The operations of 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 and adjacent to 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), the leasing of a portion of its building (“Steeple Street Building”) under short-term leasing arrangements20) 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 undeveloped parcels (other than Parcel 6C) for public parking to Metropark, Ltd.

Principles of consolidation:

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, 2016,2020 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, 2020.

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 September 30, 2017March 31, 2021 and the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2021 and 2016,2020, and cash flows for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2021 and 2016.2020.

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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“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.

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:

Certain amounts in the consolidated financial statements for 2016 have been retrospectively adjusted as described in Note 10 hereof.

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 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. For additional information on the Company’s leases, see Note 6 herein.

Properties and equipment (exclusive of assets held for sale) consist of the following:

In 2012, the Company issued $11,787,000 in principal face amount of 5% dividend notes due December 26, 2022 (the “Dividend Notes”). The Dividend Notes were unsecured general obligationsLiabilities, other consist of the Company.following:

In June 2016, the Company redeemed 10 percent of the face value of the outstanding Dividend Notes ($1,179,000) to noteholders of record on June 2, 2016.

On February 24, 2017, following the sale of the Company’s petroleum storage facility and related assets to Sprague on February 10, 2017, the Company issued a notice of mandatory redemption of 100% of the remaining Dividend Notes for a redemption price equal to the outstanding principal face amount of $10,608,000 plus accrued interest of $156,000. The Notes were redeemed on March 31, 2017.

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 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.

8.	Environmental remediation:

In 1994, a leakof information only, as of March 31, 2021 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.

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.$83,793,000.

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 for continuing operations which give rise to deferred tax assets and liabilities wereare as follows:

On December 20, 2016,Prior to February 2017, the Company’s Board of Directors voted to authorize the sale of its East ProvidenceCompany operated a petroleum storage facility and related assets, including(“Terminal”) through two wholly owned subsidiaries.  On February 10, 2017, the Pier and petroleum transmission pipelines owned or controlled by its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Capital Terminal Company (“CTC”) and Dunellen, LLC (“Dunellen”) (“Petroleum Segment”)was sold to Sprague Operating Resources, LLC (“Sprague”). In accordance with ASC 205-20, Presentation of Financial Statements – Discontinued Operations, the sale of the Terminal is accounted 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.as a discontinued operation.

Pursuant to the Terminal Sale Agreement, the Sale Price was reduced by $1,040,000, the estimated cost of a turningbreasting dolphin to be constructed by Sprague adjacent to the Terminal’s Pier in order to provide access to Wilkesbarrethat the Pier can berth Panamax sized vessels.  The Terminal Sale Agreement contained a cost sharing provision for larger vessels; $1,725,000the breasting dolphin whereby any cost incurred in connection with the construction of the Sale Price was placedbreasting dolphin in escrowexcess of the initial estimate of $1,040,000 will be borne equally by Sprague and the Company subject to securecertain limitations, including, in the Company’s indemnity obligations underopinion, a 20% cap on the Sale Agreement.increase from the initial estimate, subject to a sharing arrangement.  In November 2019, the Company received a demand letter from Sprague asserting that they were owed $427,000, which amount represents 50% of the actual costs incurred ($1,894,008) in excess of $1,040,000.  The Company asserts that its obligation cannot exceed $104,000. The Company and Sprague have agreed to engage in mediation with respect to Sprague’s claim.  The mediation is currently scheduled for early June 2021.  

As part of the Terminal Sale Agreement, the Company has electedagreed to report asretain and pay for the environmental remediation costs associated with a gain from sale amounts held in escrow only when,1994 storage tank fuel oil leak which allowed the escape of a small amount of fuel oil.  In February 2020, the Company filed a revised Remediation Action Work Plan (“RAWP”) with the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management (“RIDEM”) to describe the technical details associated with the preferred remedial activities and if, such amounts are released therefrom.to update the previously filed RAWP.  In addition,2019, the Company incurred normal closing adjustments, transfer taxes, investment bankingremediation costs of $293,000 and, other fees, other than federal and state income taxes, of $441,000.

In accordance with ASC205-20,Presentation of Financial Statements – Discontinued Operations the Petroleum Segment is accounted for as a discontinued operation. Accordingly,result of the Petroleum Segment assets and liabilities that wererevised remedial activities included in the 2020 RAWP, the remediation accrual was increased by $846,000 primarily due to design changes necessary to meet the requirements of applicable life safety codes resulting in an environmental remediation liability of $1,043,000 at December 31, 2019. In 2020, the Company incurred costs of $553,000 which reduced the remediation liability to $490,000 at December 31, 2020.  For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company incurred costs of $53,000 which reduced the remediation liability to $437,000.  Any subsequent increases or decreases to the expected cost of remediation will be sold were recorded as held for sale in 2016. The liabilities associated with the discontinued operations are separately identified on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. These liabilities were not assumed by Sprague and remain obligationsincome statement as income or expense from discontinued operations.   On March 9, 2021, the Company commenced operation of the Company until settled. The Petroleum Segment discontinued operations are reported after income from continuing operations.

The operating results of the Petroleum Segment, including those related to prior years, have been retrospectively adjusted from continuing operations in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. Revenue and income before income taxes attributable to discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 are as follows:

The net gain from sale of discontinued operations as of September 30, 2017, was calculated as follows:

The Company believes that the fair values of its financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, receivables and payables, approximate their respective book values because of their short-term nature.  Upon review of current market conditions and other factors, at December 31, 2016, the Company believed that the fair value of the dividend notes payable approximated their book value. The fair values described herein were determined using significant other observable inputs (Level 2) as defined by GAAP.

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, 2016.2020. There have been no changes to the application of this accounting policy since December 31, 2016.2020.

UnderOn July 30, 2020, the termsCompany received notice that the tenant of a long-term landParcel 6C exercised their right to terminate the ground lease effective August 29, 2020.  On the termination date, the annual rent on Parcel 7A,6C was $220,000 and the land was appraised resultingannual real estate taxes paid by the tenant equaled $311,000. Upon termination, the real estate taxes became an obligation of the Company effective with the taxes assessed as of December 31, 2020.  The Company believes that the assessed value of Parcel 6C as contained in an increasea treaty between the City of Providence (“City”) and the tenant is much greater than similar parcels in annualthe Capital Center area.  The Company is not a party to the tax treaty.  Accordingly, the Company has commenced negotiations with the City for a lower assessment.    

As of May 5, 2021, all tenants have paid their monthly rent in accordance with their lease agreements except for Metropark.  The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and Rhode Island’s stay-at-home order has had a significant adverse impact on Metropark.  The Company does not know when or if Metropark’s operations will return to normal.  Metropark has not fully paid the rent from $122,000 to $170,000.

The Company expects revenue from contingent rent in 2021 will materially decline for both Metropark and Lamar.
