Basis of Presentation --------------------- The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles for annual financial statements. In the opinion of the general partner, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The balance sheet at December 31, 1995 has been derived from the audited financial statements included in the Partnership's 10-K. For further information, refer to the financial statements of Capital Preferred Yield Fund, A California Limited Partnership (the "Partnership"), and the related notes, included in the Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995, previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. 2. Equipment Purchases ------------------- During the nine months ended September 30, 1996, the Partnership purchased from Capital Associates International, Inc. ("CAII"), the Class B limited partner and an affiliate of the general partner, the equipment under lease listed below. The Partnership purchased the equipment at cost to CAII. The Partnership reached its front-end fee cap, as defined in the Partnership Agreement, during a prior fiscal year. Accordingly, CAII did not receive any acquisition fees on equipment sold to the Partnership during the nine months ended September 30, 1996.

Equipment Held for Sale or Re-lease ----------------------------------- Equipment held for sale or re-lease, recorded at the lower of cost or market value expected to be realized, consists of equipment previously leased to end users which has been returned to the Partnership following lease expiration. 4. Bankrupt Lessee --------------- Anchor Glass filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the bankruptcy code on September 13, 1996. The aggregate net book value under four leases with this lessee was $260,991 at September 30, 1996. Potential outcomes are (i) the lessee affirms its leases and the Partnership collects all rents due under the leases or (ii) the lessee rejects the leases and returns the underlying equipment to the Partnership. If the leases are rejected and the equipment is returned to the Partnership or sold to a third party, it is possible that remarketing proceeds will be less than the net book value of the equipment. However, if the lessee affirms the leases, the Partnership would not be subject to a loss. The lessee has not made its intentions known at this time and, accordingly, the amount of loss, if any, cannot be determined as of September 30, 1996. Regardless of the lessee's decision to accept or reject the leases, the general partner believes that the ultimate outcome will not have a material adverse impact on the Partnership's financial position or results of operations. 7 CAPITAL PREFERRED YIELD FUND A California Limited Partnership Item 2.

As the liquidation period continues, purchases of equipment under lease will cease (other than for prior commitments and equipment upgrades), initial leases will expire and the amount of equipment being remarketed (i.e., re-leased, renewed, or sold) will increase. Because a leasing portfolio declines in size as it matures, these circumstances have resulted in a decline in the Partnership's leasing portfolio (referred to in further discussions as "portfolio run-off"). 8 CAPITAL PREFERRED YIELD FUND A California Limited Partnership Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Results of Operations, continued - --------------------- LEASING MARGIN Leasing margin consists of the following: Three months ended Nine months ended September 30, September 30, --------------------------------- --------------------------------- 1996 1995 1996 1995 ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ Operating lease rentals $ 2,229,013 $ 3,084,438 $ 7,114,968 $ 10,355,221 Direct financing lease income 335,366 380,296 891,456 1,274,718 Depreciation and amortization (1,457,668) (2,311,822) (4,937,904) (7,782,786) Interest expense on related financed operating lease rentals (18,685) - (75,640) - Interest expense on related discounted lease rentals (114,142) (256,475) (414,491) (929,246) ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ Leasing margin $ 973,884 $ 896,437 $ 2,578,389 $ 2,917,907 ============ ============ ============ ============ Leasing margin ratio 38% 26% 32% 25% ============ ============ ============ ============ The components of leasing margin have declined and are expected to decline further due to portfolio run-off. Leasing margin ratio increased primarily because a portion of the Partnership's portfolio consists of operating leases financed with non-recourse debt (including both discounted lease rentals and financed operating lease rentals). Leasing margin and the related leasing margin ratio for an operating lease financed with non-recourse debt increases during the term of the lease since rents and depreciation are typically fixed while interest expense declines as the related non-recourse debt is repaid. The ultimate rate of return on leases depends, in part, on the general level of interest rates at the time the leases are originated. Because leasing is an alternative to financing equipment purchases with debt, lease rates tend to rise and fall with interest rates (although lease rate movements generally lag interest rate changes in the capital markets). Interest rates declined from 1990 until the early part of 1994. The lease rates on equipment purchased by the Partnership during this period reflect this low interest rate environment. This will result in corresponding reductions in the ultimate overall yields to the partners. Annual average 5-year U.S. Treasury yields for the past six years were as follows: 9 CAPITAL PREFERRED YIELD FUND A California Limited Partnership Item 2.

