Exhibit Index on Page . ------ ------ ----- PART I ------ Item 1. Business. -------- Copley Realty Income Partners 1; A Limited Partnership (the "Partnership") was organized under the Uniform Limited Partnership Act of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts on November 20, 1985, to invest primarily in newly constructed and existing income-producing real properties. The Partnership was initially capitalized with contributions of $2,000 in the aggregate from First Income Corp. (the "Managing General Partner") and CCOP Associates Limited Partnership (the "Associate General Partner") (collectively, the "General Partners") and $10,000 from Copley Real Estate Advisors, Inc. (the "Initial Limited Partner"). The Partnership filed a Registration Statement on Form S-11 (the "Registration Statement") with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 5, 1985, with respect to a public offering of 40,000 units of limited partnership interest at a purchase price of $1,000 per unit (the "Units") with an option to sell up to an additional 60,000 Units (an aggregate of $100,000,000). The Registration Statement was declared effective on March 27, 1986. The first sale of Units occurred on August 7, 1986, at which time the Initial Limited Partner withdrew its contribution from the Partnership. Investors were admitted to the Partnership thereafter at monthly closings; the offering terminated and the last group of initial investors was admitted to the Partnership on April 9, 1987. As of April 9, 1987, a total of 34,581 Units had been sold, a total of 2,188 investors had been admitted as limited partners (the "Limited Partners") and a total of $34,322,210 had been contributed to the capital of the Partnership. As of December 31, 1996 the Partnership owned the two real property investments described below. In 1990, a third-party mortgage lender foreclosed on a third real estate investment. In 1996, the Partnership sold two other real estate investments. The principal terms of these sales are set forth in the following table: INVESTMENT MONTH/YEAR OF SALE NET SALE PROCEEDS DISTRIBUTION/UNIT DISTRIBUTION MONTH/YEAR Investment Four 4/96 $11,148,837 $177.00 4/96 Investment Five/1/ 8/96 $ 5,202,964 $150.00 8/96 The Partnership has no current plan to renovate, improve or further develop any of its real property. In the opinion of the Managing General Partner of the Partnership, the properties are adequately covered by insurance. The Partnership has no employees. Services are performed for the Partnership by the Managing General Partner and affiliates of the Managing General Partner. A. Warehouse Building in Anaheim, California. ----------------------------------------- On December 30, 1986, the Partnership acquired for $2,000,000 a 60% interest in a joint venture formed with Davis Anaheim Distribution Center Associates ("Davis Development") to construct a one-story warehouse building containing approximately 106,000 square feet of space on a 4.9-acre parcel of land in Anaheim, California. The building was 100% leased as of December 31, 1996. The joint venture agreement, as amended, entitled the Partnership to receive a current preferred return on its capital contribution at the rate of 10% per annum and to receive an additional return at the rate of 0.5% per annum which could be accrued and paid out of sale or refinancing proceeds if sufficient cash flow was not currently available therefor. In addition, the Partnership was entitled to receive 60% of all cash flow from operations, refinancing proceeds and net sale proceeds. - ---------- /1/ Represents net sale proceeds to the Partnership after repayment of related mortgage loan. The Partnership contemporaneously made a non-recourse mortgage loan commitment to the joint venture of up to $2,750,000, which was fully funded. The loan bore interest at the rate of 11% per annum, payable (beginning January 1, 1991) in equal monthly payments of principal and interest, based on a 30-year amortization schedule with a balloon payment at maturity in January, 1996. The loan had a term of ten years, was not prepayable and was secured by a first mortgage on the land and the building. Subsequently, the Partnership increased its investment in the joint venture by committing to make deficit loans to the venture in the maximum amount of $477,000, of which $436,276 was funded. Davis Development committed to make deficit loans to the joint venture in the maximum amount of $318,000, of which $290,850 was funded. The loans bore interest at a rate equal to the prime rate charged by Wells Fargo Bank. As of June 4, 1993, the Partnership's interest was increased from 60% to 61.6%, since Davis Development did not match its proportionate share of a $30,000 operating deficit incurred during the month of May, 1993. The joint venture agreement provided for the repayment of principal and interest on deficit loans from cash flow to the extent that such cash is available after payment of any accrued preferential returns. Effective January 1, 1996, the joint venture was dissolved and ownership of the joint venture assets was assigned to the Partnership. B. Warehouse/Service Center Buildings in Atlanta, Georgia. ------------------------------------------------------ On December 4, 1987, the Partnership acquired a 34.2% interest in a joint venture formed with Copley Realty Income Partners 2; A Limited Partnership, an affiliate of the Partnership (the "Affiliate") which had a 25.8% interest, and an affiliate of Hill Properties, Inc. ("Hill"). Effective January 1, 1990, the joint venture agreement was amended to increase the Partnership's ownership interest in the joint venture to 38.19% and the Affiliate's interest to 28.81%. As of September 3, 1991, as a result