Part I, Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations COPs represents an assignment by the issuing general partners of some, but not all, of their rights to participate in the profits, losses, and gains of, and to receive distributions from, Burger King Limited Partnership I ("BK-I") and Burger King Limited Partnership III ("BK-III") (BK-I and BK-III are collectively referred to herein as the "Partnerships"). Each of the Partnerships is a New York limited partnership. The issuing general partners are BK I Realty Inc. ("GP-I"), which is the general partner of BK-I; and BK III Restaurants Inc. ("GP-III"), which is the general partner of BK-III (collectively, the "General Partners"). Each of the General Partners is a New York corporation. Each COPs unit consists of one BK-I COPs unit and one BK-III COPs unit. COPs commenced operations on January 17, 1986, and the COPs units were assigned as of December 1, 1985. The Partnerships were formed to acquire and hold Burger Kingr restaurants (the "Properties"), including the buildings and, in some cases, the underlying land. The Properties are net leased to franchisees of Burger King Corporation ("BKC"). The General Partners do not engage in the sale of goods or services. The General Partners' only assets are their respective investments in the Partnerships. GP-I has had discussions with a number of institutions and other third parties interested in purchasing BK-I's nine remaining Properties. However, an environmental issue at one of BK-I's Properties located in Greenfield, Wisconsin (the "Greenfield Property") has delayed BK-I's efforts to complete a sale of the remaining Properties. BK-I had previously proposed site-specific clean-up standards for the Greenfield Property to the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (the "WDNR"), whose response has taken significantly longer than originally anticipated. In light of the unanticipated lengthy delay, GP-I has decided to commence marketing the Properties in the second quarter of 1997 for a bulk sale to a single purchaser. Upon the sale of the Properties, GP-I intends to distribute the net sales proceeds in accordance with the terms of BK-I's Partnership Agreement. While GP-I is hopeful that a sale of the Properties can be completed during 1997, there can be no assurance that such efforts will be successful. GP-I believes that the potential environmental remediation costs associated with the Greenfield Property should not exceed approximately $300,000 and, therefore, in accordance with BK-I's Partnership Agreement, such amount has been set aside from BK-I's net cash flow from operations to fund these costs. If the proposed site-specific standards are approved by the WDNR prior to any sale of the Properties, it is expected that any of such reserves spent on the environmental remediation should be recovered from the proceeds of the eventual sale of the Greenfield Property. Therefore, any remediation costs incurred prior to a sale of the Greenfield Property will be capitalized and included in the carrying value of the Greenfield Property. Alternatively, if the sale occurs prior to the receipt of such approval, it is likely that any buyer will attribute a discount to the value of the Greenfield Property in determining an acceptable purchase price. GP-I believes that BK-I should have sufficient assets with which to pay any potential remediation costs on the Greenfield Property. In the unlikely event that BK-I does not have sufficient assets with which to pay such costs, GP-I is unaware of any Federal or State of Wisconsin environmental law potentially imposing any personal liability on the unitholders of BK-I for their pro-rata share of BK-I's remediation costs. Therefore, except as otherwise provided for in BK-I's Partnership Agreement, unitholders of BK-I may be liable for BK-I's obligations only to the extent of their respective capital contributions. GP-III has decided to commence marketing BK-III's remaining 23 Properties in the second quarter of 1997 for a bulk sale to a single purchaser. While GP-III is hopeful that a sale of the Properties can be completed during 1997, there can be no assurance that such efforts will be successful. Until all of BK-III's remaining Properties are sold, BK-III intends to continue operating the Properties and will distribute cash flow from operations to the partners in accordance with the terms of BK-III's Partnership Agreement. As a result of BK-I's and BK-III's intention to pursue a sale of their respective Properties, the Properties have been reclassified on the Partnership's respective balance sheets as real estate held for sale and are carried at the lower of cost or fair value less any estimated costs to sell the Properties, including any estimated environmental remediation costs. At March 31, 1997, GP-I's investment in BK-I was $(81,673) and GP-III's investment in BK-III was $(6,178), reflecting distributions in excess of equity in earnings plus the initial investments. COPs Holders receive their pro rata share of the cash distributions assigned by GP-III on a quarterly basis and their pro rata share of the cash distributions assigned by GP-I on an annual basis in accordance with the respective Partnership Agreements. A quarterly cash distribution in the amount of $3.93 per Unit, representing COPs Holders' share of BK-III's cash flow from operations for the first quarter of 1997, is anticipated to be paid on or about May 31, 1997. Including this scheduled distribution, COPs Holders have received total cash distributions of $976.12 per original $1,000 Unit since the inception of COPs. This total includes distributions of net cash flow from operations in the amount of $768.04 per Unit and distributions of net proceeds from the sales of Properties in the amount of $208.08 per Unit. Distributions of net sales proceeds represent returns of capital which have reduced the size of each Unit from $1,000 to $791.92. Results of Operations The results of operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 1997 are primarily attributable to the General Partners' investment in the Partnerships. For the three-month period ended March 31, 1997, GP-I generated a net loss of ($1,225), compared to net income of $6,296 for the corresponding period in 1996. The decrease is primarily attributable to an $8,375 increase in general and administrative expenses incurred by COPs. During the 1997 period, certain expenses incurred by unaffiliated third-party service providers in servicing GP-I, which were voluntarily absorbed by affiliates of GP-I in prior periods, were reimbursed to its affiliates. For the three-month period ended March 31, 1997, GP-III generated net income of $7,082, compared to net income of $13,722 for the corresponding period in 1996. The decrease is primarily attributable to an $8,375 increase in general and administrative expenses incurred by COPs. During the 1997 period, certain expenses incurred by unaffiliated third party service providers in servicing GP-III, which were voluntarily absorbed by affiliates of GP-III in prior periods, were reimbursed to its affiliates. Same-store sales for BK-I's remaining nine Properties were $2,562,430 for the three-month period ended March 31, 1997, representing a small decrease of approximately 1% when compared to sales of $2,600,630 for the same period in 1996. The decrease in same-store sales is partly attributable to a decrease in sales at one of BK-I's Properties during the first quarter of 1997 as a result of construction which has temporarily impacted the traffic flow at that site. Same-store sales for BK-III's remaining 23 Properties were $5,624,897 for the three-month period ended March 31, 1997, representing an increase of approximately 3% when compared to sales of $5,452,827 for the same period in 1996. Rental income received by the Partnerships from the franchisees at the Properties is equal to the greater of a minimum annual base rent or 8.5% of the Properties' annual food and beverage sales. Therefore, fluctuations in a Property's sales volume can result in an increase or decrease in rent received by the Partnerships from an individual Property.