During the liquidation period, as initial leases terminate, the equipment is being remarketed (i.e., re-leased or sold to either the original lessee or a third party) and, accordingly, the timing and amount of equipment sales cannot be projected accurately. INTEREST INCOME Interest income increased due to an increase in cash available for investment as well as an increase in interest rates. 10 CAPITAL PREFERRED YIELD FUND A California Limited Partnership Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Results of Operations, continued - --------------------- PROVISION FOR LOSSES The remarketing of equipment for an amount greater than its book value is reported as equipment sales margin (if the equipment is sold) or leasing margin (if the equipment is re-leased). The realization of less than the carrying value of equipment (which is typically not known until remarketing subsequent to the initial lease termination has occurred) is recorded as provision for losses. Residual values are established equal to the estimated value to be received from the equipment following termination of the lease. In estimating such values, the Partnership considers all relevant facts regarding the equipment and the lessee, including, for example, the likelihood that the lessee will re-lease the equipment. The nature of the Partnership's leasing activities is that it has credit exposure and residual value exposure and, accordingly, in the ordinary course of business, it will incur losses from those exposures. The Partnership performs ongoing quarterly assessments of its assets to identify other-than-temporary losses. The provision for losses recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 was primarily related to the following: * Certain equipment was returned to the Partnership. The Partnership had previously expected to realize the carrying value of this equipment through lease renewals and proceeds from the sale of this equipment to the original lessees. The fair market value of the equipment re-leased or sold to a third party is less than anticipated as described below: - $320,000 related to bankrupt lessees. - $150,000 related to a lessee returning an aircraft, with a carrying value of $1,250,000, to the Partnership. - $130,000 related to a lessee experiencing severe financial difficulties. The lessee has notified the Partnership that it will be returning the equipment currently under lease. - $95,000 related to lessees returning modular buildings, computer equipment, a telephone system and hospital equipment to the Partnership. * $110,000 related to the sale of equipment having a lower fair market value than originally anticipated. The provision for losses recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 1995 was primarily related to a lessee returning medical equipment to the Partnership. The Partnership had previously expected to realize the carrying value of this equipment through lease renewals and proceeds from sale of the equipment to the original lessee. The fair market value of the equipment re-leased or sold to a third party was considerably less than anticipated. 11 CAPITAL PREFERRED YIELD FUND A California Limited Partnership Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Results of Operations, continued - --------------------- EXPENSES Management fees paid to the general partner decreased primarily as a result of portfolio run-off. General and administrative expenses increased primarily due to (i) $104,027 reimbursed to the general partner during the second quarter of 1996 for insurance costs related to prior years and (ii) increased storage costs for warehoused inventory. Liquidity and Capital Resources - ------------------------------- The Partnership funds its operating activities principally with cash from rents, non-recourse debt, interest income and sales of off-lease equipment. Available cash and cash reserves of the Partnership are invested in interest bearing cash accounts and short-term U.S. Government securities pending additional equipment acquisitions and distributions to the partners. During the nine months ended September 30, 1996, the Partnership purchased equipment under lease for a total equipment purchase price of $1,219,311. All such equipment was purchased from Capital Associates International, Inc. ("CAII"), the Class B limited partner and an affiliate of the general partner. The Partnership entered its liquidation period (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) in April 1996. During the liquidation period, purchases of equipment under lease will cease (other than for prior commitments or for equipment upgrades). At September 30, 1996, the Partnership had commitments to purchase $400,000 of additional equipment that satisfied the Partnership's acquisition criteria. The Partnership expects to acquire this equipment during the remainder of 1996. During the nine months ended September 30, 1996, the Partnership declared distributions to the partners of $8,388,199 ($1,520,501 of which was paid during October 1996). A substantial portion of such distributions constituted a return of capital. Distributions may be characterized for tax, accounting and economic purposes as a return of capital, a return on capital or both. The portion of each cash distribution by the Partnership which exceeds its net income for the fiscal period may be deemed a return of capital. However, the total return on capital over the Partnership's life can only be determined at the termination of the Partnership after all residual cash flows (which include proceeds from the re-leasing and sale of equipment after the initial lease terms expire) have been realized at the termination of the Partnership. The general partner believes that the Partnership will generate sufficient cash flow from operations during the remainder of 1996 to (1) meet current operating requirements and (2) fund cash distributions to the Class A limited partners in accordance with the Partnership Agreement. Distributions during the liquidation period will be based upon cash availability and will vary and all distributions are expected to be a return of capital for economic purposes. 12 CAPITAL PREFERRED YIELD FUND A California Limited Partnership PART II. OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. Legal Proceedings The Partnership is involved in routine legal proceedings incidental to the conduct of its business. The general partner believes none of these legal proceedings will have a material adverse effect on the financial condition or operations of the Partnership. Item 6.