of Hill's inability to fund its share of capital contributions, the Partnership and the Affiliate assumed 100% ownership of the property with the Partnership having a 57% interest. As of December 31, 1996, the Partnership had contributed $1,932,300 to the capital of the joint venture. The joint venture agreement, as amended, entitles the Partnership and the Affiliate to receive a preferred return on their respective invested capital at the rate of 10.25% per annum. The joint venture agreement also entitles the Partnership to receive 57% of cash flow following payment of the preferred return and 57% of the net proceeds of sales and financings following return of the Partnership's and the Affiliate's capital contribution. The Partnership also committed to make a loan to the joint venture in the maximum amount of $4,622,700. On October 4, 1989, the Partnership increased its maximum commitment to $4,964,700, of which $4,850,094 had been funded as of December 31, 1996. The loan has a term of ten years and is secured by a first mortgage on the land and buildings. Interest only is payable monthly at the rate of 10.25% per annum. The loan is prepayable at any time, subject to payment of a premium designed to give the Partnership the equivalent yield as if the loan had been outstanding until maturity. The Affiliate also committed to make a loan to the joint venture in the maximum amount of $3,487,300, increased to $3,745,300 on October 4, 1989, of which $3,658,843 had been funded as of December 31, 1996. This loan has the same terms and conditions as the loan from the Partnership and is pari passu with the loan from the Partnership. The Partnership and the Affiliate own approximately 14.9 acres of land in the Medlock Oaks Business Park in Atlanta, Georgia and five service center buildings containing 173,916 square feet of space located thereon. As of December 31, 1996 the five buildings were 97% leased. On February 4, 1997, the joint venture entered into a contract for sale of this investment at a price which exceeded the carrying value.

This information has been gathered from sources deemed reliable. However, the Partnership has not independently verified the information and, as such, cannot guarantee its accuracy or completeness: A. Warehouse Building in Anaheim, CA. ---------------------------------- This property is located within the Orange County industrial market, consisting of 228 million square feet. Anaheim is a desirable industrial location due to its close proximity to major freeways and the central portion of Orange County. At September 30, 1996, overall vacancy was 7.8%, down from 9.3% twelve months earlier. The property more specifically is located within the North Orange County industrial submarket, which has an inventory of 101 million square feet, or 44% of the total Orange County market. As of September 30, 1996, the North Orange County vacancy rate was 6.6%, down from the 8.1% vacancy rate reported one year ago and 11% two years ago. Approximately 3.7 million square feet of new industrial space was either under construction or had been completed as of September 30, 1996 within the Orange County market. B. Industrial/Service Center Buildings in Atlanta, GA. --------------------------------------------------- This investment is located in the Metropolitan Atlanta Industrial market which totaled 294 million square feet at September 30, 1996, an increase of more than nine million square feet from December 31, 1995, including approximately 6.7 million square feet from speculative construction. Overall vacancy was 6% at September 30, 1996, a slight increase from the 5.4% recorded at year end 1995. The Northeast/I-85 submarket had a total inventory of approximately 82.5 million square feet, which represents an increase of 4.3 million square feet from year end 1995. Submarket vacancy increased during the first three quarters of the year from 4.4% to 5.4% at September 30, 1996. Item 3. Legal Proceedings. ----------------- The Partnership is not a party to, nor are any of its properties subject to, any material pending legal proceedings. Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders. --------------------------------------------------- No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K. PART II ------- Item 5. Market for Registrant's Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters. --------------------------------------------------------------------- There is no active market for the Units. Trading in the Units is sporadic and occurs solely through private transactions. As of December 31, 1996, there were 2,288 holders of Units. The Partnership's Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership dated August 7, 1986, as amended to date (the "Partnership Agreement"), requires that any Distributable Cash (as defined therein) be distributed quarterly to the Partners in specified proportions and priorities. There are no restrictions on the Partnership's present or future ability to make distributions of Distributable Cash. For the year ended December 31, 1996, cash distributions paid in 1996, or distributed after year end with respect to 1996, to the Limited Partners as a group totaled $12,452,964, including $11,307,987 ($327 per limited partnership unit) representing proceeds from the sales of two properties. For the year ended December 31, 1995, cash distributions paid in 1995, or distributed after year end with respect to 1995, to the Limited Partners as a group totaled $2,161,312. Largely due to the capital distributions mentioned above, total cash distributions exceeded net income in 1996, and reduced partners' capital accordingly. Regular cash distributions from operations, however, were less than cash provided by operations.

