TABLE OF CONTENTS
PART I
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain portions of this report, and particularly the Managements Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, and the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements, contain forward-looking statements which
represent the Companys 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 Companys parcels;
and exposure to contamination, remediation or similar costs associated with the
operation of the petroleum storage facility.
Item 1. Business
Business Development
The Company was organized as a business corporation under the laws of Rhode Island in 1983 as
Providence and Worcester Company and is the successor by merger in 1983 to a corporation also named
Providence and Worcester Company which was organized under the laws of Delaware in 1979. In 1984,
the Companys name was changed to Capital Properties, Inc.
Segments
The Company operates in two segments, leasing and petroleum storage. For financial information,
see Note 9 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8.
Leasing
Capital Center
The leasing segment is principally devoted to the leasing of Company-owned land in the Capital
Center area (Capital Center) in downtown Providence, Rhode Island under long-term ground leases.
The Company owns approximately 18 acres in the Capital Center consisting of 11 individual parcels
and a one-half acre parcel immediately adjacent thereto. The Capital Center (approximately 77
acres of land) is the result of a development project undertaken by the State of Rhode Island, the
City of Providence, the National Railroad Passenger Corporation (Amtrak) and the Company during
the 1980s in which two rivers, the Moshassuck and the Woonasquatucket, were moved, Amtraks
Northeast Corridor rail was relocated, a new railroad station (the Railroad Station) was
constructed and significant public improvements were made to improve pedestrian and vehicular
traffic in the area.
The Company has not acted, and does not intend to act, as a developer with respect to any
improvements constructed on Company-owned parcels. Rather, the Company offers individual parcels
for lease pursuant to long-term ground leases with terms of 99 years or more. Each lease contains
provisions permitting the tenant to develop the land under certain terms and conditions. Each
lease provides for periodic rent adjustments of various kinds. Under the leases, the tenants are
responsible for insuring the Company against various hazards and events. Each tenant is required
to indemnify the Company with respect to all of the tenants activities on the land. The leases
contain other terms and conditions customary to such instruments.
As part of the construction of the Railroad Station, the Federal Railroad Administration
constructed a 330-car parking garage on the Companys land adjacent to the Railroad Station, and
the Company paid one-half of the construction cost. Subsequently, the Company became the sole
owner of the parking garage, which was leased at an annual rental of $189,000. The Company paid all
maintenance expenses, real estate taxes and insurance relating to the parking garage which, in
2004, amounted to $110,000. In March 2005, the Company sold the parking garage for $2,500,000 in
cash and leased the underlying land for 99 years at an initial annual contractual rental of
$100,000. Under the lease the buyer is responsible for all real estate taxes and other expenses
relating to the parking garage. The sale of the parking garage while retaining title to the
underlying land is consistent with the Companys policy not to act as a developer with respect to
improvements constructed on land that it currently owns or may hereafter acquire.
2
The Company first began offering parcels for lease in the Capital Center area in the late 1980s.
As of December 31, 2006, five developed parcels have been leased by the Company under long-term
leases of 99 years or more. Located on these parcels are a 13-story office building (235,000 gross
square feet), an 8-story 225-unit apartment building (454,000 gross square feet), a 4-story office
building (114,000 gross square feet), a 10-story office building (210,000 gross square feet) and
the 330-car public parking garage.
Long-term leases commenced January 1, 2005 and May 1, 2005 on two of the remaining parcels
(undeveloped parcels). On one of the parcels, an underground parking garage and two buildings
containing 193 condominiums are under construction with an expected completion date in the fall of
2007. On the other undeveloped parcel, construction of two residential buildings, one containing 96
condominiums and the other containing 153 apartments, commenced in late December of 2006.
While seeking developers, the Company also leases Parcels 3E, 3W, 4E, 4W and 20 in or adjacent to
the Capital Center area for public parking purposes on a short-term basis.
All of the properties described above are located in the Capital Center area and are shown on a map
contained in Exhibit 20.1.
Lamar Lease
The Company, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, leases certain outdoor advertising locations along
interstate and primary highways in Rhode Island and Massachusetts to Lamar Outdoor Advertising, LLC
(Lamar) under a lease which expires in 2033. Presently, there are 25 locations under lease,
containing 48 billboard faces. Of these locations, 22 are controlled by the Company through
easements granted to the Company pursuant to an agreement between the Company and Providence &
Worcester Railroad Company, a related company, and 3 are leased by the Company from third parties
under leases with remaining terms of one to nine years. The term of the Lamar lease is extended
for two years for each additional location added. Although no new locations have been added since
2002, one structure was moved to a different location and the lease was extended for two years.
Lamar has a right of first refusal for additional billboard location sites acquired by the Company
in New England and Metropolitan New York City.
Effective June 1, 2006, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Agreement with Lamar which
among other things provides the following: (1) the base rent will increase annually in fixed
increases of 2.75% for each leased billboard location commencing June 1, 2006 and on each June 1
thereafter; and (2) in addition to base rent, for each 12-month period commencing each June 1,
Lamar must pay to the Company 30% of the gross revenues from each standard billboard (20% of the
gross revenues from each electronic billboard) for such 12-month period, reduced by the sum of (a)
commissions paid to third parties and (b) the base monthly rent for each leased billboard display
for such 12-month period. In all other respects, the lease remains substantially unchanged.
The Company has the right to require the Providence & Worcester Railroad Company to grant to it
easements for the location of billboards along the Railroads right-of-way on commercially
reasonable terms.
A summary of the long-term leases in effect is as follows:

