(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, 1997 and December 31, 1996 and the results of its operations, its cash flows and partners' capital (deficit) for the interim periods ended September 30, 1997 and 1996. These adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. See notes to financial statements included in the Partnership's 1996 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 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 remaining real estate investment it currently owns during 1986. The Partnership intended to dispose of its investments within nine years of their acquisition, and then liquidate; however, the managing general partner has extended the holding period, having determined it to be in the best interest of the limited partners. The Partnership intends to liquidate and dissolve in 1998. The Partnership has engaged AEW Real Estate Advisors, Inc. (the "Advisor") to provide asset management advisory services. NOTE 2 -PROPERTY - ---------------- Effective January 1, 1996, the East Anaheim Distribution Center joint venture was dissolved and the venture partner's ownership interest 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 Zehntel property, located in Walnut Creek, California, was sold on April 9, 1996. On August 13, 1996, the United Exposition property, located in Las Vegas, Nevada, was sold. The following is a summary of the Partnership's investment in the East Anaheim property: September 30, 1997 December 31, 1996 ------------------- ------------------ Land $1,279,147 $1,279,147 Buildings and improvements 2,519,289 2,482,904 Other net assets 53,326 5,819 Accumulated depreciation (154,273) (83,671) ---------- ---------- Net carrying value $3,697,489 $3,684,199 ========== ========== NOTE 3 - REAL ESTATE JOINT VENTURES - ----------------------------------- On May 2, 1997, the Medlock Oaks buildings, which were owned by the Partnership (57%) and an affiliate (43%), were sold for a total sales price of $9,402,779. The Partnership received net proceeds of $5,246,979, after closing costs, and recognized a gain of $507,980 ($14.54 per limited partnership unit) on the sale. A disposition fee of $160,740 was accrued but not paid to the Advisor. On May 29, 1997, the Partnership made a capital distribution of $5,221,731 ($151 per limited partnership unit) from the proceeds of the sale. The following summarized financial information relates to the Medlock Oaks joint venture: Assets and Liabilities ---------------------- September 30, 1997 December 31, 1996 ------------------ ----------------- Assets Real property, at cost less accumulated depreciation of $0 and $2,821,679 $ $ 7,702,658 Other -- 288,149 ------------------ ----------------- -- 7,990,807 Liabilities -- 86,084 ------------------ ----------------- Net Assets $ -- $ 7,904,723 ================== ================= Results of Operations Period from January 1, 1997 Nine Months Ended through May 2, 1997 September 30, 1996 ------------------- ------------------ Revenue Rental income $400,861 $965,082 Other 735 1,627 ------------------ ----------------- 401,596 966,709 ------------------ ----------------- Expenses Depreciation and amortization 156,940 334,676 Operating expenses 112,258 209,318 ------------------ ----------------- 269,198 543,994 ------------------ ----------------- Net income $ 132,398 $ 422,715 ================== ================= Liabilities and expenses exclude amounts owed and attributable to the Partnership and its affiliate on behalf of their various financing arrangements with the joint venture. NOTE 4 - SUBSEQUENT EVENT - -------------------------- Distributions of cash from operations relating to the quarter ended September 30, 1997 were made on October 30, 1997 in the aggregate amount of $91,168 ($2.61 per limited partnership unit). On October 24, 1997, the Partnership sold the East Anaheim property to an institutional buyer (the "Buyer"), which is unaffiliated with the Partnership. The selling price was determined by arm's length negotiations between the Partnership and the Buyer. The East Anaheim property was sold for $4,700,000; the Partnership received net proceeds of approximately $4,676,000. Accordingly, the East Anaheim property has been reclassified on the Balance Sheet as "Property held for disposition". This transaction will be accounted for in the fourth quarter of 1997. 