Discontinued Operations: The Partnership sold its food service business in December 1995. Operating results for the food service business in Jupiter, Florida for the six-month period ended June 30, 1995 is summarized as follows: Sales $ 2,601,269 Cost of goods sold (752,524) Other operating expenses (1,408,877) ----------- Food service operating income $ 439,868 =========== -6- CORPORATE PROPERTY ASSOCIATES 7 - a California limited partnership Item 2. - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF OPERATIONS Results of Operations: Income from continuing operations increased $204,000 and $579,000 for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 1996 as compared with the similar periods ended June 30, 1995. The increase for the six-month period was due to higher earnings from the hotel operation and decreases in depreciation, interest and general and administrative expenses, and were partially offset by an increase in property expenses. Lease revenues for the comparable periods were stable. Hotel earnings benefited from a 12% increase in the average room rate which more than offset a decrease in the occupancy rate from 79% to 75%. The decrease in depreciation expense was primarily attributable to the December 1995 sale of a property in Jupiter, Florida. The decrease in interest expense was due to the satisfaction of the mortgage loan on the Advanced System Applications, Inc. ("ASA") property which fully amortized in March 1996 and the satisfaction of the Jupiter, Florida property mortgage at the time of sale. The decrease in general and administrative expenses was due to higher accruals for partnership level state franchise taxes in 1995. The increase in income from continuing operations for the three-month period was due to the same factors as for the six-month period; however, earnings from the hotel operations were stable. The Partnership's lease with the United States Postal Service (the "Postal Service") at the ASA property commenced May 1, 1996. Annual rent from the Postal Service lease will be approximately $243,000 before operating costs; however, until June 1997, the Partnership is obligated to share one-third of Postal Service rentals, net of expenses, with ASA in lieu of reducing ASA's rent for relinquishing its space. As a result of the full amortization of the ASA loan, the Partnership's annual cash flow will increase by approximately $1,344,000 through June 1997 when the remaining term of the ASA lease expires. Financial Condition: There has been no material change in the Partnership's financial condition since December 31, 1995. Cash reserves increased by $841,000, primarily due to proceeds of $618,000 that was received from the sale of two properties. Cash flow from operations of $2,497,000 was sufficient to pay cash distributions of $1,732,000 and scheduled mortgage principal payments of $449,000. The Partnership currently has sufficient cash reserves to fund a remaining $129,000 tenant improvement allowance for the Postal Service and other costs which may be necessary to retrofit the ASA property for multi-tenant use. A $1,000,000 mortgage balloon payment on a loan, which is collateralized by the property leased to Winn-Dixie Stores, Inc., is due in September 1996. In the event the Partnership chooses not to seek refinancing, such payment could be funded from cash reserves; however, it is currently anticipated that the loan will be refinanced. -7- CORPORATE PROPERTY ASSOCIATES 7 - 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 June 30, 1996 the Partnership was not required to file any reports on Form 8-K. -8- CORPORATE PROPERTY ASSOCIATES 7 - 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.
