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, 1997 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, 1997, previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. RECENTLY ISSUED FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS In June 1997 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income ("Statement 130"), which requires comprehensive income to be displayed prominently within the financial statements. Comprehensive income is defined as all recognized changes in equity during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. Net income and items that previously have been recorded directly in equity are included in comprehensive income. Statement 130 affects only the reporting and disclosure of comprehensive income but does not affect recognition or measurement of income. Statement 130 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997, with earlier application permitted. The Partnership adopted Statement 130 in the first quarter of 1998. The adoption did not have an impact on its financial reporting. 2. Transactions With the General Partner and Affiliate --------------------------------------------------- DIRECT SERVICES FROM GENERAL PARTNER: The general partner and an affiliate provide accounting, investor relations, billing, collecting, asset management, and other administrative services to the Partnership. The Partnership reimburses the general partner for these services performed on its behalf as permitted under the terms of the Partnership Agreement. The Partnership recorded $58,639 of direct services from the general partner for the six months ended June 30, 1998. Of that amount $26,688 is included in payables to affiliates. 6 CAPITAL PREFERRED YIELD FUND A California Limited Partnership NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) 2. Transactions With the General Partner and Affiliate, continued --------------------------------------------------- MANAGEMENT FEES PAID TO GENERAL PARTNER: In accordance with the Partnership Agreement, the general partner earns a management fee in connection with its management of the equipment, calculated as a percentage of the monthly gross rentals received, and paid monthly in arrears. The Partnership recorded a management fee of $18,514 for the six months ended June 30, 1998. GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES: The general partner and an affiliate are reimbursed for the actual cost of administrative expenses paid on behalf of the Partnership per the terms of the Partnership Agreement. At June 30, 1998, $23,063 of reimbursable expenses are included in payables to affiliates. RECEIVABLE FROM RELATED PARTY: The general partner collects and applies rental payments to lessees' accounts with the Partnership for those lessees who remit directly to the general partner. The rental payments are then transferred to the Partnership, eliminating the receivable from related party balance. At the end of June 1998, $59,858 in rents were applied by the general partner that were transferred to the Partnership in July 1998. 7 CAPITAL PREFERRED YIELD FUND A California Limited Partnership Item 2.

As a result, both the size of the Partnership's leasing portfolio and the amount of leasing revenue are declining. The Partnership recorded a net loss for the 1998 quarter and the 1998 period primarily due to the provision for loss (discussed below) taken on equipment returned to the Partnership. LEASING MARGIN Leasing margin consists of the following: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended June 30, June 30, ----------------------------- ----------------------------- 1998 1997 1998 1997 ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- Operating lease rentals $ 50,755 $ 1,606,275 $ 160,928 $ 3,168,487 Direct financing lease income 9,594 264,957 104,308 514,379 Depreciation (22,467) (936,231) (128,783) (1,944,767) Interest expense on related financed operating lease rentals (14,398) (13,505) (27,037) (26,662) Interest expense on related discounted lease rentals - (55,031) (28) (125,223) ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- Leasing margin $ 23,484 $ 866,465 $ 109,388 $ 1,586,214 =========== =========== =========== =========== Leasing margin ratio 39% 46% 41% 43% =========== =========== =========== =========== 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, continued The components of leasing margin have declined and are expected to decline further due to portfolio run- off. The ultimate rate of return on leases depends, in part, on interest rates at the time the leases are originated, as well as future equipment values and on-going lessee creditworthiness. 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). EQUIPMENT SALES MARGIN Equipment sales margin consists of the following: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended June 30, June 30, ------------------------- ------------------------- 1998 1997 1998 1997 ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- Equipment sales revenue $ 498,472 $ 220,845 $ 1,238,897 $ 1,478,046 Cost of equipment sales (333,128) (110,777) (680,891) (1,240,484) ---------- ---------- ----------- ------------ Equipment sales margin $ 165,344 $ 110,068 $ 558,006 $ 237,562 ========== ========== =========== =========== The Partnership is in it's liquidation period (as defined in the Partnership Agreement). Currently, a portion of the Partnership's initial leases are expiring and equipment is being remarketed (i.e., re-leased or sold to the original lessee or third parties). Equipment sales margin increased as the Partnership was successful in realizing amounts on equipment greater than their net book values. INTEREST INCOME Interest income decreased due to a decrease in cash available for investment as the Partnership is in liquidation and therefore distributing excess cash to the partners. PROVISION FOR LOSSES The remarketing of equipment for an amount greater than its book value is reported with 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. 9 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, continued 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 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 six months ended June 30, 1998 and for the same period in 1997 was primarily related to lessees returning equipment to the Partnership. For the 1998 quarter, the Partnership recorded a loss of $425,000 on mining and transportation equipment and office furniture and fixtures held for sale or re-lease. The Partnership had previously expected to realize the carrying value of this equipment through proceeds from the sales of equipment to the original lessees. The fair market value of the equipment is less than anticipated. EXPENSES The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to an increase in non-resident withholding tax for 1997, paid and expensed on behalf of the limited partners during the second quarter of 1998. 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 distributions to the partners. During the three months ended June 30, 1998, the Partnership declared distributions to the partners of $2,044,833 ($1,784,872 of which was paid during July 1998). A portion of such distributions constituted a return of capital for accounting purposes. 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 a Partnership which exceeds its net income for the fiscal period may be deemed a return of capital. However, the total percentage of a partnership's return on capital over its life can only be determined after all residual cash flows (which include proceeds from the re-leasing and sales of equipment after initial lease terms expire) have been realized at the termination of the Partnership. The Partnership is in its liquidation period (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) and distributions during the liquidation period will vary based upon cash availability. All distributions are expected to be a return of capital for economic purposes. 10 CAPITAL PREFERRED YIELD FUND A California Limited Partnership Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Liquidity and Capital Resources, continued - ------------------------------- The general partner currently anticipates that the Partnership will generate cash flow from operations and equipment sales during the remainder of 1998 which, when added to cash and cash equivalents on hand, should provide sufficient cash to enable the Partnership to meet its current operating requirements. The Class B limited partner distributions of cash from operations are subordinated to the Class A limited partners receiving distributions of cash from operations, as scheduled in the Partnership Agreement (i.e., 13%). Therefore, because of the anticipated decrease in distributions to the Class A limited partners, CAII, the sole Class B limited partner, ceased receiving distributions of cash from operations as of August 1997. The general partner believes these cumulative distributions will be paid when the proceeds from the sale of certain equipment become available for distribution. Such proceeds are currently recorded in accounts receivable. YEAR 2000 ISSUES An affiliate provides accounting and other administrative services, including data processing services to the Partnership. The affiliate has conducted a comprehensive review of its computer systems to identify systems that could be affected by the Year 2000 issue. The Year 2000 issue results from computer programs being written using two digits rather than four to define the applicable year. Certain computer programs which have time-sensitive software could recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000. This could result in major system failures or miscalculations. Certain of the affiliates's software have already been updated to software which correctly accounts for the Year 2000. In addition, the affiliate is engaged in a system conversion, whereby the affiliates's main lease tracking and accounting software is being replaced with new systems which will account for the Year 2000 correctly. The general partner does not expect any other changes required for the Year 2000 to have a material effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Partnership. In addition, the general partner does not expect any Year 2000 issues relating to customers and vendors will have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations of the Partnership. Costs incurred by the Partnership to address the Year 2000 issue have been immaterial. 11 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.