Competition
The Company competes for tenants with other owners of undeveloped real property in downtown
Providence. The Company maintains no listing of other competitive properties and will not engage
in a competitive bid arrangement with proposed developers. The Companys refusal to sell the land
that it owns may restrict the number of interested developers.
Employees
The leasing segment has 4 employees.
Petroleum Storage
Terminal and Pier Facility
The Company, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, owns a petroleum storage terminal with a capacity
of approximately 1,000,000 barrels (the Terminal) and the Wilkesbarre Pier (the Pier),
collectively referred to as the Facility, located in East Providence, Rhode Island. The Facility
is leased to Global Companies, LLC (Global) for the storage and sale of petroleum distillates.
The Terminal utilizes the Companys Pier and pipelines connecting the Pier to the Terminal. The
Company operates the Facility for Global pursuant to a contract with another Company subsidiary.
The lease provides for a fixed monthly rent which is subject to annual cost-of-living adjustments.
The lease expires April 30, 2013, but will continue thereafter on a year-to-year basis unless
terminated by either party upon ninety days written notice. Global may terminate the lease on or
after April 30, 2008, upon one years written notice. The lease includes provisions for additional
payments based upon petroleum throughput in any twelve-month period beginning on May 1 of each year
and ending on April 30 of the subsequent year at the rate of $.10 per barrel for every barrel in
excess of 4,000,000 barrels, and for real property taxes in excess of $102,000 annually. The
Company bears all of the operating costs with respect to the Facility, including taxes and
insurance. In addition, Global has an option to purchase the Facility at any time during the term
of the lease (other than the last year thereof) on the terms and conditions set forth in a separate
option agreement. Under a companion agreement, Global has agreed to pay 50% of the cost of all
improvements to the Pier but not more than $1,000,000. To date, Global has paid approximately
$580,000.
Environmental
The operation of a petroleum storage facility carries with it the risk of environmental
contamination.
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 the Company reported as an expense in 2004. Through
December 31, 2006, the Company has expended $118,000. RIDEM has not taken any action on the
Companys 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.
In 2002, during testing of monitoring wells at the Terminal, the Companys consulting engineers
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 its Terminal. However, in the 1950s
gasoline was stored on the Companys 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 Companys Terminal. The Company notified RIDEM. The Company will continue to
monitor RIDEMs 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
4
reimbursement from the responsible party with respect to this contamination. This situation does
not affect current operations at the Facility but may affect the Companys ability to sell the
Facility should it determine to do so.
The Company manages its exposure to contamination, remediation or similar costs associated with the
Facility through adherence to established procedures for operations and equipment maintenance.
Insurance
The Company maintains what management believes to be adequate levels of insurance, including
environmental insurance. The Company notified its insurance company of the gasoline contamination.
The insurance company advised the Company that coverage is only provided under policies in place
at the time the contamination occurs.
Competition
The Facility competes with several other similar facilities located on and adjacent to the
Providence Harbor. The Terminal has approximately 50% of the total distillate storage capacity in
the Providence area. Global competes with other terminal operators on the basis of price,
availability, and a willingness to advance credit to local wholesalers. The amount of petroleum
throughput at the Terminal is a function of Globals ability to compete effectively in the
marketplace.
Employees
The Terminal employs 6 people on a full-time and 1 person on a part-time basis.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
General Risk Factors
Control. We are controlled by Robert and Linda Eder who own more than 50% of our common
stock. As a result, the Eders are in a position to dictate the Companys future and, in most
cases, to dictate whether any action is approved by the shareholders. There can be no assurance
that on the death of Mr. and Mrs. Eder, their heirs will decide to continue to operate the Company
in the manner in which it is operated today.
Succession; Senior Management Personnel. Robert Eder, our Chief Executive Officer, is 74
years old. Ronald Chrzanowski, our President, is 64 years old. Their ages create the risk of the
loss of both their services, either permanently or for an indeterminate period of time. In such
circumstances, we would be obligated to find replacements for them and during the period of the
search for replacements, our operating results might be adversely affected.
Lack of Liquidity. Our common stock is registered on the American Stock Exchange. Trading
in our stock is very thin and the purchase or sale of a small amount of shares can have a
substantial impact on the price of our stock.
Cost of Compliance with Federal Securities Laws. We are a small company with a small
number of employees. As a publicly traded company, we are subject to significant regulations
including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. While we maintain a corporate compliance program, we
cannot assure you that we are now, or will in the future be, in compliance with all such applicable
laws and regulations. If we fail to comply with any of these regulations, we could be subject to
significant penalties, including fines and other sanctions as well as litigation.
Our continued preparation for implementation of various corporate governance and reporting reforms
and enhanced disclosure laws and regulations adopted in recent years requires us to incur
significant additional accounting and legal costs. We, like other public companies, are preparing
for accounting disclosures required by laws and regulations adopted in connection with the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. In particular, we will be preparing to provide, if required, beginning
with our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2007, an annual report
on our internal controls over the financial reporting and beginning with the fiscal year ending
December 31, 2008, an auditors attestation with respect to our report required by Section 404 of
the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Any unanticipated difficulties in preparing for and implementing these and
other corporate governance and reporting forms could result in material delays in compliance and
significantly increase our costs. Any failure to timely prepare for implementing the forms
required by these new laws and regulations could significantly harm our business, operating results
and financial condition.
5
Leasing Segment
Geographic Concentration. All of our non-billboard property is located in downtown
Providence. We are, therefore, dependent on the Providence commercial real estate market with
respect to the development of our undeveloped properties. The loss of major tenants by any one or
