Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified in order to conform to the current year's presentation. The following significant event has occurred subsequent to fiscal year 1996 which requires disclosure in this interim report per Regulation S-X, Rule 10-01, Paragraph (a)(5): The Partnership has entered into a non-binding letter of intent ("LOI") with a third party for the sale of the Partnership's remaining nine properties (the "Properties") for a purchase price of $6,400,000. Any sale of the Properties to this potential buyer is subject to, among other things, the potential buyer's review and inspection of the Properties and the execution of a definitive contract of sale.

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified in order to conform to the current year's presentation. On June 12, 1997, Burger King Limited Partnership III sold a property located in Frankfort, Kentucky to the franchisee operating such property for net proceeds of $858,339 resulting in a gain of $559,519. The Partnership has entered into a non-binding letter of intent ("LOI") with a third party for the sale of the Partnership's remaining 22 properties (the "Properties") for a purchase price of $16,000,000. Any sale of the Properties to this potential buyer is subject to, among other things, the potential buyer's review and inspection of the Properties and the execution of a definitive contract of sale. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the Properties will be sold to this potential buyer or, if sold to it, that the actual purchase price will not be renegotiated. BK I Realty Inc. BK III Restaurants Inc. Part I, Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Liquidity and Capital Resources 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. On June 12, 1997, BK-III completed the sale of a Property located in Frankfort, Kentucky (the "Frankfort Property") to the franchisee operating such property. COPs' portion of the net proceeds from this sale were distributed along with the second quarter distribution on July 30, 1997. GP-I and GP-III have held discussions with a number of third parties interested in purchasing the remaining Properties of BK-I and BK-III. During the second quarter of 1997, the services of Jones Lang Wootton, a nationally recognized real estate broker, were engaged to assist in efforts to market the remaining properties for sale. During the third quarter, the GP-I and GP- III received competitive bids from a number of third parties. Following an evaluation of these bids, BK-I and BK-III each entered into a non-binding letter of intent ("LOI") with a third party for the sale of its properties for a purchase price of $6,400,000 for BK-I's nine properties, and $16,000,000 for BK- III's 22 properties. Any sale of either partnership's properties to this potential buyer is subject to, among other things, the potential buyer's review and inspection of the Properties and the execution of a definitive contract of sale. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the Properties will be sold to this potential buyer or, if sold to it, that the actual purchase price will not be renegotiated. Pursuant to the terms of the respective partnership agreements, a majority in interest of the limited partners in BK-I and BK-III have the right to disapprove of the sale of all or substantially all of each partnership's assets in a single sale. In anticipation of a sale, proxies will be mailed to the limited partners of each partnership notifying them of their right to call a meeting to vote on the sale. As previously reported, an environmental issue has been identified at a Property located in Greenfield, Wisconsin (the "Greenfield Property") owned by BK-I. 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 Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources prior to the sale of the Greenfield Property, 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. Until all of BK-I's and BK-III's remaining Properties are sold, both BK-I and BK-III will continue to operate the Properties and will distribute net cash flow from operations to the partners. Upon the completion of the sale of all of BK-I's and BK-III's Properties, GP-I and GP-III intend to distribute the net sales proceeds and liquidate the partnerships in accordance with the terms of their respective partnership agreements. In accordance with the terms of COPs' partnership agreement, a portion of the net proceeds of the sale of these Properties will be distributed to COPs Holders. Although GP-I and GP-III are hopeful that a sale of all of the Properties can be completed during 1997, there can be no assurances that such efforts will be successful within this time frame, or that any particular price will be obtained. 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 Partnerships' respective balance sheets as real estate held for sale and are carried at the lower of cost or fair value less any estimated selling costs, including any estimated environmental remediation costs. At September 30, 1997, GP-I's investment in BK-I was $(68,082) and GP-III's investment in BK-III was $(8,713), 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. On October 30, 1997, COPs paid a quarterly cash distribution in the amount of $5.29 per Unit, which represented COPs' share of BK-III's net cash flow from operations for the third quarter of 1997. Including this distribution, COPs Unitholders have received total cash distributions of $988.57 per original $1,000.00 Unit since the inception of COPs. This total includes distributions of net cash flow from operations in the amount of $778.26 per Unit and distributions of net proceeds from the sales of the Properties in the amount of $210.31 per Unit. Distributions of net sales proceeds represent returns of capital which have reduced the size of each Unit from $1,000.00 to $789.69. Results of Operations The results of operations for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1997 are primarily attributable to the General Partners' respective investments in the Partnerships. For the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1997, GP-I generated net losses of $1,025 and a $1,325, respectively, compared to net income of $8,811 and $27,768 for the corresponding periods in 1996. The change from net income to net losses in both periods is mainly attributable to an increase in general and administrative expenses, and for the nine-month period, is also a result of the sale of a Property located in Wichita, Kansas in the fourth quarter of 1996. For the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1997, GP-III generated net income of $6,248 and $27,220, respectively, compared to $19,398 and $58,106 for the corresponding periods in 1996. The decreases in both periods are primarily attributable to an increase in general and administrative expenses. The decrease for the three-month period is also due to the June 1997 sale of the Frankfort Property. Part II Other Information Items 1-5 Not applicable. Item 6 Exhibits and reports on Form 8-K.