Cash distributions include returns of capital totaling $327.00 per Limited Partnership Unit. ITEM 7. - ------- 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 April 1987, and a total of 34,581 units were sold. The Partnership received proceeds of $30,812,718, net of selling commissions and other offering costs, which have been invested in real estate, used to pay related acquisition costs or retained as working capital reserves. On April 9, 1996, the Partnership sold the Zehntel property for $11,449,612, of which $4,215,073 was used to pay off the related mortgage loan and $506,687 was used to complete certain improvements. Net proceeds to the Partnership, after closing costs, was $11,148,837. A disposition fee of $343,488 was accrued but not paid to the advisor. On April 25, 1996, the Partnership made a capital distribution of $6,120,837 ($177 per limited partnership unit), which reduced the adjusted capital contribution to $823 per unit. On August 13, 1996, the United Exposition property was sold for $5,372,500. The Partnership received net proceeds of $5,202,964, after closing costs. A disposition fee of $161,175 was accrued but not paid to the advisor. On August 29, 1996, the Partnership made a capital distribution of $5,187,150 ($150 per limited partnership unit), which reduced the adjusted capital contribution to $673 per unit. At December 31, 1996, the Partnership had $1,465,082 in cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments, of which $235,081 was used for cash distributions to partners on January 30, 1997; 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 quarter of 1995 were made at an annualized rate of 7.0% on a capital contribution of $1,000 per unit. Distributions of cash from operations for the remaining three quarters of 1995 were made at an annualized rate of 6.0%. The distribution rate was decreased due to the restructuring and extension of a lease at the Zehntel property, as discussed below. Distributions of cash from operations were made at an annualized rate of 4.0% for all four quarters of 1996; the second and third quarter distribution rates were based on the weighted average adjusted capital contribution. The distribution rate was decreased to 4.0% in 1996, in line with the cash flow decreases resulting from the sale of the Zehntel and United Exposition investments. The carrying value of real estate investments in the financial statements at December 31, 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 December 31, 1996, the aggregate appraised value of the Partnership's investments was approximately $800,000 greater than their aggregate carrying value. The current appraised value of real estate investments has been determined by the Managing General Partner and is generally based on a combination of traditional appraisal approaches performed by the Partnership's advisor 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 Medlock Oaks investment is structured as a joint venture with an affiliate of the Partnership. The Anaheim investment was structured as a joint venture with a real estate management/development firm. Effective January 1, 1996, however, the venture was dissolved and all of its assets and liabilities were transferred to the Partnership, whereby the property became wholly-owned by the Partnership. The Zehntel and United Exposition investments, which were sold in April and August of 1996, respectively, were wholly-owned properties. Operating Factors The Zehntel property, which is comprised of two R&D buildings, was fully leased to a single tenant through June, 1996. During the third quarter of 1995, the Partnership signed a lease extension with the lessee for one of the buildings through December, 2000. The extension was retroactive to April 1, 1995, and was at a lower rental rate than under the previous lease. In the third quarter of 1995, the tenant sub-leased the second building to a sub-tenant which executed a primary lease for the building through June 2002. During the third quarter of 1995, after deciding to market the Zehntel property for sale, the Managing General Partner determined that the Partnership would not likely recover its carrying value over the shortened investment period. Accordingly, the Partnership reduced the carrying value to its estimated net fair market value, less selling costs, with a charge to operations of $2,200,000. The carrying value was further reduced by $400,000 in the fourth quarter of 1995, with the refinement of the estimate based on the terms of the sale transaction discussed above. The Partnership recognized a gain of $21,483 ($.62 per limited partnership unit) upon final settlement of the sale transaction. The United Exposition property also consists of two buildings which have been 100% leased to one tenant since 1987. The Partnership recognized a gain of $885,059 ($25.34 per limited partnership unit) on the sale. At Medlock Oaks, occupancy was 97%, 95% and 100% at December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The Managing General Partner determined in 1994 that the carrying value of this investment would likely not be recoverable, and reduced the carrying value to estimated net realizable value with a charge to operations of $200,000. In the first quarter of 1996, the Managing General Partner determined that the Partnership would be unable to recover the carrying value of this investment and, accordingly, the carrying value was reduced by $250,000 through a charge to operations. The property is now under contract for sale, which is expected to close in the second quarter of 1997. The selling price will exceed the carrying value of the investment. Occupancy at the Anaheim Distribution Center property was 100% at December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994. One lease expires during 1997, representing 27% of the space. Two tenants each contributed more than 10% of the total rental revenue from the Partnership's investments (collectively 55%) in 1996. These tenants were occupants of the properties sold during 1996. Investment Results 1996 Compared to 1995 Exclusive of the valuation allowances related to Medlock Oaks in 1996 and Zehntel in 1995, aggregate operating results from real estate investments were $1,176,591 in 1996 and $1,870,411 in 1995. The Zehntel and United Exposition properties were owned for only a portion of 1996, which resulted in a decrease in operating income of $784,000. Operating income from Anaheim Distribution Center increased by $46,000 between 1996 and 1995 primarily due to rental increases and lower depreciation charges. Operating income from Medlock Oaks also increased by $40,000 due to rental increases. Interest on cash equivalents and short-term investments decreased by $3,000 in 1996 as compared to 1995, primarily due to lower invested balances as well as lower short-term yields. Cash flow provided by operating activities decreased by $1,103,000 between 1996 and 1995. This change was primarily caused by the Zehntel and United Exposition sales, including the payment of $77,000 for lease commissions at Zehntel, and the payment of $207,000 held by the Partnership as various deposits. