CAPITAL PROPERTIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2007 AND 2006
(Unaudited)
1.   Description of business:
 
    Capital Properties, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Tri-State Displays, Inc., Capital Terminal Company and Dunellen, LLC (collectively referred to as “the Company”) operate in two segments: (1) Leasing and (2) Petroleum Storage.
 
    The leasing segment consists principally of the long-term leasing of certain of its real estate interests in downtown Providence, Rhode Island to various tenants, 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 petroleum storage segment consists of the operating of the petroleum storage terminal (the “Terminal”) and the Wilkesbarre Pier (the “Pier”), collectively referred to as the “Facility,” located in East Providence, Rhode Island, for Global Companies, LLC (“Global”) which stores and distributes petroleum products.
 
    The principal difference between the two segments relates to the nature of the operations. The tenants in the leasing segment incur substantially all of the development and operating costs of the assets constructed on the Company’s land, whereas the Company is responsible for the operating and maintenance expenditures as well as capital improvements at the Facility.
 
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. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
    The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2006, 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 generally accepted accounting principles 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 financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s latest Form 10-K. 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 March 31, 2007 and the results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006.
 
    The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
 
3.   Use of estimates:
 
    The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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.

  $ 18,330,000     $ 18,471,000  
 
           
5.   Description of leasing arrangements:
 
    As of March 31, 2007, the Company had entered into five long-term land leases for five separate parcels upon which the improvements have been completed (developed parcels). In 2005, two additional long-term land leases commenced (undeveloped parcels) and construction of the improvements has begun on both parcels.
 
    Under the seven land leases which have commenced, the tenants are required to pay real property taxes, which amounts are excluded from leasing revenues and leasing expense on the accompanying consolidated statements of income. For the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, the real property taxes attributable to the Company’s land under these leases are $361,000 and $325,000 respectively.
 
    Under one of the leases which commenced in 2005, the tenant is entitled to a credit for future rents equal to a portion of the real property taxes paid by the tenant through April 2007. For real estate taxes prior to 2007, the Company reported the portion of the real property taxes subject to the future credit as property tax expense on the accompanying consolidated statement of income and as accrued property taxes on its consolidated balance sheet. As the tenant makes the tax payment, the amount of the payment is reclassified from accrued property taxes to deferred leasing revenues which totaled $484,000 and $448,000 at March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. During the periods that the tenant is entitled to the credit (commencing in 2010), the Company will reclassify deferred leasing revenues to leasing revenues.
 
6.   Petroleum storage facility:
 
    Environmental remediation:
 
    In 1994, a leak was discovered in a 25,000 barrel storage tank at the Terminal which allowed the escape of a small amount of fuel oil. All required notices were made to the State of Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management (“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 the pre-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 included in petroleum storage facility expense in 2004. Through March 31, 2007, the Company has expended

Table of Contents

    $119,000. RIDEM has not 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. While the Company and its consulting engineers believe that the proposed active remediation system will correct the situation, it is possible that RIDEM could require the Company to expand remediation efforts, which could result in the Company incurring additional costs.
 
    Environmental incident:
 
    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. Preliminary laboratory analysis indicated that the product was gasoline, which is not a product the Company ever stored at the Company’s Terminal. However, in the 1950’s gasoline was stored on the Company’s property by a predecessor owner. The Company commenced an environmental investigation and analysis, the results of which indicate that the gasoline did not come from the Company’s Terminal. The Company notified RIDEM. The Company will continue to monitor RIDEM’s investigation.
 
    Since January 2003, the Company has not incurred significant costs in connection with this matter and is unable to determine the costs it might incur to remedy the situation as well as any costs to investigate, defend, and seek reimbursement from the responsible party with respect to this contamination.
 
7.   Income taxes:
 
    In 2004, the Company received condemnation proceeds from Amtrak totaling $1,428,000 which qualify for deferred reinvestment for income tax reporting purposes whereby the Company elected to reduce the income tax basis of qualifying subsequent acquisitions, which resulted in the Company’s not then paying income taxes on the proceeds, subject to certain restrictions. The Company filed its 2004 income tax returns, making such election, thereby reducing its cash outlay for income taxes for 2004 by approximately $570,000. Through March 31, 2007, the Company has made qualifying acquisitions totaling $250,000. However, the Company will be required to reinvest the remaining condemnation proceeds in qualifying assets by December 31, 2007, unless this date is extended by the Internal Revenue Service. The Company intends to apply for an extension of the reinvestment period to December 31, 2008. The Company will be required to pay the income tax and interest on any unexpended proceeds.
 
    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:
                 
    March 31,     December 31,  
    2007     2006  
Gross deferred tax liabilities:
               
Property having a financial statement basis in excess of tax basis
  $ 4,802,000     $ 4,728,000  
Condemnation proceeds
    470,000       470,000  
Insurance premiums
    69,000       92,000  
 
           
 
    5,341,000       5,290,000  
Gross deferred tax assets
    (426,000 )     (432,000 )
 
           
 
  $ 4,915,000     $ 4,858,000  
 
           
The Company adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 48 (Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes-An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109) on January 1, 2007. Based on its evaluation, the Company has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the consolidated financial statements. The evaluation was performed for the tax years ended December 31, 2004, 2005 and 2006, the tax years which remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions as of March 31, 2007. The Company may from time to time be assessed interest or penalties by major tax jurisdictions, although any such assessments historically have been minimal and immaterial to the Company’s financial results. In the event the Company receives an assessment for interest and/or penalties, it would be classified in the consolidated financial statements as general and administrative expense.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain portions of this report, and particularly the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, and the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, contain forward-looking statements which represent the Company’s expectations or beliefs concerning future events. The Company cautions that these statements are further qualified by important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, the following: the ability of the Company to generate adequate amounts of cash; the collectibility of the accrued leasing revenues when due over the terms of the long-term land leases; the commencement of additional long-term land leases; changes in economic conditions that may affect either the current or future development on the Company’s parcels; and exposure to contamination, remediation or similar costs associated with the operation of the petroleum storage facility.
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 Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. There have been no changes to the application of this accounting policy since December 31, 2006.
 
