1.     

Capital Properties, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries,Tri-State Displays, Inc., Capital Terminal Company and Dunellen, LLC (collectively referred to as “the Company”) for many years operated in two segments, leasing and petroleum storage.  On December 20, 2016, the Company’s Board of Directors (“Board”) authorized the sale of the Company’s petroleum storage facility and related assets, including the Wilkesbarre Pier and petroleum transmission pipelines owned or controlled by the Company’s subsidiaries, Capital Terminal Company and Dunellen, LLC (“Petroleum Segment”), to Sprague Operating Resources, LLC, a subsidiary of Sprague Resources, LP (collectively referred to as “Sprague”) for $23 Million subject to certain adjustments. The Company concluded that the sale of the petroleum storage facility met the criteria of a discontinued operation in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and therefore the petroleum storage segment is reported as a discontinued operation for all periods presented.   On January 24, 2017, the Company and Sprague entered into a definitive purchase and sale agreement (the “Sale Agreement”).  The sale closed on February 10, 2017.  See Note 10.

The Board’s decision to authorize the sale to Sprague, which had been exclusively leasing the petroleum storage facility and related assets since May 1, 2014, was based on an evaluation of the facility’s economic future as solely a distillate terminal and the significant capital investment and substantial risk related to converting the facility to gasoline in order to increase revenue. The Board concluded that a sale to Sprague was in the best interest of the Company’s shareholders. As a result of7. With the sale of the Terminal, the Board determined that there was no longer a need to maintain Capital Terminal Company and Dunellen, LLC, and at its petroleum storageApril 24, 2018 regularly scheduled Board meeting, it voted to liquidate and related assets, the Company’s operations are limited to leasing its real estate interests.dissolve these two companies.

The Company’s continuing operations consist of the long-term leasing of certain of its real estate interests in downtown Providence, Rhode Island (upon the commencement of which the tenants have been required to construct buildings thereon, with the exception of the parking garage and Parcel 6C), the leasing of a portion of its building (“Steeple Street Building”) under short-term leasing arrangements and the leasing of locations along interstate and primary highways in Rhode Island and Massachusetts to Lamar Outdoor Advertising, LLC (“Lamar”) which has constructed outdoor advertising boards thereon.  The Company anticipates that the future development of its remaining properties in and adjacent to the Capital Center area will consist primarily of long-term ground leases.  Pending this development, the Company leases these parcels for public parking under short-term leasing arrangements to Metropark, Ltd.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts and transactions of the Company and its subsidiaries.  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2016,2017, has been derived from audited financial statements and the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading.  It is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s latest Form10-K. 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017. In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of June 30, 20172018 and the results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 20172018 and 2016,2017, and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 20172018 and 2016.2017.

The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

Environmental incidents:

The Company accrues a liability when an environmental incident has occurred and the costs are estimable.  The Company does not record a receivable for recoveries from third parties for environmental matters until it has determined that the amount of the collection is reasonably assured.  The accrued liability is relieved when the Company pays the liability or a third party assumes the liability.  Upon determination that collection is reasonably assured or a third party assumes the liability, the Company records the amount as a reduction of expense.

Cash and cash equivalents:

For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid deposits purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Retrospective adjustment:Investments:

Certain amounts in the consolidated financial statementsInvestments consist of certificates of deposit that bear interest at 2.5 percent per annum with an original maturity of March 15, 2023 plus earned interest.  Each certificate of deposit ($1,000,000) provides for 2016 have been retrospectively adjusted as described in Note 10 hereof.a one-time penalty free withdrawal after September 16, 2018 and March 16, 2019.

Recent accounting pronouncements:

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASUNo. 2015-17,Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes. The new standard eliminates the current requirement for organizations to present deferred tax liabilities and assets as current and noncurrent in a classified balance sheet. Instead, organizations will be required to classify all deferred tax assets and liabilities as noncurrent. The amendments are effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those annual periods. ASU2015-17 will not affect the Company’s balance sheet presentation in future periods because the Company does not present a classified balance sheet. See Note 9 herein.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASUNo. 2016-02,Leases (Topic 842),to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing all lease transactions (with terms in excess of 12 months) on the balance sheet as a lease liability and aright-of-use asset (as defined). The ASU requires lessors to account for leases using an approach that is substantially equivalent to existing guidance for sales-type leases, direct financing leases and operating leases.  The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with earlier application permitted.  Upon adoption, the lessee and lessor will apply the new standard retrospectively to all periods presented or retrospectively using a cumulative effect adjustment in the year of adoption.  The Company is still assessingin the process of documenting the impact of adopting the ASU butand expects that its leases where it is the lessor will be accounted for as operating leases similar to its current accounting.  For additional information on the Company’s leases, see Note 6 herein.5.

3.      

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 consolidated financial statements.  Estimates also affect the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

7.     Petroleum storage facilitylease and environmental incidents:

Terminal and pier facility:

On February 10, 2017, the Company sold its petroleum storage facility and related assets (the Facility) to Sprague. See Note 10. The Facility had been leased to Sprague underutilizes a Petroleum Storage Services Agreement (“the Services Agreement”) since May 1, 2014. The annual base rent under the Services Agreement was $3,500,000, subject to annualcost-of-living adjustments on May 1 of each year. On May 1, 2016, the annual rent increased $39,000. Commencing on April 1, 2016 and each April 1 thereafter during the initial term and any extension term of the Services Agreement, either party during the following thirty days had the right to terminate the Services Agreement as of April 30 of the year next following the year in which notice of termination was given. On April 28, 2016, the Company received notice from Sprague that, effective April 30, 2017, Sprague would terminate the Services Agreement.