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in cash flow from Medlock Oaks and by changes in working capital items. 1995 Compared to 1994 Exclusive of the valuation allowances related to Zehntel in 1995 and Medlock Oaks in 1994, operating results from real estate investments were $1,870,411 in 1995 and $2,031,065 in 1994. The decrease primarily stems from reduced rental income after the lease restructuring at Zehntel. Operating results also declined by $30,000 at Medlock Oaks due to lower average occupancy, as well as the write-off of tenant improvements. These decreases were partially offset by a $68,000 improvement in operating results at Anaheim due to increased rentals and a decrease in amortization of tenant improvements. Interest on cash equivalents and short-term investments increased by $36,000 in 1995 as compared to 1994, primarily as a result of an increase in short-term yields and higher average invested balances. Cash flow from operations decreased by $295,000 in 1995 compared to 1994, consistent with the change in operating results before the investment valuation allowances. Portfolio Expenses General and administrative expenses primarily consist of real estate appraisal, legal, accounting, printing and servicing agent fees. These expenses decreased approximately $32,000 or 22%, in 1996 as compared to 1995, primarily due to a decrease in legal and professional fees. General and administrative expenses increased $16,000 or 12% between 1994 and 1995, primarily due to increased 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 decreased in both 1996 and 1995 compared to the respective prior years due to the decreases in distributable cash flow. INFLATION - --------- By their nature, real estate investments tend not to be adversely affected by inflation. Inflation may tend to result in appreciation in the value of the Partnership's real estate investments over time, if rental rates and replacement costs increase. Declines in real property values during the period of Partnership operations, due to market and economic conditions, have overshadowed the overall positive effect inflation may have on the value of the Partnership's investments.

Report of Independent Accountants --------------------------------- To the Partners COPLEY REALTY INCOME PARTNERS 1; A LIMITED PARTNERSHIP In our opinion, based upon our audits and the reports of other auditors, for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, the financial statements listed in the accompanying index present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Copley Realty Income Partners 1; A Limited Partnership (the "Partnership") at December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. These financial statements are the responsibility of First Income Corp., the Managing General Partner of the Partnership; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We did not audit the financial statements of the Partnership's Medlock Oaks joint venture investee for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, which results of operations are recorded using the equity method of accounting in the Partnership's financial statements. Equity in joint venture income for this joint venture investee was $280,509, $240,331 and $270,638 for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. We also did not audit the financial statements of the Partnership's investment in Anaheim Distribution Center for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994. Operating income for this investment totalled $410,656 for the year ended December 31, 1996, and equity in joint venture income was $250,312 and $182,243 for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994. Those statements were audited by other auditors whose reports thereon have been furnished to us, and our opinion expressed herein, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for the equity in joint venture income for Medlock Oaks for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, and for the operating income and the equity in joint venture income for Anaheim Distribution Center for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, is based solely on the reports of the other auditors. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the accounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by the Managing General Partner, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits and the reports of other auditors for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Partnership changed its method of accounting for impaired long-lived assets and for long-lived assets to be disposed of effective January 1, 1995 in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long- Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of". /s/ Price Waterhouse LLP - ------------------------- Boston, Massachusetts March 26, 1997 COPLEY REALTY INCOME PARTNERS 1;

(See accompanying notes to financial statements) COPLEY REALTY INCOME PARTNERS 1; A LIMITED PARTNERSHIP NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS - ---------------------------------- General - ------- Copley Realty Income Partners 1; 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. The Partnership commenced operations in August 1986, and acquired the two real estate investments it currently owns prior to the end of 1987. The Partnership intended to dispose of its investments within nine years of their acquisition, and then liquidate; however, the Managing General Partner expects to extend the investment period at least into 1998, having determined it to be in the best interest of the limited partners. The Managing General Partner of the Partnership is First Income Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of AEW Real Estate Advisors, Inc. ("AEW"), formerly known as Copley Real Estate Advisors, Inc. ("Copley"). The associate general partner is CCOP Associates Limited Partnership, a Massachusetts limited partnership, the general