more of our ground lease tenants of the developed properties could result in a default. Upon
default and absent any mortgagee of the leasehold interest entering into a new ground lease with
us, we would succeed to the ownership of the improvements. We would then be obligated to manage
those improvements. We lack personnel with experience in managing large commercial structures.
Additionally, a certain amount of our rental income is dependent upon the amount of rent received
by our ground lease tenants. Accordingly, an economic downturn in Providence could adversely
affect the rents paid to us.
Undeveloped Properties. We have five parcels of land which are not subject to long-term
ground leases and which are being leased for off-street parking. There is no assurance that we
will find tenants for these properties. Historically, each of the Companys tenants has been a
single purpose entity with no other assets. While our leases require provision of performance and
payment bonds during construction, there is always risk that an owner may default, or its
contractor may default and the bonding company for various reasons may not discharge the liens on
the property, leaving us with the obligation to discharge the liens in order to protect our
interests.
Generally, our leases provide for very modest rents during the construction and lease-up periods
which have historically run about five years. Therefore, the impact on our revenues during the
early years of any lease is primarily the avoidance of payment of real estate taxes. The rents
that we receive from the use of the undeveloped properties for surface parking have generally
covered our real estate taxes. Therefore, during the early years of any new lease, the additional
net revenues will be marginal.
Reliance on Senior Management. Mr. Eder and Mr. Chrzanowski are responsible for managing
the leasing segment of the Companys business. There is no one in the Company who could take over
their responsibilities should something happen to both of them. If that circumstance arose, we
would be obligated to search for replacements.
Reliance on Single Tenant. All of our billboard locations are leased by Lamar. We have no
experience in the outdoor advertising business. If Lamar defaults, we lack the expertise to find
other advertisers and we might have difficulty finding a new tenant on the same terms and
conditions or acquiring control over the billboard structures which are owned by Lamar. In such
event, our revenues would be adversely affected for an indeterminate period.
Insurance Coverage. We require all of our tenants to maintain specific insurance coverages
in amounts which we believe are sufficient to protect us against loss. There may, however, be
circumstances where the amount of that insurance is inadequate. We could experience a loss of
rental income while pursuing an insurance claim. While all of our leases require that the tenant
carry business interruption insurance to ensure the continued payment of rents to us in the event
that a building could no longer be occupied due to fire or other casualty, the holder of any
mortgage on the tenants interest in the property might not permit the rebuilding and our lease
would terminate leaving us with no rental income.
Environmental. While each of our tenants is required to protect the Company against any
environmental hazards created as a result of its tenancy, nevertheless, as owner of the property,
we have a residual obligation to remediate any contamination. Additionally, much of our property
in downtown Providence has been filled over time and much of it was at one time dedicated to
railroad use. While we believe that the environmental issues are not significant, nevertheless,
underlying soil conditions may prohibit or restrict the type of use to which the land can be put.
Petroleum Storage Segment
Single Tenant for the Facility. We lease the Facility to one tenant and operate it for the
account of that tenant under a lease which ends April 30, 2013. Beginning on May 1, 2008, this
tenant has the right to terminate the lease and operating agreement at any time on giving us one
years notice. Upon such termination or default by the tenant, there is no assurance that we could
find another tenant for the Facility or, if we did find a tenant, that such tenant would pay the
same rent. Any failure to secure a tenant willing to pay the same rental could have an adverse
impact on our financial performance.
Environmental Concerns. The operation of the Facility carries with it significant
environmental risk, including the potential for spills at the Terminal and the Pier. We have two
known environmental problems at the Facility, one of which we think is insignificant. The other is
a substantial plume of gasoline which our consulting engineers tell us was caused by the activities
of an adjacent landowner which denies responsibility. Regulatory authorities are pursuing the
claim against the adjacent landowner but to date there has been no resolution of the claim and
there can be no assurance that there will be resolution in the future. As such, the existence of
this environmental condition
6
may restrict our ability to sell or otherwise dispose of the Facility and may at some point impose
on us significant costs which we might not be able to recover from a third party.
Reliance on the Pier and Related Pipeline. The Terminal relies almost exclusively on the
Pier for supplying petroleum products to the Terminal. The Pier is connected to the Terminal by
underground pipelines. If for any reason either the Pier or any portion of the connecting
pipelines were to be unavailable, the Terminal would experience a severe reduction in supply and
petroleum throughput. Depending on the time of year, this could have an adverse impact on our
revenues.
Insurance. While we carry insurance with respect to the Facility which we think is
adequate given the cost, there is no assurance that our coverage fully protects us.
Terrorism. The Facility is potentially a target for terrorists. We have taken the steps
required by the United States Transportation Security Administration and the United States Coast
Guard to provide security at both the Terminal and the Pier. We believe that our security measures
are adequate. They are, however, not foolproof and there always exists a possibility that we could
be subject to an act of terrorism that could result in substantial damage to the Terminal. We
maintain terrorism insurance. The coverages and amounts of that insurance might not be adequate in
the event that the Terminal were substantially destroyed.
Potential for Increased Governmental Regulation: We are subject to governmental regulation
by the Environmental Protection Agency, the United States Department of Homeland Security and other
federal, state and local regulatory authorities with respect to the operation and security of the
Facility. Any change in the regulations applicable to the Facility could impose on us additional
costs and could adversely affect our financial performance. In particular, the Department of
Homeland Security could change the threat classification of the Terminal or the Pier which could
result in our incurring substantial additional capital and ongoing operating costs.
Item 2. Properties
The Company owns approximately 18.5 acres in and adjacent to the Capital Center District in
Providence, Rhode Island. All of the property is leased either under long-term leases, or
short-term leases for off-street parking and is more particularly described in Item 1. See Item 1,

