6.0% on a capital contribution of $1,000 per unit. The annualized distribution rate for the first quarter of 1995 was 5.0%. The increase in the distribution rate to 6.0% in the second quarter of 1995 was the result of increased cash flow from the lease-up of the South Bay property in May 1995. The carrying value of real estate investments in the financial statements at September 30, 1996 is at depreciated cost, or if the investment's carrying value is determined not to be recoverable through expected undiscounted future cash flows, the carrying value is reduced to estimated fair market value. The fair market value of such investments is further reduced by the estimated costs of sale for properties held for sale. Carrying value may be greater or less than current appraised value. At September 30, 1996, the aggregate appraised value of the Partnership's investments was approximately $1,600,000 greater than their aggregate carrying value. The current appraised value of real estate investments has been estimated by the managing general partner and is generally based on a combination of traditional appraisal approaches performed by the Partnership's advisor, Copley Real Estate Advisors, Inc., and independent appraisers. Because of the subjectivity inherent in the valuation process, the current appraised value may differ significantly from that which could be realized if the real estate were actually offered for sale in the marketplace. Results of Operations Form of Real Estate Investments The Brea West investment is a wholly-owned property. The South Bay investment was structured as a joint venture with a real estate management/development firm. Effective January 1, 1996, however, the venture was restructured and the venture partner's ownership interest was assigned to the Partnership and to an affiliate of the Partnership. Accordingly, as of that date, this investment has been accounted for as a wholly-owned property. The Shasta Way investment had been structured as a joint venture with a real estate management/development firm and an affiliate of the Partnership. As of January 1, 1996, the Shasta Way joint venture was restructured, and the management/development firm's interest was assigned to the Partnership and its affiliate in proportion to their respective ownership interests. The Partnership's ownership percentage increased to 58%. Operating Factors The South Bay property is 100% leased to a single tenant. The lease term began in May, 1994 for 83% of the building for the first year and 100% of the building thereafter through September, 2001. During 1994, the managing general partner determined that the Partnership will likely not recover the carrying value of this investment over the projected holding period. Accordingly, the carrying value was reduced to estimated net realizable value, with a charge to operations of $2,400,000. The Brea West and the Shasta Way properties are also 100% leased to single tenants under long-term leases. Investment Results Interest earned on cash equivalents and short-term investments for the first three quarters of 1996 decreased by approximately $12,000, or 13%, as compared to the same period in 1995 primarily due to lower short- term yields as well as lower invested balances. Total real estate operations increased by approximately $64,000, or 8%, for the first nine months of 1996 as compared to the comparable period of 1995. This aggregate increase is comprised of improvements of $27,000 at Brea West, $26,000 at South Bay, and $11,000 at Shasta Way. Net income increased by approximately $50,000 between the first nine months of 1995 and 1996, while cash provided by operations increased by approximately $131,000. The increase in cash flow is larger primarily due to the timing of cash distributions from the Shasta Way and South Bay investments. Portfolio Expenses General and administrative expenses primarily consist of real estate appraisal, legal, printing, accounting and servicing agent fees. These expenses decreased approximately $5,000 or 6% between the first nine months of 1995 and 1996 due to lower legal and other professional fees. The Partnership management fee is 9% of distributable cash flow from operations after any increase or decrease in working capital reserves as determined by the managing general partner. Management fees increased between the two nine-month periods due to the increase in distributable cash flow.