partners of which are managing directors of AEW and/or officers of the Managing General Partner. Subject to the Managing General Partner's overall authority, the business of the Partnership is managed by AEW pursuant to an advisory contract. On December 10, 1996, Copley's parent, New England Investment Companies, Limited Partnership ("NEIC"), a publicly traded master limited partnership, acquired certain assets subject to then existing liabilities from Aldrich, Eastman & Waltch, Inc. and its affiliates and principals (collectively "the AEW Operations"). Simultaneously, a new entity, AEW Capital Management L.P. was formed, into which NEIC contributed its interests in Copley and its affiliates. As a result, the AEW Operations were combined with Copley to form the business operations of AEW Capital Management, L.P. This transaction is not expected to have a material effect on the operations of the Partnership. Prior to August 30, 1996, New England Mutual Life Insurance Company ("The New England") was NEIC's principal unit holder and owner of all the outstanding stock of NEIC's general partner. On August 30, 1996, The New England merged with and into Metropolitan Life Insurance Company ("Met Life"). Met Life is the surviving entity and, therefore, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, became the owner of the units of partnership interest previously owned by The New England and of the stock of NEIC's general partner. This transaction is not expected to have a material effect on the operations of the Partnership. Management - ---------- AEW, as advisor, is entitled to receive stipulated fees from the Partnership in consideration of services performed in connection with the management of the Partnership and acquisition and disposition of Partnership investments in real property. Partnership management fees are 9% of distributable cash flow from operations, as defined, before deducting such fees. AEW is also reimbursed for expenses incurred in connection with administering the Partnership ($16,000 in 1996, $17,746 in 1995, and $6,270 in 1994). Acquisition fees were based on 3% of the gross proceeds from the offering available for investment and paid at the time commitments were initially funded. Disposition fees are generally 3% of the selling price of property, but are subject to the prior receipt by the limited partners of their capital contributions plus a stipulated return thereon. New England Securities Corporation, an indirect subsidiary of Met Life, is engaged by the Partnership to act as its unit holder servicing agent. Fees and out-of-pocket expenses for such services totaled $3,541, $3,193 and $4,468 in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - --------------------------------------------------- Accounting Estimates - -------------------- The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires the Managing General Partner to make estimates affecting the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and of revenues and expenses. In the Partnership's business, certain estimates require an assessment of factors not within management's control, such as the ability of tenants to perform under long-term leases and the ability of the properties to sustain their occupancies in changing markets. Actual results, therefore, could differ from those estimates. Real Estate Joint Ventures - -------------------------- Investments in joint ventures, including loans made to joint ventures, which are in substance real estate investments, are stated at cost plus (minus) equity in undistributed joint venture income (losses). Allocations of joint venture income (losses) were made to the Partnership's venture partners as long as they had substantial economic equity in the project. Economic equity is measured by the excess of the appraised value of the property over the Partnership's total cash investment plus accrued preferential returns and interest thereon. For its one remaining joint venture investment, the Partnership records its ownership share of the operating results, after the elimination of all inter-entity transactions, since its venture partner, an affiliate of the Partnership, has substantial economic equity in the project. Joint ventures are consolidated with the accounts of the Partnership if, and when, the venture partner no longer shares in the control of the business. Property - -------- Property includes land and buildings and improvements, which are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation, plus other operating net assets. The Partnership's initial carrying value of a property previously owned by a joint venture equals the Partnership's carrying value of the predecessor investment on the conversion date. Capitalized Costs, Depreciation and Amortization - ------------------------------------------------ Maintenance and repair costs are expensed as incurred; significant improvements and renewals are capitalized. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of the buildings and improvements. Leasing costs are also capitalized and amortized over the related lease terms. Acquisition fees have been capitalized as part of the cost of real estate investments. Amounts not related to land are being amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the underlying real property. Realizability of Real Estate Investments - ---------------------------------------- The Partnership considers a real estate investment to be impaired when it determines the carrying value of the investment is not recoverable through expected undiscounted cash flows from the operations and disposition of the property. The impairment loss is based on the excess of the investment's carrying value over its estimated fair market value. For investments being held for sale, the impairment loss also includes estimated costs of sale. Property held for sale is not depreciated during the holding period. Prior to the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 as of January 1, 1995, the reduction in the investment carrying value was to estimated net realizable value. The carrying value of an investment may be more or less than its current appraised value. At December 31, 1996, the aggregate appraised value of the Partnership's investments was approximately $800,000 greater than their carrying value after giving effect to previously recorded valuation allowances. At December 31, 1995, the appraised value of one of the Partnership's investments exceeded its related carrying value by $1,400,000. The carrying values of the remaining investments approximated their related appraised values. 