III NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. THE PARTNERSHIP AND ITS SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES: Captec Franchise Capital Partners L.P. III (the "Partnership"), a Delaware limited partnership, was formed on February 18, 1994 for the purpose of acquiring income-producing commercial real properties and equipment leased on a "triple net" basis, primarily to operators of national and regional franchised businesses. The general partners of the Partnership are Captec Franchise Capital Corporation III (the "Corporation"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Captec Financial Group, Inc. ("Captec"), and Patrick L. Beach, an individual, hereinafter collectively referred to as the Sponsor. Patrick L. Beach is also the Chairman of the Board of Directors, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation and Captec. The general partners have each contributed $100 in cash to the Partnership as a capital contribution. The Partnership commenced a public offering of limited partnership interests ("Units") on August 12, 1994. A minimum of 1,150 Units and a maximum of 20,000 Units, priced at $1,000 per Unit, were offered on a "best efforts, part or none" basis. The Partnership broke impound on January 24, 1995, at which time funds totaling $1,155,255 were released from escrow and the Partnership immediately commenced operations. At March 31, 1997, the Partnership had accepted subscriptions for the entire 20,000 Units, and funds totaling $20,000,000. Allocation of profits, losses and cash distributions from operations and cash distributions from sale or refinancing are made pursuant to the terms of the Partnership Agreement. Profits and losses from operations are allocated among the limited partners based upon the number of Units owned. In no event will the Sponsor be allocated less than one percent of profits and losses in any year. Following is a summary of the Partnership's significant accounting policies: A. RENTAL INCOME FROM OPERATING LEASES: The Partnership's operating leases have scheduled rent increases which occur at various dates throughout the lease terms. The Partnership recognizes the total rent, as stipulated by the lease agreement, as income on a straight-line basis over the term of each lease. To the extent rental income on the straight-line basis exceeds rents billable per the lease agreement, an amount is recorded as unbilled rent. B. LAND AND BUILDING ON OPERATING LEASES: Land and buildings subject to operating leases are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Buildings are depreciated on the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives (40 years). 5 8 CAPTEC FRANCHISE CAPITAL PARTNERS L.P. III NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. THE PARTNERSHIP AND ITS SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES, CONTINUED: C. NET INVESTMENT IN FINANCING LEASES: Leases classified as financing leases are stated as the sum of the minimum lease payments plus the unguaranteed residual value accruing to the benefit of the lessor, less unearned income. Unearned income is amortized to income over the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of return on the net investment in the lease. D. NET INCOME PER LIMITED PARTNERSHIP INTEREST: Net income per limited partnership interest is calculated using the weighted average number of limited partnership units outstanding during the period and the limited partners' allocable share of the net income. E. INCOME TAXES: No provision for income taxes is included in the accompanying financial statements, as the Partnership's results of operations are passed through to the partners for inclusion in their respective income tax returns. F. ESTIMATES: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 2. DISTRIBUTIONS: Cash flows of the Partnership are allocated ninety-nine percent (99%) to the limited partners and one percent (1%) to the Sponsor, except that the Sponsor's share is subordinated to a ten percent (10%) preferred return to the limited partners. Net sale or refinancing proceeds of the Partnership will be allocated ninety percent (90%) to the limited partners and ten percent (10%) to the Sponsor, except that the Sponsor's share will be subordinated to a eleven percent (11%) preferred return plus return of the original contributions to the limited partners. The Partnership distributed approximately $503,000 during the three month period ended March 31, 1997, representing quarterly distributions of cash flow from operations for the quarter ended December 31, 1996 and elective monthly distributions for the current quarter. 6 9 CAPTEC FRANCHISE CAPITAL PARTNERS L.P. III NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 3. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS AND AGREEMENTS: Organization and offering expenses, excluding selling commissions, were initially paid by the General Partners and/or their Affiliates and were reimbursed by the Partnership in an amount equal to up to three percent (3%) of the gross proceeds of the offering (less any amounts paid directly by the Partnership). In addition, the Sponsors and/or their affiliates were paid a non-accountable expense allowance by the Partnership in an amount equal to two percent (2%) of the gross proceeds of the offering. There were no organizational and offering costs paid during the three month period ended March 31, 1997. The Partnership also paid to Participating Dealers, including affiliates of the general partners, selling commissions in an amount equal to eight percent (8%) of the purchase price of all Units placed by them directly. There were no commissions paid or incurred during the three month period ended March 31, 1997. The Sponsor had also guaranteed payment of organization and offering expenses which exceed 13%, including selling commissions, of the gross proceeds of the offering. An acquisition fee is charged, not to exceed the lesser of: (i) four percent (4%) of gross proceeds plus an additional .0624% for each 1% of