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. In connection with two sales in 1996, capital of $11,307,987 has been returned to the limited partners. On April 25, 1996, the Partnership made a capital distribution of $177 per limited partnership unit, which reduced the adjusted capital contribution to $823 per unit. On August 29, 1996, the Partnership made a capital distribution of $150 per limited partnership unit, which reduced the adjusted capital contribution to $673 per unit. On May 2, 1997, the Medlock Oaks buildings, which were owned by the Partnership (57%) and an affiliate (43%), were sold for a total sales price of $9,402,779. The Partnership received net proceeds of $5,246,979, after closing costs, and recognized a gain of $507,980 ($14.54 per limited partnership unit) on the sale. A disposition fee of $160,740 was accrued but not paid to the Advisor. On May 29, 1997, the Partnership made a capital distribution of $5,221,731 ($151 per limited partnership unit) from the proceeds of the sale. The distribution reduced the adjusted capital contribution to $522 per unit. At September 30, 1997, the Partnership had $960,026 in cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments, of which $91,168 was used for cash distributions to partners on October 30, 1997; the remainder is being retained for working capital reserves. The source of future liquidity and cash distributions to partners will primarily be cash generated by the Partnership's short-term investments. Distributions of cash from operations relating to the first three quarters of 1996 were made at an annualized rate of 4.0%; the first quarter 1996 distribution was based on a capital contribution of $1,000 per unit; the second and third quarter 1996 distributions were based on the weighted average adjusted capital contribution. Distributions of cash from operations were made at an annualized rate of 2.0% for the first three quarters of 1997; the first quarter 1997 distribution was based on the adjusted capital contribution of $673 per unit; the second quarter 1997 distribution was based on the weighted average adjusted capital contribution; the third quarter 1997 distribution was based on the adjusted capital contribution of $522 per unit. The distribution rate was decreased in 1997, in line with the cash flow decreases resulting from the sale of the Zehntel and United Exposition investments, and the impending sale of Medlock Oaks during the second quarter of 1997. On October 24, 1997, the Partnership sold the East Anaheim property to an institutional buyer (the "Buyer"), which is unaffiliated with the Partnership. The selling price was determined by arm's length negotiations between the Partnership and the Buyer. The East Anaheim property was sold for $4,700,000; the Partnership received net proceeds of approximately $4,676,000. Accordingly, the East Anaheim property has been reclassified on the Balance Sheet as "Property held for disposition". This transaction will be accounted for in the fourth quarter of 1997. Results of Operations Form of Real Estate Investments The Medlock Oaks investment was 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 East Anaheim 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 at the time of its sale. The United Exposition property also consists of two buildings which had been 100% leased to one tenant at the time of sale. As discussed above, the Partnership and its affiliate sold the Medlock Oaks buildings on May 2, 1997, and recognized a gain of $507,980. Occupancy at Medlock Oaks increased from 92% at March 31, 1997 to 100% as of the sale date. (Occupancy was 97% at December 31, 1996 and 95% at September 30, 1996.) 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 further reduced by $250,000 through a charge to operations. Occupancy at East Anaheim remained at 100% at September 30, 1997. (Occupancy was also 100% at December 31, 1996 and September 30, 1996.) Investment Results Exclusive of joint venture earnings from Medlock Oaks of $76,597 in 1997 and $236,118 in 1996, as well as the gains on sale in 1997 and 1996, and the valuation allowance also related to Medlock Oaks in 1996, aggregate operating results from real estate investments were approximately $203,000 and $831,000 for the first nine months of 1997 and 1996, respectively. The decline is primarily due to the sale of the Zehntel and United Exposition properties during 1996 which resulted in a decrease of approximately $608,000. Interest on cash equivalents and short-term investments decreased by approximately $22,000, or 25%, between the two nine-month periods primarily due to lower average invested balances, slightly offset by higher short-term yields. Cash flow provided by operating activities decreased by $757,000 between the first nine months of 1996 and 1997. This change was primarily caused by the Zehntel and United Exposition sales, which resulted in a net reduction of approximately $587,000 due to lower revenues and interest expense. Cash flow also declined due to a decrease in cash distributions from Medlock Oaks, along with an increase in working capital items. Portfolio Expenses General and administrative expenses primarily consist of real estate appraisal, legal, accounting, printing and servicing agent fees. These expenses decreased approximately $20,000, or 21%, for the first nine months of 1997 as compared to the same period in 1996, primarily due to decreases in appraisal and accounting 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 between the two nine-month periods due to the decrease in distributable cash flow.