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 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. Cash Equivalents and Short-Term Investments - ------------------------------------------- Cash equivalents are stated at cost, plus accrued interest. The Partnership considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of ninety days or less to be cash equivalents; otherwise, they are classified as short-term investments. The Partnership has the positive intent and ability to hold all short- term investments to maturity; therefore, short-term investments are carried at cost plus accrued interest, which approximates market value. At December 31, 1996 and 1995, all investments are in commercial paper with less than two months and five months, respectively, remaining to maturity. Deferred Disposition Fees - ------------------------- According to the terms of the advisory contract, AEW is entitled to disposition fees related to sales of real estate investments. Payment of the fees, however, is contingent upon the limited partners first receiving their capital, plus a stipulated return thereon. Since inception, the Partnership has sold two investments and has accrued disposition fees totaling $504,663 through December 31, 1996. Income Taxes - ------------ A partnership is not liable for income taxes and, therefore, no provision for income taxes is made in the financial statements of the Partnership. A proportionate share of the Partnership's income is reportable on each partner's tax return. Per Unit Computations - --------------------- Per unit computations are based on the number of units of limited partnership interest outstanding during the year. The actual per unit amount will vary by partner depending on the date of admission to, or withdrawal from, the Partnership. NOTE 3 - INVESTMENT IN PROPERTY - ------------------------------- The following is a summary of the Partnership's investment in property: December 31, ------------------------- 1996 1995 ----------- ------------ Land $1,279,147 $ 7,973,584 Buildings and improvements 2,482,904 12,085,214 Investment valuation allowance - (2,600,000) Other net assets 5,819 156,818 Accumulated depreciation (83,671) (4,174,150) ---------- ----------- Net carrying value $3,684,199 $13,441,466 ========== =========== The net carrying value at December 31, 1996 relates solely to Anaheim Distribution Center. The net carrying value at December 31, 1995 was comprised of the Zehntel and United Exposition properties at $9,533,690 and $3,907,776, respectively. The buildings and improvements of Anaheim Distribution Center are being depreciated over 30 years, beginning January 1, 1996. Anaheim Distribution Center - --------------------------- On December 30, 1986, the Partnership entered into a joint venture with an affiliate of Davis Development to construct and operate an industrial facility located in Anaheim, California. The Partnership invested $5,216,276 in the joint venture in the form of capital contributions and loans. Effective January 1, 1996, the joint venture was dissolved and ownership of the venture's net assets was assigned to the Partnership. Accordingly, as of this date, the investment is being accounted for as a wholly-owned property. The carrying value of the joint venture investment at conversion ($3,763,820) was allocated to land, building and improvements, and other net operating assets. The aggregate minimum rents under non-cancelable leases are as follows: 1997-$487,000; 1998-$394,000; 1999-$406,000; 2000-$419,000; 2001- $381,000; thereafter-$318,000. Zehntel - ------- On September 11, 1986, the Partnership acquired two one-story research and development buildings and land located in Walnut Creek, California, subject to a first mortgage loan. The property was listed for sale during the third quarter of 1995, and the indication from the market was that the Partnership would likely not recover its net carrying value over the shortened investment period. Accordingly, the Partnership recognized an investment valuation allowance of $2,200,000 through a charge to operations. The carrying value was further reduced by $400,000 in the fourth quarter of 1995, with the refinement of the fair market value estimate based on the terms of the pending sale transaction. The property was sold on April 9, 1996 for $11,449,612, of which $4,215,073 was used to repay the related mortgage loan and $506,687 was used to complete certain improvements and pay certain costs, as conditions of the sale. After closing costs, the Partnership received net proceeds of $11,148,837 and recognized a gain of $21,483 ($0.62 per limited partnership unit) on the sale. (Approximately $50,000 was received in the fourth quarter of 1996, upon the finalization of all conditions.) A disposition fee of $343,488 was accrued but not paid to the advisor. On April 25, 1996, the Partnership made a capital distribution of $6,120,837 ($177 per limited partnership unit) from the proceeds. United Exposition - ----------------- On October 28, 1987, the Partnership acquired two industrial buildings and land located in Las Vegas, Nevada. On August 13, 1996, the United Exposition property was sold for $5,372,500. The Partnership received net proceeds of $5,202,964, after closing costs, and recognized a gain of $885,059 ($25.34 per limited partnership unit). A disposition fee of $161,175 was accrued but not paid to the advisor. On August 29, 1996, the Partnership made a capital distribution of $5,187,150 ($150 per limited partnership unit) from the proceeds. NOTE 4 - REAL ESTATE JOINT VENTURES - ----------------------------------- The Partnership was invested in two real estate joint ventures organized as general partnerships with a real estate management/development firm. One joint venture investment was restructured into a wholly-owned property in 1996. The Partnership made capital contributions to the ventures, which are subject to preferential cash distributions at a specified rate and to priority distributions with respect to sale or refinancing proceeds. The Partnership also made loans to these ventures. The Joint venture agreements provide for the funding of cash flow deficits by the venture partners in proportion to ownership interests, and for the dilution of ownership share in the event a venture partner does not contribute proportionately. The respective real estate management/development firm is responsible for day-to-day development and operating activities, although overall authority and responsibility for