THREE AND NINESIX MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBERJUNE 30, 20172023 AND 20162022

(Unaudited)

1.
Description of business:

1.DescriptionThe operations of business:

Capital Properties, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries,subsidiary, 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 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, 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 of the sale of its petroleum storage and related assets, the Company’s operations are limited to leasing its real estate interests.

The Company’s continuing operations consist of the long-term leasing of certain of its real estate interests in the Capital Center area 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)garage), 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.

2.Principles of consolidation and basis of presentation:

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

The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2016,2022 has been derived from audited financial statements and thestatements. 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 GAAPaccounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“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, 2022.

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 SeptemberJune 30, 20172023 and the results of operations for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172023 and 2016,2022, and cash flows for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172023 and 2016.2022.

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

Use of estimates:

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 financial statements. Estimates also affect the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

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.

CashFair value of financial instruments:

The Company believes that the fair values of its financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents:equivalents, investments, receivables and payables, approximate their respective book values because of their short-term nature. The fair values described herein were determined using quoted prices in an active market (Level 1) and significant other observable inputs (Level 2) as defined by GAAP.

Reclassification of Prior Period Presentation:

For purposesGeneral and administrative expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 have been reduced by $70,000 to reclassify costs associated with the litigation of the statementscost sharing provision of the Terminal Sales Agreement (Note 9) to loss from sale of discontinued operations. This change results in the reporting of a loss from sale of discontinued operations of $51,000, which is net of an income tax benefit of $19,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. The change also increased net cash flows,provided by operating activities and cash used in investing activities by $51,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

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 becauseand adjusted for the Company does not present a classified balance sheet.

Properties 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 assessing the impact of adopting the ASU but expects that its leases where it is the lessor will be accounted for as operating leases similar to its current accounting.

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 under 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.

Environmental incident (2002):

In 2002, during testing of monitoring wells atHistorically, the Terminal, the Company’s consulting engineer discovered free floating phase product in a groundwater monitoring well located on that portionCompany has made financial statement footnote disclosure of the Terminal purchased in 2000. Laboratory analysis indicated thatexcess of straight-line rentals over contractual payments and its determination of collectability of such excess. To the product was gasoline, which is not a productextent the Company ever stored at the Terminal. The Company commenced an environmental investigation and analysis, the results of which indicatedetermines 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 any of its leases, the gasoline discharge. All other parties other than Power Test andexcess of straight-line rentals over contractual payments is not collectible, such excess is not recognized as revenue. Consistent with prior conclusions, the Company were dismissed fromhas determined that, at this time, the proceedings. On September 12, 2016, the Company and Power Test entered into a Tolling Agreement under which the statuteexcess of limitationsstraight-line rentals over contractual payments is tolled to not later than sixty days following the implementation by Power Testprobable of a RIDEM approved remediation plan. On September 19, 2016, the parties dismissed the litigation.

Since January 2003,collection. Accordingly, the Company has not incurred significant costsincluded any part of that amount in connection with thisrevenue. As a matter other than ongoing litigation costs.

8.Environmental remediation:

In 1994, a leakof information only, as of June 30, 2023 the excess of straight-line rentals (calculated by excluding variable payments) over contractual payments 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.$91,072,000.

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, notifying the abutters of the proposed remediation system even though RIDEM has not yet taken any action on the Company’s proposed plan. As designed, the system will pump out the contaminants which will be disposed of in compliance with applicable regulations. After a period of time, the groundwater will be tested to determine if sufficient contaminants have been removed. In 2014, the Company engaged new consultants to work with RIDEM to develop the next phase of the approval process. The Company and RIDEM are working to complete a remediation plan. Pursuant to the Sale Agreement and related documentation between the Company and Sprague, the Company is required to secure an approved plan to remediate the contamination at its expense. At September 30, 2017, the Company had accrued $436,000 to cover these costs. Any subsequent increase or decrease to the expected cost of remediation will be recorded in the Company’s consolidated income statement as income or expense from discontinued operations.8

Overview:

1.Overview:

Critical accounting policies:

The Company believes that its revenue recognition policy for long-term leases with scheduled rent increases (leasing segment) meets the definition of a critical accounting policy which is discussed in the Company’s Form10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.2022. There have been no changes to the application of this accounting policy since December 31, 2016.2022.

Liquidity and capital resources:

2.Liquidity and capital resources:

Historically, the Company has had adequate liquidity to fund its operations.

At SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2023, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $5,498,000.$1,048,000 inclusive of $202,000 of U.S. Treasury Bills that yield 5.19% and mature on September 7, 2023. The Company and its three subsidiary companies each maintain checking accounts and a checkingmoney market account in the sameone bank, eachall of which accounts isare insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation to a maximum of $250,000. The Company periodically evaluates the financial stability of the financial institutioninstitutions at which the Company’s funds are held. Investments consist of $1,000,000 of U. S. Treasury Bills that yield 4.6% with a maturity date of September 7, 2023.

UnderTo date, all tenants have paid their monthly rent in accordance with their lease agreements except for Metropark, the termstenant that operates public parking on the Company's undeveloped parcels other than Parcel 6C. The Company continues to report revenue from Metropark on a cash basis as the hybrid workplace model has reduced demand for parking spaces. At June 30, 2023 its total rent arrearage is $1,090,000 and has been fully reserved. Though there has been an upward trend in cash collections from Metropark in 2023, the Company does not know when or if Metropark’s operations will return to pre-pandemic levels. Accordingly, the Company will continue to recognize revenue from Metropark on a cash basis for the foreseeable future.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, cash collections from Metropark totaled $115,000 and $212,000, respectively and were $71,000 and $116,000 for the same period in 2022.

At June 30, 2023, the Company’s accrual for the remaining cost of remediation was $406,000 of which $75,000 is expected to be incurred in last half of 2023. Any subsequent increases or decreases to the expected cost of remediation will be recorded in gain (loss) on sale of discontinued operations, net of taxes.

However, the increase from the initial estimate subject to the sharing arrangement. In November 2019, Sprague asserted that it was more than 20 percent over the existing rent. Under the terms of the lease, the annual increase effective April 1, 2017 was limited to 20 percent of the existing rent, or $24,400, with the balance of the increase to be effective ratably over four years beginning April 1, 2018.