Item 7. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
1. Overview:
Critical accounting policies:
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has issued guidance for the disclosure of critical
accounting policies. The SEC defines such policies as those that require application of
managements most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make
estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent
periods.
The Companys significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements in Item 8. Not all of these significant accounting policies require
management to make difficult, subjective or complex judgments or estimates. Management believes
that the Companys revenue recognition policy for long-term leases with scheduled rent increases
(leasing segment) meets the SEC definition of critical.
Certain of the Companys long-term land leases have original terms of 30 to 149 years and contain
scheduled rent increases where the future dollar increases are known at the time of the
commencement of the lease or at a subsequent date.
The first such lease commenced in 1988, had an original term of 99 years and provides for fixed
percentage increases at specified intervals (as well as reappraisal increases). In accordance with
the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (FAS) No. 13 (Accounting for Leases)
and certain of its interpretations, rental income related to the fixed percentage increases that
are presently known should be recognized on a straight-line basis. To calculate the annual
straight-line amount, the 99 known annual rental amounts are totaled and this total is divided by
99.
For this lease, the calculated annual straight-line amount for 1988 was eight times (multiple) the
amount paid by the tenant under the terms of the lease (the contractual amount). In subsequent
years, as the tenant pays higher rents, the multiple gradually decreases until the 57th
year of the lease, at which time the contractual amount paid by the tenant will exceed the
calculated straight-line amount. If the Company were to report annual revenue for this lease using
the straight-line amount, it would record a significant receivable for each of the first 56 years,
which receivable would grow to approximately $33,000,000. Management does not believe that the
Company should record a receivable that would not begin to be collected until the 56th
year (the turnaround date) since management could not be assured of collection.
In 1988, management met with the SEC accounting staff to discuss its concerns over the provisions
of FAS No. 13 as they related to a lease of this length which results in the recording of such a
significant receivable that would remain on the Companys balance sheet and continue to grow on an
annual basis with a turnaround date so far in the future. The Company presented the SEC accounting
staff with an application of the accounting policy whereby management would evaluate the
collectibility of the receivable on an annual basis and report as leasing revenue only that portion
of the receivable that management could presently conclude would be collectible. The SEC
accounting staff did not object to this application by the Company.
Through December 31, 2006, the receivable on this lease has grown to approximately $16,459,000
(cumulative excess of straight-line over contractual rentals) and management has not been able to
conclude that any portion is collectible as the turnaround date is still 39 years away.
In 2004, a second such lease commenced with an original term of 149 years and provides for fixed
minimum percentage increases at specified intervals (as well as reappraisal increases). For this
lease, the contractual amount paid by the tenant will not exceed the calculated straight-line
amount until the 94th year of the lease. Through December 31, 2006, the receivable on
this lease is approximately $6,526,000 (cumulative excess of straight-line over contractual
rentals) and management has not been able to conclude that any portion is collectible as the
turnaround date is 92 years away.
In June 2006, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Agreement of its lease with Lamar
Outdoor Advertising LLC (Lamar) with a current remaining term of 27 years which provides for
fixed percentage increases annually. For this lease, the contractual amount paid by Lamar will not
exceed the calculated straight-line amount until the 16th year of the lease. Through
December 31, 2006, the receivable on this lease is approximately $129,000 (cumulative excess of
straight-line over contractual rentals) and management has not been able to conclude that any
portion is collectible as the turnaround date is 16 years away.
11
Accordingly, the Company has not reported any portion of these amounts as leasing revenue in its
consolidated financial statements and does not anticipate that it can reach such a conclusion until
the turnaround dates are closer.
Although the Companys other long-term land leases provide for scheduled rent increases, the
provisions of the leases are such that the future dollar amounts could not be calculated either at
the time of the commencement of the lease or now, as such amounts are based on factors that are not
presently known, i.e., future cost-of-living adjustments or future appraised values. The Company
is reporting the annual rental revenues under these leases using the contractual amounts in
accordance with the provisions of FAS No. 13. The Company continues to recognize accrued leasing
revenue from two leases which were recorded in prior years.
The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors concurs with the Companys application of its
critical accounting policy relating to leasing revenue under long-term land leases.
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 Companies, LLC (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 Companys land; whereas the Company is responsible for the operating
and maintenance expenses as well as capital improvements at the Facility.
Changes in capital structure:
In December 2001, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to create three classes of $.01
par value stockClass A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock, and Excess Stock. The Company
converted the then outstanding 3,000,000 shares of $1.00 par value common shares into 3,000,000
shares of Class A Common Stock. In addition, the Company issued (in the form of a stock dividend)
299,956 shares of Class B Common Stock (one share for each ten shares of Class A Common Stock
held). No fractional Class B shares were issued.
The amended Articles of Incorporation prohibited any shareholder from acquiring more than a 5%
interest in the Companys classes of common stock and prohibited the two shareholders who each
beneficially then owned in excess of 5% of the Companys classes of common stock from increasing
their percentage ownership of each class of common stock. The purpose of the amendment of the
Articles of Incorporation was to provide the Company with the necessary flexibility to qualify to
be taxed as a real estate investment trust (REIT). The amendment provided that if the Company
did not make an election to be taxed as a REIT on or before March 31, 2005, the restrictions on
share ownership would automatically lapse and shares of Class B Common Stock would automatically be
converted into shares of Class A Common Stock on a one for one basis.
The Company did not make the election and on March 31, 2005, the shares of Class B Common Stock
were converted into shares of Class A Common Stock, resulting in the Company having 3,299,956
shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding. No Excess Stock was issued and it is no longer
authorized.