indebtedness incurred in acquiring properties and/or equipment but in no event will acquisition fees exceed five percent (5%) of the aggregate purchase prices of properties and equipment; or (ii) compensation customarily charged in arm's length transactions by others rendering similar services. There were no acquisition fees paid by the Partnership during the three month period ended March 31, 1997. The Partnership has entered into an asset management agreement with the Sponsor and its affiliates, whereby the Sponsor provides various property and equipment management services for the Partnership. A subordinated asset management fee is charged, in an amount equal to one percent (1%) of the gross rental revenues derived from the properties and equipment. Payment of the asset management fee is subordinated to receipt by the limited partners of annual distributions equal to a cumulative, noncompounded return of ten percent (10%) per annum on their adjusted invested capital. There were $24,433 of subordinated asset management fees paid to the Sponsor during the three month period ended March 31, 1997. 7 10 CAPTEC FRANCHISE CAPITAL PARTNERS L.P. III NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 3. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS AND AGREEMENTS, CONTINUED: An equipment liquidation fee limited to the lesser of three percent (3%) of the sales price or customary fees for similar services will be paid in conjunction with asset liquidation services. There were no equipment liquidations during the three month period ended March 31, 1997. The Partnership Agreement provides for the Sponsor to receive a real estate liquidation fee limited to the lesser of three percent (3%) of the gross sales price or fifty percent (50%) of the customary real estate commissions in the event of a real estate liquidation. This fee is payable only after the limited partners have received distributions equal to a cumulative, noncompounded return of eleven percent (11%) per annum on their adjusted invested capital plus distributions of sale or refinancing proceeds equal to 100% of their original contributions. There were no real estate liquidations during the three month period ended March 31, 1997. The Partnership has agreed to indemnify the Sponsor and their affiliates against certain costs paid in settlement of claims which might be sustained by them in connection with the Partnership. Such indemnification is limited to the assets of the Partnership and not the limited partners. 4. LAND AND BUILDING SUBJECT TO OPERATING LEASES: The net investment in operating leases as of March 31, 1997 is comprised of the following: Land $ 5,127,875 Building and improvements 7,812,917 Construction draws on properties (including land of $555,000) 1,316,668 ----------- 14,257,460 Less accumulated depreciation (197,080) ----------- Total $14,060,380 =========== As indicated above, at March 31, 1997 the Partnership had made investments in properties under construction. All construction draws are subject to the terms of a standard lease agreement with the Partnership which fully obligates the tenant to the long-term lease of all amounts advanced under construction draws. At March 31, 1997, the Partnership had approximately $339,000 of unfunded commitments on properties under construction. The following is a schedule of future minimum lease payments to be received on the operating leases as of March 31, 1997. This schedule excludes additional rents due under unfunded commitments on properties under construction which are estimated to be equal to an additional $553,000 in aggregate. 8 11 CAPTEC FRANCHISE CAPITAL PARTNERS L.P.

SUBSEQUENT EVENT: In April 1997, the Partnership made a distribution to its limited partners totaling approximately $472,000, which represented the aggregate quarterly distribution of cash flow from operations for the quarter ended March 31, 1997 in the amount of $540,000 less $68,000 of elective monthly distributions previously distributed during that quarter. 9 12 CAPTEC FRANCHISE CAPITAL PARTNERS L.P. III PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL COMMITMENTS: The Partnership commenced the Offering of up to 20,000 limited partnership units ("Units") registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended by means of a Registration Statement, filed on form SB-2 which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 12, 1994. The Partnership accepted subscriptions for the Minimum Number of Units on January 24, 1995 and immediately commenced operations. The Offering reached final funding as of August 12, 1996, having accepted subscriptions for the entire 20,000 Units and funds totaling $20,000,000. At March 31, 1997, the Partnership had invested in eleven net leased real estate properties and ten equipment packages in amounts totaling approximately $17,617,000, including capitalized acquisition fees. The Partnership has committed additional funds of approximately $339,000 for the final construction draw on the Golden Corral Restaurant located in Lakeland, Florida. In April 1997, the Partnership provided funding in the amount of $241,765 for the re-imaging of the Kettle Restaurant located in Virginia Beach, Virginia to a Denny's Restaurant ( the "Virginia Beach Property"). The Virginia Beach Property is currently being operated as a Denny's Restaurant. The Partnership had cash totaling $367,337 as of March 31, 1997, none of which is available for investment. The Sponsor has agreed to lend moneys to the Partnership, to the extent necessary for the Partnership to fulfill the existing investment commitments described above, until such time as the Partnership obtains the leverage described below. During 1997, the Partnership expects to obtain leverage of up to 30% of the sum of gross proceeds and the aggregate amount of Partnership indebtedness secured by Partnership assets (approximately 35% of the aggregate purchase prices of the Partnership's assets). Such leverage, when incurred, will provide additional funds to be used by the Partnership