Commencing May 1, 2015, Sprague was obligated to reimburse the Company for any real property taxes in excess of $290,000. For the year 2016, there was an increase in the assessment but a decrease in the tax rate, resulting in no additional payment being due from Sprague.

The Company incurred $108,000 in fees in connection with the execution of the Services Agreement, which amounts were being amortized using the straight-line method over the three-yearnon-cancellable portion of the term of the Services Agreement and were included in income (loss) from discontinued operations, net on the accompanying consolidated statements of incomebuilding for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and the three and six months ended June 30, 2016. At March 31, 2017, the balance was fully written off.

Environmental incident (2002):

In 2002, during testing of monitoring wells at the Terminal, the Company’s consulting engineer discovered free floating phase product in a groundwater monitoring well located on that portion of the Terminal purchased in 2000. Laboratory analysis indicated that the product was gasoline, which is not a product the Company ever stored at the Terminal. The Company commenced an environmental investigation and analysis, the results of which indicate that the gasoline did not come from the Terminal. The Company notified the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management (“RIDEM”). RIDEM subsequently identified Power Test Realty Partnership (“Power Test”), the owner of an adjacent parcel, as a potentially responsible party for the contamination. Getty Properties Corp. is the general partner of Power Test. Power Test challenged that determination and, after an administrative hearing, in October 2008 a RIDEM Hearing Officer determined that Power Test is responsible for the discharge of the petroleum product under the Rhode Island Oil Pollution Control Act, R.I.G.L.Section 46-12.5.1-3 and Rule 6(a) and 12(b) of the Oil Pollution Control Regulations. The RIDEM Decision and Order requires Power Test to remediate the contamination as directed by RIDEM. In November 2008, Power Test appealed the decision. In March 2016, the Rhode Island Supreme Court affirmed the RIDEM decision.

In April 2009, the Company sued Power Test and certain other firms with respect to the gasoline discharge. All other parties other than Power Test and the Company were dismissed from the proceedings. On September 12, 2016, the Company and Power Test entered into a Tolling Agreement under which the statute of limitations is tolled to not later than sixty days following the implementation by Power Test of a RIDEM approved remediation plan. On September 19, 2016, the parties dismissed the litigation.

Since January 2003, the Company has not incurred significant costs in connection with this matter, other than ongoing litigation costs.

8.     Environmental remediation:

In 1994, a leak was discovered in a25,000-barrel storage tank at the Terminal which allowed the escape of a small amount of fuel oil. All required notices were made to RIDEM. In 2000, the tank was demolished and testing of the groundwater indicated that there was no large pooling of contaminants. In 2001, RIDEM approved a plan pursuant to which the Company installed a passive system consisting of three wells and commenced monitoring the wells.

In 2003, RIDEM decided that the passive monitoring system previously approved was not sufficient and required the Company to design an active remediation system for the removal of product from the contaminated site. The Company and its consulting engineers began thepre-design testing of the site in the fourth quarter of 2004. The consulting engineers estimated a total cost of $200,000 to design, install and operate the system, which amount was accrued in 2004. Through 2006, the Company had expended $119,000 and has not incurred any significant costs since then. In 2011, RIDEM notified the company to proceed with the next phase of the approval process, notifyingoffices.

Deferred income taxes are recorded based upon differences between financial statement and tax basis amounts of assets and liabilities.  The tax effects of temporary differences which give rise to deferred tax assets and liabilities were as follows:

10.    

On December 20, 2016, the Company’s Board of Directors voted to authorize the sale of its East Providence petroleum storage facility and related assets, including the Pier and petroleum transmission pipelines owned or controlled by its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Capital Terminal Company (“CTC”) and Dunellen, LLC (“Dunellen”) (“Petroleum Segment”)Segment to Sprague Operating Resources, LLC for $23 Million (the “Sale Price”), subject to certain adjustments.  On January 24, 2017, the Company and Sprague entered into the Sale Agreement.  The sale closed on February 10, 2017.

The Company has elected to report as a gain from sale amounts heldAgreement and $441,000 in escrow only when, and if, such amounts are released therefrom. In addition, the Company incurred normal closing adjustments, transfer taxes, investment banking and other fees, other than federal and state income taxes,taxes.  The net proceeds delivered to the Company amounted to $19.8 Million.

These liabilities were not assumedincome statement and retained earnings as income or expense from discontinued operations.

The Sales Agreement also contains a cost sharing provision for the Dolphin Project whereby any variance from the initial estimate of $1,040,000 will be borne equally by Sprague and remain obligationsthe Company subject to certain limitations.  In May 2018 the Company received notice from Sprague that Sprague had received bids for the Dolphin Project and that the cost of the Project was estimated at $1,923,284.  Sprague requested that the Company until settled.acknowledge that it was obligated to pay 50% of the cost in excess of $1,040,000, or $441,642. The Petroleum SegmentCompany replied that pursuant to the letter agreement between the Company and Sprague (the “Letter Agreement”) the Company’s obligation cannot exceed $104,000 assuming, among other things, that Sprague had been timely in securing bids for the Project and the scope of the Project as bid was consistent with the Letter Agreement.   

Provided there are no breaches, the aforementioned escrow will be returned to the Company, 50 percent after 12 months and the remainder after 24 months. As the release of the funds held in escrow is contingent on no breaches in the Company’s representations, warranties and covenants, the Company will report as income the escrow funds when received.  In February 2018, the Company received 50 percent of the aforementioned escrow or $862,000, which amount is reported net of income taxes as “Gain on sale of discontinued operations, are reported after income from continuing operations.net of taxes.”