Leasing revenues decreased principally due to the reversal of $159,000 of previously reported
accrued leasing revenue from Lamar.
Prior to the commencement of two long-term land leases in 2005, the Company was receiving option
payments and revenue from a short-term surface parking lease but was paying all real property
taxes. Upon commencement of the leases, the Company receives an annual rental which is lower
during the construction and lease-up periods (approximately five years) than the amounts received
from the short-term parking leases; however, the tenant pays the real property taxes, resulting in
a decrease in real property tax expense of $30,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006 from 2005.
The decrease in leasing expense is also due in part to lower legal fees.

Petroleum storage facility revenue increased due principally to rent for the new 152,000 barrel
tank effective December 2005 and the new 175,000 barrel tank effective August 2006, and higher
monthly rent resulting from the annual cost-of-living adjustment May 1, 2006.
Petroleum storage facility expense increased due principally to higher depreciation related
principally to the new tanks offset by lower insurance costs and a decrease in levels of scheduled
repairs and maintenance.
Other income:
Other income decreased due to the sale in March 2005 of the Companys parking garage for
$2,500,000, resulting in a gain of $1,057,000, and the sale in July 2005 of a billboard permit,
resulting in a gain of $100,000.
General:
For the year ended December 31, 2006, general and administrative expense decreased $103,000 from
2005 due principally to lower professional fees; in 2005, the Company incurred costs in (1) the
conversion of its Class B common stock to Class A common stock and (2) responding to a tender offer
to acquire shares of the Companys stock.

Leasing revenues decreased as a result of the commencement of two long-term leases. Prior to the
commencement of the two long-term land leases in 2005, the Company was receiving option payments
and revenue from a short-term surface parking lease but was paying all real property taxes. Upon
commencement of the leases, the Company receives an annual rental which is lower during the
construction and lease-up periods (approximately five years)
13
than the amounts received from the short-term parking leases; however, the tenant pays the real
property taxes, resulting in a decrease in real property tax expense of $777,000 for the year ended
December 31, 2005 from 2004. The decrease in leasing expense is also due to a decrease in
depreciation resulting from the sale of the parking garage in March 2005, offset in part by higher
legal fees.

Petroleum storage facility revenues increased $475,000 from 2004 due principally to rent for the
new 152,000 barrel tank effective October 2004 and higher monthly rent resulting from the annual
cost-of-living adjustment May 1, 2005.
Petroleum storage facility expense decreased $163,000 from 2004. In 2004, the Company recorded
$200,000 of remediation costs associated with a leak in 1994 at the Terminal. See Note 6 to Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8. No additional remediation costs were recorded in
2005 and legal fees were lower in connection with the Wilkesbarre Pier litigation. These decreases
were offset by higher depreciation expense related principally to the tank constructed in 2004 and
higher payroll and related costs.
Other income:
As described in Note 4 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8, in 2004 the Company
received from Amtrak a condemnation award of $1,378,000 plus interest for a total of $1,622,000 and
an additional $50,000 from Amtrak for a condemnation of a small portion of land on one of the
Companys parcels. As further described in Note 4, in 2004 the Company received a payment of
$258,000 from the City of Providence for attorneys fees incurred in litigation against the City.
Interest income for 2005 increased $72,000 from 2004 resulting from higher levels of cash available
for short-term investments.
General:
For the year ended December 31, 2005, general and administrative expense increased $178,000 from
2004 due to the following:
|
|
|
Professional fees incurred in an assessment of the Companys risk insurance needs; |
|
|
|
|
Higher payroll and related costs; |
|
|
|
|
Higher directors fees; |
|
|
|
|
Costs associated with the conversion of the Companys Class B common stock to Class A
common stock; and |
|
|
|
|
Expenses associated with responding to a tender offer to acquire the Companys stock. |
3. Liquidity and capital resources:
Historically, the Company has had adequate liquidity to fund its operations.