to purchase additional income-producing commercial Properties and Equipment which will be leased on a "triple net" basis primarily to operators of nationally franchised fast-food, family style and dinner house restaurants as well as other franchised service-type businesses. The Property leases are expected to provide for a base minimum annual rent, with provisions for fixed increases on specific dates or indexation of rent to indices such as the Consumer Price Index and/or percentage rents. Equipment will be leased only pursuant to Full Payout Leases. Presently, the Partnership does not have a financing commitment for this leverage. During the three month period ending March 31, 1997, the Partnership did not acquire any additional properties. The number of Properties and/or the amount of Equipment to be acquired will depend upon the additional debt. 10 13 Once substantially all of the Partnership's funds have been applied as intended, the Partnership expects to require limited amounts of liquid assets since the form of lease which it intends to use for its Properties and Equipment will require lessees to pay all taxes and assessments, maintenance and repairs and insurance premiums, including casualty insurance. The general partners expect that the cash flow to be generated by the Partnership's Properties and Equipment will be adequate to pay operating expenses and provide distributions to Limited Partners. The General Partners are not aware of any known trends or uncertainties, other than national economic conditions, which reasonably may be expected to have a material impact, favorable or unfavorable, on liquidity and capital resources of the Partnership other than those referred to herein and in the Partnership's Prospectus. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS: For the three month period ended March 31, 1997 the Partnership earned revenues totaling approximately $507,000, compared to approximately $211,000 for the corresponding period of the preceding year. The increase in year-to-date revenues over the prior year's period (140%) was due to the effect of the Partnership's additional investment in income producing triple net leased real estate properties and full payout equipment leases. For the three month period ended March 31, 1997, the Partnership incurred expenses totaling approximately $94,000, compared to $36,000 for the corresponding period of the preceding year. The increase in year-to-date expenses over the prior year's period (159%) was due to the same effects which produced the increase in revenues. This growth caused corresponding increases in depreciation expense (due to the growth in depreciable assets) and general and administrative expenses. For the three month period ended March 31, 1997, the Partnership earned net income of approximately $412,000 compared to approximately $175,000 for the corresponding period of the previous year. The increase in year-to-date net income over the prior year's period (136%) was primarily due to the increase in revenues discussed above. Based upon the results of operations for the three month period ended March 31, 1997, the Partnership distributed to its limited partners a total of $540,000 representing cash flow from operations for that period. These amounts were distributed as follows: $35,805 paid in February 1997 and $32,340 paid in March 1997 to investors that have elected to receive monthly distributions and $471,855 paid in April 1997 to all investors. On a comparative basis, the Partnership distributed to its limited partners a total of $254,000 for the corresponding three month period of the preceding year. The increase in distributions over the prior year's period (113%) was due to the increase in net income discussed above and the reduction in net investment in financing leases (i.e. capital returned on equipment lease investments) resulting from the growth in the equipment lease portfolio. TENANT DEFAULT: The Partnership has invested in a financing lease, which lease has a net investment value of $241,765 as of March 31, 1997. The lessee under this lease, Kenny Rogers Roasters of Arizona, Inc., has defaulted on the lease agreement due to non-payment of rents. As of March 31, 1997, the Partnership is owed $59,615 of rents past due from February 1, 1996 and 11 14 forward. Presently, this default has caused the suspension of cash flows from rents to the Partnership in an amount equal to $4,258 per month, which amount represents 2.3% of the Partnership's aggregate current monthly rental income (excluding additional rent which may be received from any future acquisitions). On May 1, 1997, the Partnership executed a lease agreement with Captec-Roasters, L.L.C., a Michigan limited liability company DBA Kenny Rogers Roasters ("Captec-Roasters"). The equipment is being used in the operation of the Kenny Rogers Roasters restaurant located at 1949 E. Camelback, Suite 160, Phoenix, Arizona ("Arizona KRR Equipment"). The address of Captec-Roasters is 899 W. Cypress Creek Road. Suite 500, Ft. Lauderdale, Florida 33309. Captec Financial Group, Inc., an affiliate of the Managing General Partner of the Partnership, is a member of Captec-Roasters. Roasters Corp., a Florida corporation and the franchisor of Kenny Rogers Roasters Restaurants, is also a member of Captec-Roasters and is responsible for the operation of the restaurant. The lease dated May 1, 1997 is the Partnership's standard form of equipment lease (the "KRR Lease"). Under the terms of the KRR Lease, Captec-Roasters is responsible for all expenses related to the Arizona KRR Equipment including taxes, insurance, maintenance and repair costs. The KRR Lease term is 70 months. The annual rent for the first 12 months of the KRR Lease is $6,869 and is $4,849 for the 58 months thereafter. At the end of the KRR Lease term, upon at least 90 days prior irrevocable notice of the Partnership, Captec-Roasters shall have the option to purchase all of the Arizona KRR Equipment for one dollar $1.00. 12 15 CAPTEC FRANCHISE CAPITAL PARTNERS L.P.
