Industry Segment Information: ---------------------------- The Partnership's operations consist of the investment in and the leasing of industrial and commercial real estate. For the three-month periods ended March 31, 1996 and 1997, the Partnership earned its total operating revenues (rental income plus interest income from financing leases) from the following lease obligors: 1996 % 1997 % ---- --- ---- --- Prefinish Metals Incorporated $ 359,218 31% $ 362,241 33% The Gap, Inc. 306,498 27 306,498 27 IMO Industries, Inc. 211,685 19 196,437 18 Unisource Worldwide, Inc. 82,370 7 82,370 7 Broomfield Tech Center Corporation 75,034 7 75,034 7 Kobacker Stores, Inc. 75,885 7 66,829 6 Winn-Dixie Stores, Inc. 25,600 2 25,600 2 ---------- --- ---------- --- $1,136,290 100% $1,115,009 100% ========== === ========== === Note 5. Real Estate Held for Sale: ------------------------- On September 17, 1996, the Partnership entered into a purchase and sale agreement for the sale of the Partnership's property in Louisville, Kentucky, leased to Winn-Dixie Stores, Inc. ("Winn-Dixie") for $1,100,000, less selling costs, which includes a 5% brokerage commission. Completion of the transaction is subject to completion of certain due diligence procedures and the ability of the buyer to obtain financing by May 15, 1997. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the sale of the property will be completed. The Winn-Dixie lease provides annual rentals of $102,000 and is scheduled to expire in December 1999. Note 6. Property Leased to IMO Industries, Inc.: --------------------------------------- One of the Partnership's leases with IMO Industries, Inc. ("IMO") had been scheduled to terminate in March 1996. The Partnership granted IMO an extension of three months to enable IMO to meet its lease obligation to return the property in suitable condition. As IMO did not satisfy such obligation, the Partnership refused to release IMO from the lease and continued to collect monthly rental payments from IMO. On February 12, 1997, the Partnership and IMO entered into an agreement which released IMO from the lease. Under the agreement, IMO returned the property in "as is" condition to the Partnership, and paid $485,766, representing estimated maintenance and repair costs and construction management fees, into an escrow account held by an affiliate for the Partnership. Funds in escrow will only be released under certain conditions including, but not limited to, the payment for repairs and maintenance on the property. Any excess funds will be released to the Partnership. Rents from the terminated IMO lease contributed annual revenues of approximately $91,000. The Partnership's lease with IMO for an adjacent property currently provides for annual rent of $687,750 and has a lease term through 2002. -6- CORPORATE PROPERTY ASSOCIATES (a California limited partnership) Item 2. - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF OPERATIONS ----------------------------------------------- Results of Operations: - ---------------------- Net income for the three months ended March 31, 1997 increased $72,000 as compared to net income for the three months ended March 31, 1996. The increase was primarily due to a decrease in interest expense. The decrease in interest expense was due to refinancing the limited recourse mortgage loan collateralized by the property leased to The Gap, Inc. in April 1996 at a lower interest rate and the effect of a $100,000 mortgage loan prepayment in the fourth quarter of 1996 on one of the IMO Industries, Inc. properties. Such prepayment was paid with funds which were released from an escrow account and assigned to the IMO mortgage lender. Lease revenues for the three month periods were stable. The slight decrease in revenues was due to lower rentals from Kobacker Stores, Inc. as a result of selling two Kobacker properties to the lessee in 1996 and the termination of the lease on one of the IMO properties in February 1997. The decrease in annual cash flow (rent less debt service) from the Kobacker properties is approximately $3,000 as a reduction in debt service resulting from using proceeds from the sale to prepay a portion of the Kobacker mortgage loan offset most of the decrease in Kobacker in cash flow resulting from lower rent from Kobacker. Annual cash flow from the IMO property was approximately $91,000. Financial Condition: - -------------------- There has been no material change in the Partnership's financial condition since December 31, 1996. Cash flow from operations of $724,000 was sufficient to fund distributions of $356,000 and $368,000 of total scheduled mortgage principal payments of $437,000. In the event that the sale of the Partnership's property leased to Winn-Dixie Stores, Inc. is completed, annual cash flow would decrease by $102,400. Anticipated sale proceeds from such proposed sale is approximately $1,100,000, less selling costs. Completion of the sale is subject to the ability of the purchaser to obtain financing. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the sale of the property will be completed. The Partnership released IMO from its lease on one property in February 1997 and in exchange, IMO returned the property in an "as is" condition and paid $486,000 into an escrow account held by an affiliate of the Partnership. The escrow account is being used to fund maintenance and repair costs and construction management fees. Any unused funds will be released to the Partnership. The General Partners are currently investigating ways to provide liquidity for limited partners on a tax-effective basis. -7- CORPORATE PROPERTY ASSOCIATES (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 March 31, 1997, the Partnership was not required to file any reports on Form 8-K. -8- CORPORATE PROPERTY ASSOCIATES (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.