the business is shared by the venturers. The real estate management/development firms, or their affiliates, also provide various services to the joint ventures for a fee. The following is a summary of cash invested in joint ventures, net of returns of capital or principal, and excluding investment acquisition fees: Rate of Ownership December 31, ---------------------- Investment/Location Return/Interest Interest 1996 1995 - ----------------------------- ---------------- ---------------------- ---------- ---------- Anaheim Distribution Center Anaheim, California 10.5% 1995 - 61.6% (C) - $2,012,000 11.0% (L) - $2,670,331 Prime (L) - $ 454,276 Medlock Oaks Atlanta, Georgia 10.25% 57% (C) $1,932,300 $1,932,300 10.25% (L) $4,850,094 $4,850,094 (C) Capital contribution (L) Loan Medlock Oaks - ------------ On December 4, 1987, the Partnership entered into a joint venture with an affiliate of the Partnership and with an affiliate of Hill Properties, Ltd., to construct and operate five warehouse and service center buildings located in Atlanta, Georgia. The Partnership made a capital contribution of $1,932,300 to the venture which is subject to preferential returns of 10.25% per annum. In addition, the Partnership made a construction/permanent mortgage loan to the venture of $4,964,700, which bears interest at 10.25% per annum. On September 3, 1991, ownership of the investment was restructured as a result of the management/development firm's decision not to contribute its required proportionate share of capital to fund operating deficits. Its ownership interest was assigned pro rata to the Partnership and its affiliate. As a result, the Partnership's ownership interest increased from 38.19% to 57%. The aggregate minimum rents due to the venture under non-cancelable leases are $950,240, $679,580, $206,515 and $60,062 in 1997 through 2000, respectively. The Managing General Partner determined in 1994 that the carrying value of this investment should be reduced to its net realizable value. Accordingly, the carrying value was reduced by $200,000 with a charge to operations. In the first quarter of 1996, the Managing General Partner determined that the Partnership would be unable to recover the carrying value of this investment and, accordingly, the carrying value was reduced by $250,000 through a charge to investment valuation allowances. The property is now under contract for sale which is expected to close in the second quarter of 1997. The selling price will exceed the investment carrying value of $4,704,079 at December 31, 1996. For the year then ended, the Partnership's share of joint venture earnings was $280,509. Summarized Financial Information - -------------------------------- The following summarized financial information is presented in the aggregate for the investments in joint ventures: Assets and Liabilities ---------------------- December 31, -------------------------- 1996 1995 ---------- ----------- Assets Real property, at cost less accumulated depreciation of $2,821,679 and $3,469,239 $7,702,658 $11,520,507 Other 288,149 352,804 ---------- ----------- 7,990,807 11,873,311 Liabilities 86,084 104,215 ---------- ----------- Net assets $7,904,723 $11,769,096 ========== =========== Results of Operations --------------------- Year ended December 31, -------------------------------------- 1996 1995 1994 ---------- ---------- ----------- Revenue Rental income $1,165,073 $1,571,560 $ 1,524,741 Other 114,609 110,184 113,514 ---------- ---------- ----------- 1,279,682 1,681,744 1,638,255 ---------- ---------- ----------- Expenses Depreciation and amortization 454,305 579,916 595,450 Operating expenses 321,958 409,923 365,800 ---------- ---------- ----------- 776,263 989,839 961,250 ---------- ---------- ----------- Net income $ 503,419 $ 691,905 $ 677,005 ========== ========== =========== 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.

Cash distributions are made quarterly. Net sale proceeds and financing proceeds will be allocated first to limited partners to the extent of their contributed capital plus a stipulated return thereon, as defined, second to pay disposition fees, and then 85% to the limited partners and 15% to the general partners. Income from sales is allocated in proportion to the distribution of related proceeds, provided that the general partners are allocated at least 1%. Income or losses from sales, if there are no residual proceeds after the repayment of the related debt, are allocated 99% to the limited partners and 1% to the general partners.

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Joint Venture's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of MEDLOCK OAKS ASSOCIATES as of December 31, 1996 and 1995 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995, and 1994 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. /s/ Habif, Arogeti & Wynne, P.C.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: ------------------------------------------ Terms of the Joint Venture Agreement: ------------------------------------ MEDLOCK OAKS ASSOCIATES, a Georgia joint venture, was formed December 4, 1987 under an agreement between Copley Realty Income Partners 1 and 2 [CRIP 1 and CRIP 2], two Massachusetts limited partnerships, and Hill Limited #10 [Hill], a Georgia limited partnership, with initial ownership interests of 34.2%, 25.8% and 40%, respectively. Effective January 1, 1990, the respective interests of the Venturers were: CRIP 1 - 38.19%; CRIP 2 - 28.81%; and Hill's - 33%. On September 3, 1991, the Joint Venture entered into an agreement for the transfer and assignment of Hill's 33% Joint Venture interest to CRIP 1 and CRIP 2. Upon execution of the agreement, CRIP 1 and CRIP 2's partnership interests increased to 57% and 43%, respectively. Under this agreement, Hill has no rights or entitlements to any future allocations and distributions or to any amounts accrued as of the date of the transfer. The purpose of the Venture is to own and operate Medlock Oaks Business Center located in Gwinnett County, Georgia. The Project consists of two phases. Phase I consists of three office/warehouse buildings with approximately 114,900 rentable square feet and was completed in December 1987. Phase II consists of two office/warehouse buildings with approximately 60,200 rentable square feet and was completed in May 1990. CRIP 1 and CRIP 2 initially contributed $1,932,300 and $1,457,700 to the Joint Venture. Except as provided in the Joint Venture Agreement, the Venturers will not be required to make any further capital contributions. The operating cash flow, as defined in the Joint Venture Agreement, must be distributed in the following order of priority: - To CRIP 1 and 2, pro rata, based on their respective amounts of invested capital, in payment of any monthly guaranteed payments. - To CRIP 1 and 2, pro rata, based on their respective amounts of invested capital, in payment of any outstanding accrued monthly guaranteed payments. - To the Venturers in payment of their default priority returns. - To the Venturers in payment of their deficit preferred returns. - To the Venturers in accordance with their respective interests. -7- MEDLOCK OAKS ASSOCIATES NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS [CONTINUED] DECEMBER 31, 1996, 1995, AND 1994 A. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: [Continued] ------------------------------------------ Capitalization: -------------- All costs related to planning, development, and construction of the buildings have been capitalized as construction costs. Costs incurred to form the Joint Venture, obtain financing, and promote the development have also been capitalized. Interest incurred on the notes was capitalized during the 1990 construction and lease up periods. Property: -------- Property is carried at cost. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed currently, while renewals and betterments that materially extend the life of an asset are capitalized. The cost of assets sold, retired, or otherwise disposed of, and the related allowance for depreciation, are eliminated from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is included in operations. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets which are as follows: Buildings and improvements 30 years Tenant improvements 15 years Amortization: ------------ Deferred lease commissions costs were capitalized and are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the related lease. Leasing Revenue: --------------- Income from operating leases, which includes scheduled increases over the lease term, is recognized on a straight-line basis. For the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995, and 1994, income recognized on a straight-line basis was less than income which would have accrued in accordance with the lease by approximately $8,000, $5,000, and $90,000, respectively. Receivables which resulted from recognizing income on a straight-line basis totaled $69,930 at December 31, 1996 and $80,670 at December 31, 1995. -8- MEDLOCK OAKS ASSOCIATES NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS [CONTINUED] DECEMBER 31, 1996, 1995, AND 1994 A. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: [Continued] ------------------------------------------ Receivables: ----------- The Venture provides warehouse and office space to tenants located in the metropolitan Atlanta area. Credit is issued based upon the size of the company, its past history, and other factors. Tenants are approved by all venturers. If any defaults occur, the accounting loss would be the value of receivables owed by the tenant, any unamortized leasing commissions and, possibly, tenant improvements provided to the tenant by the Venture. Reclassifications: ----------------- Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 1996 presentation. Income Taxes: ------------ No provision has been made for income taxes because each venturer's proportionate share of the Joint Venture income or loss is passed through to be included in the individual tax return of the venturer. B. NOTES PAYABLE: ------------- Under the notes payable to CRIP 1 and CRIP 2, as amended effective January 1, 1990, the Joint Venture may borrow up to $8,710,000 ($4,964,700 from CRIP 1 and $3,745,300 from CRIP 2) at 10.25% per annum for the construction of Phase I tenant improvements, the Phase II building shell and Phase II tenant improvements. The notes bear interest at an annual rate of 10.25% per annum which is payable monthly through December 4, 1997, at which date all outstanding principal and accrued interest is due. The notes are secured by a first mortgage on the land and buildings as well as an assignment of all leases and rental income. Total principal due under these notes at December 31, 1996 and 1995 was $4,850,094 to CRIP 1 and $3,658,843 to CRIP 2. Accrued interest of $1,033,002 and $1,083,815 relating to those notes has been included in the accompanying balance sheets at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The Joint Venture paid $922,978, $743,020, and $691,847 in interest in 1996, 1995, and 1994, respectively. C. GUARANTEED PAYMENTS: ------------------- The Venture is required to make monthly guaranteed payments to CRIP 1 and 2 based on the amount of invested capital outstanding in CRIP 1 and 2's capital accounts for each month during the year. The guaranteed payments accrue at the rate of 10.25% per annum and unpaid guaranteed payments accrue at 10.25% per annum. Guaranteed payments totaled $198,061 for CRIP 1 and $149,414 for CRIP 2 in each of the last three years. Amounts accrued but unpaid are $2,171,719 and $1,824,244 at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Accrued interest related to the unpaid guaranteed payments totaled $853,863 and $578,869 at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. -9- MEDLOCK OAKS ASSOCIATES NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS [CONTINUED] DECEMBER 31, 1996, 1995, AND 1994 D. LEASE RENTALS: ------------- At present, the Joint Venture has approximately 19 tenants. Future minimum rentals to be received under the existing leases at December 31, 1996, which are classified and accounted for as operating leases, are as follows: December 31, Lease Revenues ------------ -------------- 1997 $950,240 1998 679,580 1999 206,515 2000 60,062 --------- $1,896,397 ========= E. MATTERS AFFECTING OPERATIONS: ---------------------------- The Joint Venture has incurred operating losses since inception and currently projects operating losses and cash flow deficits for the next year in excess of committed borrowing capacity. Therefore, the ability of the Joint Venture to continue as a going concern is dependent upon obtaining additional financing, or funding from CRIP 1 and CRIP 2, since the success of future operations cannot be determined at this time. The management of CRIP 1 and CRIP 2 has indicated its intentions to provide the additional financing as needed by deferring payments of interest and making capital contributions or loans to provide for continued operations of the Joint Venture through at least January 1, 1998.
