Note 3. Transactions with Related Parties: For the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1996, the Partnership incurred property management fees of $26,093 and $80,830, respectively, and general and administrative expense reimbursements of $22,402 and $84,556, respectively. For the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1997, the Partnership incurred property management fees of $29,687 and $88,685, respectively, and general and administrative expense reimbursements of $61,621 and $150,985, respectively. Management believes that ultimate payment of a preferred return to the General Partners of $18,099, based upon cumulative proceeds of sales of assets, is reasonably possible but not probable, as defined in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 5, and no accrual for such preferred return has been reflected in the accompanying Financial Statements. The Partnership, in conjunction with certain affiliates, is a participant in an agreement for the purpose of renting and occupying office space. Under the agreement, the Partnership pays its proportionate share of rent and other costs of occupancy. Net expenses incurred for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1997 were $85,156 and $68,402, respectively. -5- 7 CORPORATE PROPERTY ASSOCIATES 6 - a California limited partnership NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) - (CONTINUED) Note 4. Industry Segment Information: The Partnership's operations consist primarily of the investment in and the leasing of industrial and commercial real estate and the operation of three hotel properties. For the nine-month periods ended September 30, 1996 and 1997, the Partnership earned its total real estate lease revenues (rental income plus interest income from financing leases) as follows: 1996 % 1997 % ---------- --- ---------- --- Thermadyne Holdings Corporation (assigned by Stoody Deloro Stellite, Inc.) $1,675,643 20% $1,675,643 19% AP Parts Manufacturing, Inc. 1,292,786 15 1,377,401 15 Peerless Chain Company 1,184,454 14 1,281,440 14 AutoZone, Inc. 1,006,503 12 1,086,651 12 Kinney Shoe Corporation 504,570 6 723,706 8 Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. 625,771 7 668,347 8 Anthony's Manufacturing Company, Inc. 657,000 8 657,000 7 Motorola, Inc. 405,000 5 405,000 5 Harcourt General Corporation 350,624 4 350,624 4 Yale Security, Inc. 240,898 3 344,421 4 Lockheed Martin Corporation 226,833 3 232,500 3 Winn-Dixie Stores, Inc. 127,800 2 127,800 1 Folger Adam Company 68,954 1 ---------- --- ---------- --- $8,366,836 100% $8,930,533 100% ========== === ========== === Operating results of the three hotels for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 1996 and 1997 are summarized as follows: 1996 1997 ----------- ----------- Revenue $ 3,654,370 $ 3,795,820 Fees paid to hotel management company (88,724) (102,442) Other operating expenses (2,669,193) (2,668,582) ----------- ----------- Hotel operating income $ 896,453 $ 1,024,796 =========== =========== Note 5. Consent Solicitation: On October 15, 1997, Carey Diversified LLC ("CD(SM)") filed a Consent Solicitation Statement/Prospectus ("consent solicitation") with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. The General Partners are proposing that the Limited Partners of the nine CPA(R) limited partnerships approve a transaction in which each CPA(R) limited partnership would be merged with a subsidiary partnership of CD(SM), of which CD(SM) is the general partner. As described in the consent solicitation, each limited partner would have the option of either exchanging his or her limited partnership units for an interest in CD(SM) ("Listed Shares") or to retain a limited partnership interest in the subsidiary partnership ("Subsidiary Partnership Units"). If the holders of a majority of the outstanding limited partnership units of the Partnership consent to the transaction, the merger of the Partnership with the corresponding subsidiary partnership of CD(SM) may be consummated. If the transaction is consummated, the General Partners will exchange a portion of their general partnership interests in exchange for Listed Shares. The transaction will not occur unless the CPA(R) Partnerships approving the transaction represent at least $200,000,000 in Total Exchange Value, as defined. There is no assurance that the holders of limited partnership units of the Partnership will consent to the transaction or that the transaction will occur. -6- 8 CORPORATE PROPERTY ASSOCIATES 6 - a California limited partnership NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) - (CONTINUED) If the transaction is completed, the Listed Shares will be listed and publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange. Subsidiary Partnership Units will provide substantially the same economic interest and legal rights as those of a limited partnership unit in the Partnership, but will not be listed on a securities exchange. Conversion of limited partnership units to Listed Shares or Subsidiary Partnership Units will not result in a taxable event to the limited partners. The risk factors and benefits relating to the proposed transaction are described in the consent solicitation. The General Partners, as well as all the Directors of the Corporate General Partners of the CPA(R) Partnerships, have unanimously approved the proposed transaction. -7- 9 CORPORATE PROPERTY ASSOCIATES 6 - a California limited partnership Item 2. - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF OPERATIONS Results of Operations: Net income for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1997 increased by $115,000 and $719,000, respectively, as compared with net income for the similar periods ended September 30, 1996. Excluding nonrecurring other income of $73,000 in the prior year's three-month period, income for the current three-month period would have increased by $188,000 The increases were due to increases in lease revenues and earnings from the Partnership's hotel operations, and decreases in interest expense. The increase in lease revenues was due to scheduled rent increases becoming effective between May 1996 and January 1997, the commencement of the lease with Yale Security, Inc. in March 1996 and higher percentage rents from AutoZone, Inc. Solely as a result of the scheduled rent increases, annual cash flow increased by $661,000. Year-to-date revenues for the Petoskey hotel increased by 10%, while the revenues of the Alpena and Livonia hotels increased by 2% and 3%, respectively. The increase in earnings for the Petoskey hotel was due to an increase in the occupancy rate from 52% to 57% and a 3% increase in the average room rate. The occupancy rate of the Livonia hotel was unchanged. The increase in earnings resulted from a 10% increase in the average room rate. The occupancy rate for the Alpena hotel decreased by 1%. The average room rate at Alpena increased by 6%, continuing the trend observed in the second quarter. The earnings of the Alpena and Petoskey hotels are seasonal in nature, with most of their annual profit realized in the summer. The Livonia hotel's earnings are affected by the economic condition of the Detroit metropolitan area. The Livonia hotel has been successful in continuing to strengthen and increase the average room rate during the current economic cycle. The decrease in interest expense was due to the payoff of mortgage loans collateralized by the property leased to Winn-Dixie Stores, Inc. and Yale Security in 1996 and 1997, respectively, and the continuing amortization of the Partnership's limited recourse mortgage loans. Financial Condition: There has been no material change in the Partnership's financial condition since December 31, 1996. Cash flow from operations of $6,305,000 was sufficient to fund distributions to partners of $3,700,000, scheduled mortgage principal installments of $992,000 and replacement of furniture and fixtures at the hotel properties of $31,000. Since December 31, 1996, the Partnership used $1,872,000 to satisfy the limited recourse mortgage loan on the Yale Security property. A limited recourse mortgage loan on the Motorola property of $2,087,000 has continued to be extended on a short-term basis. The Partnership is also seeking to extend the maturity on the mortgage loan on the Livonia hotel property which matures in November 1997 and has an outstanding balance of $2,579,000. The Partnership believes that the prospects for refinancing both loans are favorable. Although the Partnership does not have sufficient cash available to pay off the loans, it has significant borrowing power on several unleveraged properties that could be financed to raise funds needed pay off any matured debt. The mortgage loan on the AutoZone properties is scheduled to mature in August 1998, at which time a balloon payment of $8,540,000 will be due. -8- 10 CORPORATE PROPERTY ASSOCIATES 6 - a California limited partnership Item 2. - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF OPERATIONS, Continued Financial Condition (continued): A purchase option of the properties leased to Anthony's Manufacturing Company, Inc. may be exercised by the lessee beginning February 1998. If exercised, the option price will be the greater of fair market value or $11,500,000, the amount that the Partnership paid to purchase the Anthony's properties. Annual cash flow from the Anthony's properties is $876,000. The Partnership has not received any indication from the lessee as to whether it intends to exercise the option. In connection with the Holiday Inn product improvement plan, the Partnership anticipates that it will be required to make certain improvements to the Livonia hotel property in order to retain its Holiday Inn affiliation. The amount required for such improvements is in the process of being determined. As more fully described in Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, the General Partners have distributed to Limited Partners a consent solicitation which proposes an exchange of limited partnership units for securities in a publicly-traded limited liability company. The exchange would not result in a taxable event to the limited partners, and the General Partners believe that this proposed transaction will provide limited partners with liquidity on a tax-effective basis. There is no assurance that the proposed transaction will be completed. -9- 11 CORPORATE PROPERTY ASSOCIATES 6 - a California limited partnership PART II Item 6. - EXHIBITS AND REPORTS ON FORM 8-K (a) Exhibits: None (b) Reports on Form 8-K: During the quarter ended September 30, 1997, the Partnership was not required to file any reports on Form 8-K. -10- 12 CORPORATE PROPERTY ASSOCIATES 6 - a California limited partnership SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned thereunto duly authorized.