Operating activities:
The decrease in cash flows from operating activities in 2006 from 2005 results principally from the
payment in 2006 of income taxes attributable to 2005 offset in part by increased revenue from the
newly constructed tanks at the Terminal. The increase in cash flows from operating activities in
2005 from 2004 results principally from the increased revenues from the newly constructed tank at
the Terminal and lower professional fees in connection with the Pier litigation.
Investing activities:
Exclusive of the cash received from the sales of the parking garage and the billboard in 2005
($2,600,000) and the proceeds from the Amtrak condemnations in 2004 ($1,672,000), the cash used in
investing activities relates principally to the costs incurred in the construction of a petroleum
tank in each of the three years.
Financing activities:
The cash used in financing activities is for the payment of dividends. In 2004, in addition to the
regular quarterly dividend, the Company paid a special dividend of $.18 per common share.
Cash and cash equivalents and cash commitments:
At December 31, 2006, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $2,992,000.
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 anticipates making no major capital
additions to the Facility but does expect to expend $150,000 for each of the next two years for
improvements at the Pier.
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
Companys 2004 income tax returns made such election, thereby reducing its cash outlay for income
taxes for 2004 by approximately $570,000. At December 31, 2006, the Company had purchased
qualifying assets 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.
In January 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 Companys future
earnings, financial factors and other events.
In managements 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.
At December 31, 2006, the Company has no non-cancellable contract obligations other than three
operating leases for billboard locations for which the rent expense is not material in amount.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Securities
The Companys 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.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED
PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Board of Directors
Capital Properties, Inc.
East Providence, Rhode Island
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Capital Properties, Inc. and
subsidiaries as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related consolidated statements of income
and retained earnings, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31,
2006. Our audits also included the financial statement schedules listed in the accompanying index.
These financial statements and financial statement schedules are the responsibility of the
Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements
based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The
Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control
over financial reporting. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial
reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but
not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control
over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management
and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Capital Properties, Inc. and subsidiaries as of
December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of
the three years in the period ended December 31, 2006, in conformity with U. S. generally accepted
accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedules, when
considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, present
fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

CAPITAL PROPERTIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2006, 2005 AND 2004
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 of the long-term leasing of certain of its real estate interests in
downtown Providence, Rhode Island (upon the commencement of which the tenants are 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 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 purposes under short-term
cancellable leasing arrangements. |
|
|
|
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 Companys land, whereas the Company is responsible for the operating
and maintenance expenditures as well as capital improvements at the Facility. |
|
2. |
|
Summary of significant accounting policies: |
|
|
|
Principles of consolidation: |
|
|
|
The accompanying 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. |
|
|
|
Use of estimates: |
|
|
|
The preparation of consolidated 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. |
|
|
|
Fair value of financial instruments: |
|
|
|
The Company believes that the fair value of financial instruments, including cash and cash
equivalents and accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximate their respective book values at
December 31, 2006 and 2005. |
|
|
|
Cash and cash equivalents: |
|
|
|
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when
purchased to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 2006 and 2005, cash equivalents consisted of an
overnight uninsured sweep with the Companys principal bank totaling $2,787,000 and $3,936,000,
respectively. |
|
|
|
Properties and equipment: |
|
|
|
Properties and equipment are stated at cost. Acquisitions and additions are capitalized while
routine maintenance and repairs, which do not improve the asset or extend its life, are charged to
expense when incurred. Depreciation is being provided by the straight-line method over the
estimated useful lives of the respective assets. |
21
The Company follows the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (FAS) No. 144
(Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets) which requires that properties and
equipment held and used by the Company be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the net book value of the asset may not be recoverable. An impairment
loss will be recognized if the sum of the expected future cash flows (undiscounted and before
interest) from the use of the asset is less than the net book value of the asset. Generally, the
amount of the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the net book value and the
estimated fair value of the asset.
Environmental remediation:
The Company accrues a liability when the environmental remediation is probable and the costs are
estimable. The Company charges to expense those costs that do not extend the life, increase the
capacity or improve the safety or efficiency of the property owned by the Company.
Revenues and other income:
Leasing The Companys properties leased to others are under operating leases. The Company
reports leasing revenue when earned under the operating method.
Certain of the Companys long-term land leases, including the outdoor advertising locations,
provide for presently known scheduled rent increases over the remaining terms (27 to 147 years).
In accordance with the provisions of FAS No. 13 (Accounting for Leases) and certain of its
interpretations, the Company recognizes leasing revenue on the straight-line basis over the terms
of the leases; however, the Company does not report as revenue that portion of such straight-line
rentals which management is unable to conclude is realizable (collectible) due to the length of the
lease terms and other related uncertainties.
Options The Company reports option revenue when earned.
Petroleum storage facility The Company reports revenue from the operations of the Facility when
earned.
Contingent The Company reports contingent revenue in the period in which the factors occur on
which the contingent payments are predicated.
Litigation and condemnation The Company reports income resulting from litigation and
condemnations in the period in which the cash is received.
Income taxes:
The Company and its subsidiaries file consolidated income tax returns.
The Company provides for income taxes based on income reported for financial reporting purposes.
The provision for income taxes differs from the amounts currently payable because of temporary
differences associated with the recognition of certain income and expense items for financial
reporting and tax reporting purposes.
New accounting standards:
The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Interpretation (FIN) No. 48 (Accounting for
Uncertainty in Income Taxes) in June 2006. The interpretation clarifies the accounting for
uncertainty in income taxes recognized in financial statements in accordance with FAS No. 109
(Accounting for Income Taxes). FIN No. 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December
15, 2006. The Company has not determined the effect, if any, the adoption of FIN No. 48 will have
on its consolidated financial statements.
The Company reviews new accounting standards as issued. Although some of these accounting
standards may be applicable to the Company, the Company has not identified any other standards that
it believes merit further discussion. The Company expects that none of the new standards would
have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

The Company was the owner of a parking garage located on Parcel 7A in the Capital Center area,
which was leased for several years. In March 2005, the Company sold the parking garage with a net
book value of $1,443,000 for $2,500,000 in cash but retained ownership of the underlying land which
is leased for 99 years at a current annual contractual rental of $100,000. Consistent with other
Company long-term land leases, the tenant pays the real property taxes on the land. The lease
further provides for future periodic rental adjustments.