    Segments:
 
    The Company operates in two segments, leasing and petroleum storage.
 
    The leasing segment consists 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 a parking garage, and to pay real property taxes), and the leasing of locations along interstate and primary highways in Rhode Island and Massachusetts to 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 purposes under short-term cancellable leasing arrangements.
 
    The petroleum storage segment consists of operating the Facility in East Providence, Rhode Island, for Global.
 
    The principal difference between the two segments relates to the nature of the operations. The tenants in the leasing segment incur substantially all of the development and operating costs of the assets constructed on the Company’s land; whereas the Company is responsible for the operating and maintenance expenses as well as capital improvements at the Facility.
 
2.   Results of operations:
 
    Three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to three months ended March 31, 2006:
 
    Leasing segment:
                         
    2007     2006     Difference  
Leasing revenues
  $ 659,000     $ 632,000     $ 27,000  
Leasing expense
    138,000       172,000     $ (34,000 )
 
                   
 
  $ 521,000     $ 460,000          
 
                   
Effective June 1, 2006, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Agreement of Lease with Lamar, which changed the contractual rental payments thereby extending the turnaround date until 2022. As a result, the Company concluded that it should not presently record a receivable resulting from reporting leasing revenue on a straight-line basis. However, prior to June 1, 2006, the Company had been recognizing revenue on this lease on a straight-line

basis and, accordingly, had recorded a reduction in leasing revenue of $17,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2006. Therefore, leasing revenues increased principally because the Company is no longer recognizing revenue on this lease on the straight-line basis.
Leasing expense decreased principally due to lower real property taxes due to an existing tenant’s assumption of all real property taxes on its parcel as of January 1, 2007.
Petroleum storage segment:
                         
    2007     2006     Difference  
Petroleum storage facility revenues
  $ 975,000     $ 807,000     $ 168,000  
Petroleum storage facility expense
    555,000       445,000     $ 110,000  
 
                   
 
  $ 420,000     $ 362,000          
 
                   
Petroleum storage facility revenue increased due principally to higher monthly rent resulting from the annual cost-of-living adjustment May 1, 2006 and rent for the new 175,000 barrel tank effective August 2006.
Petroleum storage facility expense increased due principally to higher depreciation related principally to the new tank and legal fees in connection with the Company’s lawsuit to recover previously paid expenses to maintain the Pier.
General:
For the three months ended March 31, 2007, general and administrative expense increased $18,000 from 2006 due principally to higher professional fees incurred in connection with the Company’s filing status changing from a small business issuer to a non-accelerated filer for the year ended December 31, 2006.
3.   Liquidity and capital resources:
 
    Historically, the Company has had adequate liquidity to fund its operations.
 
    During the first quarter of 2007, the Company’s operating activities produced $719,000 of cash. Cash and cash equivalents increased by $535,000 for the quarter. The principal utilization of cash during the quarter was for the payment of dividends of $165,000.
 
    In management’s opinion, operations will continue to generate sufficient cash to enable the Company to meet its operating expenses, capital expenditures and dividend payments, if declared.
 
    Cash and cash equivalents and cash commitments:
 
    At March 31, 2007, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $3,527,000.
 
    The Company is currently improving the berm containment wall at the Terminal with a remaining estimated cost of $155,000. The Company will paint the two recently constructed tanks during the next two years at an estimated cost of $235,000. The Company does not anticipate making any substantial improvements at the Pier during 2007. In 2004, the Company received condemnation proceeds from Amtrak of $1,428,000, excluding interest, which qualify for deferred reinvestment for income tax reporting purposes pursuant to which the Company may elect to reduce the income tax basis of qualifying subsequent acquisitions, thereby avoiding currently paying income taxes on the proceeds, subject to certain restrictions. The Company’s 2004 income tax returns made such election, thereby reducing its cash outlay for income taxes for 2004 by approximately $570,000. At March 31, 2007, the Company had purchased qualifying assets totaling $250,000. The Company will be required to reinvest the remaining condemnation proceeds in qualifying assets by December 31, 2007, unless this date is extended by the Internal Revenue Service. The Company intends to apply for an extension of the reinvestment period to December 31, 2008. Assuming the Company does not reinvest any additional condemnation proceeds, the liability for income tax and interest would total approximately $575,000 at March 31, 2007.
 
    In April 2007, the Company paid a quarterly dividend of $165,000 ($.05 per common share). The declaration of future dividends and the amount thereof will depend on the Company’s future earnings, financial factors and other events.
 
    In management’s opinion, the Company should be able to generate adequate amounts of cash to meet all of its anticipated obligations. In the event temporary additional liquidity is required, the Company believes that a line of credit or other arrangements could be obtained by pledging some or all of its unencumbered assets as collateral.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Securities
The Company’s cash and cash equivalent balances are exposed to risk of changes in short-term interest rates. Reductions in short-term interest rates could result in a reduction in interest income; however, the impact on income would not be material in amount.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision of the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, the Company has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon this evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that, as of such date, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective in making them aware on a timely basis of the material information relating to the Company required to be included in the Company’s periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
There were no significant changes made in the Company’s internal controls during the period covered by this report or, to the Company’s knowledge, in the factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation.