Litigation judgments: |
|
|
|
Disputes with Amtrak regarding condemnations: |
|
|
|
In 1998, as part of the electrification of the Northeast Corridor, National Railroad Passenger
Corporation (Amtrak) erected towers and a signal bridge within the air rights owned by the
Company. In 1999, Amtrak condemned a three-year temporary easement of all the air rights owned by
the Company and the Company received $335,000 from Amtrak. In 2001, Amtrak permanently condemned
the air rights and a parcel of land adjacent to the air rights (with a book value of $625,000) and
the Company received $925,000 from Amtrak. The Company believed that the condemnation amounts paid
by Amtrak were inadequate and accordingly brought suit against Amtrak in the United States District
Court for the District of Rhode Island seeking additional compensation. In 2002, the Court awarded
the Company $1,378,000 plus interest for additional damages resulting from the aforementioned
condemnations. In 2003, Amtrak appealed the decision to the United States Court of Appeals for the
First Circuit. The First Circuit affirmed the judgment of the District Court, and in 2004 the
Company received $1,622,000. |
|
|
|
In 2004, Amtrak also permanently condemned a small portion of land surrounding a pole erected by
Amtrak on one of the Companys parcels. The Company and Amtrak entered into an agreement in full
settlement of this matter for which the Company received $50,000 in 2004. |
|
|
|
Claim against City of Providence for attorneys fees: |
|
|
|
In 1997, the City of Providence revalued certain of the Companys properties within the Capital
Center area and reached back six years to assess over $13,000,000 in back taxes, interest and
penalties on the properties based upon a retroactive increase in the assessed values. These
increases were not a part of a city-wide revaluation. The Company contended that this action by
the City was both unprecedented and illegal. |
23
In another action, the City claimed that the Company was not the owner of a certain parcel of land
in the Capital Center (Disputed Parcel), which the Company purchased in 1989 from the State of
Rhode Island subsequent to the States acquiring the parcel from the City. Moreover, the City
attempted to condemn the Disputed Parcel. The Company contested both the Citys claim of ownership
and the Citys attempt to condemn the Disputed Parcel.
In 1999, the Rhode Island Superior Court ruled in favor of the Company and found (1) that both the
Citys new tax assessments and back taxes were illegal and void, and (2) that the Company is the
rightful owner of the Disputed Parcel and that the City had no right to condemn same. The City
appealed the judgments to the Rhode Island Supreme Court, which denied and dismissed the Citys
appeal in 1999.
After prevailing on the merits, the Company made claim against the City for attorneys fees.
In 2000, the City filed a motion to vacate the Superior Court and Supreme Court judgments entered
in favor of the Company which motion the Superior Court denied and awarded the Company attorneys
fees of $258,000. The City filed an appeal in the Supreme Court which affirmed the judgment
against the City, and the Company received the payment from the City in 2004. No interest was
awarded on the judgment.

|
Description of leasing arrangements: |
|
|
|
As of December 31, 2006, the Company had entered into five long-term land leases for five separate
parcels upon which the improvements have been completed (developed parcels), including the lease
for the land under the parking garage discussed in Note 3. The Company has entered into two
additional long-term land leases (undeveloped parcels) with commencement dates of January 1, 2005
and May 1, 2005, respectively. Construction of the improvements has commenced on both parcels. |
|
|
|
Under the seven land leases, 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 and retained earnings. The real property taxes attributable to the Companys land under
these leases are as follows: |

Under the lease which commenced January 1, 2005, the tenant is entitled to a credit for future
rents equal to a portion of the real property taxes currently being paid by the tenant. For the
years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, the Company reported the portion of the real property
taxes subject to the future credit ($143,000, $143,000 and $234,000, respectively) as property tax
expense on the accompanying consolidated statements of income and retained earnings and as accrued
property taxes on its consolidated balance sheets. As the tenant makes the tax payment, the amount
of the payment is reclassified from accrued property taxes to deferred leasing revenues which
totaled $448,000 and $306,000 at December 31, 2006 and 2005, 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.
Prior to the commencement of the May 1, 2005 lease, the Company received option payments pursuant
to a month-to-month arrangement.
Under one of the long-term land leases, the Company receives contingent rentals (based upon a fixed
percentage of gross revenue received by the tenant) which totaled $62,000, $58,000 and $58,000 for
the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
The Company also leases various parcels of land for outdoor advertising purposes to Lamar under a
lease having a remaining term of 27 years. Effective June 1, 2006, the Company entered into an
Amended and Restated Agreement with Lamar which among other things provides the following: (1) the
base rent will increase annually in fixed increases of 2.75% for each leased billboard location
commencing June 1, 2006 and on each June 1 thereafter; and (2) in addition to base rent, for each
12-month period commencing each June 1, Lamar must pay to the Company the difference between 30% of
the gross revenues from each standard billboard (20% of the gross revenues from each electronic
billboard) for such 12-month period reduced by the sum of (a) commissions paid to third parties and
(b) the base monthly rent for each leased billboard display for such 12-month period (contingent
revenue). For the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, contingent revenues totaled
$78,000, $87,000 and $98,000, respectively. In all other respects, the lease remains substantially
unchanged.
24
The June 1, 2006 change in the contractual rental payments extended the turnaround date until 2022,
resulting in the Company concluding that it should not presently record a receivable resulting from
reporting leasing revenue on a straight-line basis. Accordingly, the Company reversed a previously
recorded receivable for accrued leasing revenue from Lamar of $159,000 and is not reporting as
leasing revenue any portion of the current excess of straight-line over contractual revenue.
At December 31, 2006, there are 25 locations under lease with 48 billboard faces. Of these
locations, 22 are controlled through easements and 3 are leased from third parties under operating
leases with remaining terms of one to nine years. In July 2005, another of the Companys operating
leases with a third party terminated since the Company had been unable to negotiate a renewal. The
Company sold the permit for this billboard to the former lessor for $100,000 in cash.
Minimum future contractual rental payments to be received from noncancellable long-term leases as
of December 31, 2006 are:

In the event of tenant default, the Company has the right to reclaim its leased land together with
any improvements thereon, subject to the right of any leasehold mortgagee to enter into a new lease
with the Company with the same terms and conditions as the lease in default.
The Company leases the undeveloped parcels of land in or adjacent to the Capital Center area for
public parking purposes to one tenant under short-term cancellable leases.

Effective May 2003, Global has an option to purchase the Facility at any time during the term of
the lease (other than the last year thereof) on the terms and conditions set forth in a separate
option agreement. Under a companion agreement, Global agreed to make certain improvements at the
Pier which totaled approximately $170,000, $110,000 and $300,000 for the years ended December 31,
2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. [See Wilkesbarre Pier below].
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 on the accompanying consolidated statement of income and retained earnings for the year
ended December 31, 2004. Through December 31, 2006, the Company has expended $118,000. RIDEM has
not taken any action on the Companys 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 Companys 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 Companys Terminal. However, in
the 1950s gasoline was stored on the Companys 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 Companys Terminal. The Company notified RIDEM. The Company will
continue to monitor RIDEMs 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.
Wilkesbarre Pier:
The Pier is a deep-water pier in East Providence, Rhode Island owned by the Company which is
integral to the operation of the Terminal. The Pier and the Terminal are connected by two
petroleum pipelines which the Company has a permanent right to use. In 1995, the Company and
Providence and Worcester Railroad Company (the Railroad) (the then owner of the Pier) entered
into an agreement which, among other things, gave the Company the right to acquire the Pier for One
Dollar ($1.00). The Company acquired the Pier from the Railroad in 1998. The Company and the
Railroad have a common controlling shareholder.
26
Since 2000, the Company has been involved in litigation with Getty Properties Corp. (Properties),
the owner of an adjacent petroleum storage facility and a party with a claimed interest in the
Pier, and Getty Petroleum Marketing, Inc. (Marketing), the lessee of Properties with respect to
the interest of Properties in the Pier and the obligations attendant thereto and concerning certain
obligations under agreements entered into between the Company, Properties and Marketing in 1997.
Among the issues litigated between the parties was the question of whether or not Properties and/or
Marketing was under an obligation to participate in the cost of the installation of certain fire
suppression equipment required by the Fire Department of the City of East Providence. It was the
position of the Company that Properties was obligated under certain agreements with the Railroad to
which the Company succeeded to participate in the payment. In December 2004, the United States
Court of Appeals for the First Circuit determined that Properties had no such obligation. In
another aspect of the litigation, the United States District Court determined that Properties had
the obligation to install an additional 16-inch pipeline on the Pier. The Company undertook the
installation in 2004 and in February 2005, Properties paid $394,000 for the installation.
The Company was also engaged in litigation with Properties over the question of whether either
party had the obligation to indemnify the other for litigation expenses incurred in the underlying
litigation with respect to the Pier pursuant to a 1986 Guaranty and Indemnity Agreement. In
February 2005, the Judge Magistrate of the United States District Court for the District of Rhode
Island recommended that the Court deny and dismiss all of the claims asserted by the parties in the
action. Both parties appealed that recommendation, and in September 2005, the Court denied and
dismissed all claims. Neither party appealed the Courts decision.

Shareholders equity: |
|
|
|
In December 2001, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to create three classes of $.01
par value stockClass A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock, and Excess Stock. The Company
converted the then outstanding 3,000,000 shares of $1.00 par value common shares into 3,000,000
shares of Class A Common Stock. In addition, the Company issued (in the form of a stock dividend)
299,956 shares of Class B Common Stock (one share for each ten shares of Class A Common Stock
held). No fractional Class B shares were issued. |
|
|
|
The amended Articles of Incorporation prohibited any shareholder from acquiring more than a 5%
interest in the Companys classes of common stock and prohibited the two shareholders who each
beneficially then owned in excess of 5% of the Companys classes of common stock from increasing
their percentage ownership of each class of common stock. The purpose of the amendment of the
Articles of Incorporation was to provide the Company with the necessary flexibility to qualify to
be taxed as a real estate investment trust (REIT). The amendment provided that if the Company
did not make an election to be taxed as a REIT on or before March 31, 2005, the restrictions on
share ownership would automatically lapse and shares of Class B Common Stock would automatically be
converted into shares of Class A Common Stock on a one for one basis. |
|
|
|
The Company did not make the election and on March 31, 2005, the shares of Class B Common Stock
were converted into shares of Class A Common Stock, resulting in the Company having 3,299,956
shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding. No Excess Stock was issued and it is no longer
authorized. |

|
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 pursuant to which the Company elected
to reduce the income tax basis of qualifying subsequent acquisitions, thereby avoiding paying
income taxes on the proceeds, subject to certain restrictions. The Companys 2004 income tax
returns made such election, thereby reducing its cash outlay for income taxes for 2004 by
approximately $570,000. Through December 31, 2006, 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. |
