PART I
Item 1. Description of 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. The Company’s corporate name was changed to Capital Properties, Inc. in 1984.
Business of Company
The Company owns approximately 18 acres of land in the Capital Center area in downtown Providence, Rhode Island which it leases or is holding for lease to third parties (see “Properties Under Long-Term Leases” and “Properties Under Short-Term Lease,” in Item 2 below). The Company is the largest single landowner in the Capital Center area but is nevertheless subject to some measure of competition from other landowners in the vicinity of the Company’s properties.
Through two of its subsidiaries, the Company owns and operates a petroleum storage facility in East Providence, Rhode Island with a present capacity of 835,000 barrels. The Company leases the facility to Global Companies, L.L.C., (Global) and operates the facility for Global. There are three other petroleum storage terminals in the Providence area, but the Company’s facility is the only independent facility with deep-water access.
The Company owns all of the outstanding capital stock and/or membership interests in the following companies:
    Tri-State Displays, Inc. (through which the Company leases land for billboards along interstate and primary highways for outdoor advertising purposes) (see “Outdoor Advertising Lease” in Item 2 below);
 
    Dunellen, LLC (through which the Company owns the petroleum storage facility in East Providence, Rhode Island) (see “Petroleum Storage Facility” in Item 2 below); and
 
    Capital Terminal Company (through which the Company operates its petroleum storage facility).
References hereinafter to the “Company” are, unless the context indicates otherwise, collectively to the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and its predecessors.
Miscellaneous
For information relating to the Company’s dependence on one or a few major customers, see Note 8 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 7 hereof.
During the last two years, no monies were expended by the Company and its subsidiaries on material research and development activities.

Compliance with federal, state and local provisions which have been enacted or adopted regulating the discharge of materials into the environment, or otherwise relating to the protection of the environment, has not had a material effect upon the capital expenditures and competitive position of the Company. However, certain ongoing costs are necessary due to the nature of the petroleum storage facility. See Note 5 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 7 hereof.
Employees
On December 31, 2005, the Company employed 10 full-time employees and 1 part-time employee.
Item 2. — Description of Property
Principal Facilities
The Company’s principal executive offices are located at its petroleum storage facility at 100 Dexter Road, East Providence, Rhode Island 02914.
Investment Policies and Investments in Real Estate
The Company has no established policy for the purchase of additional developed or undeveloped property. However, should suitable parcels become available in the general area of the Company’s current land holdings, the Company would consider such an acquisition depending on current levels of cash and the availability of financing and unused condemnation proceeds qualifying for deferred reinvestment under the Internal Revenue Code. Except in connection with the acquisition of real estate to be used for the conduct of its petroleum storage business, the Company does not intend to act as a developer with respect to any improvements constructed on land owned or hereafter acquired by the Company. The Company periodically invests its excess cash in United States government and governmental agency obligations maturing in not more than eighteen months.
Description of Real Estate and Operating Data
All the properties described below are owned in fee by the Company. There are no mortgages, liens or other encumbrances on such properties.
In the opinion of management, all of the properties described below are adequately covered by insurance. Insurance is also required of all tenants, with the Company being named as an insured.
All of the properties described below, which are located in the Capital Center area, are shown on a map in Exhibit 20.1 hereof, which map is incorporated herein by reference.
Properties Under Long-Term Leases - The Company owns approximately 18 acres of land within the Capital Center area in downtown Providence, Rhode Island.
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 but retained ownership of the underlying land which is leased for 99 years.
As of December 31, 2005, the Company had entered into land leases for four separate land parcels within this area upon which improvements have been completed (developed parcels), including the lease for the land under the parking garage discussed above, with remaining terms

of up to 138 years. These leases have scheduled rent increases over their terms. Improvements on the land subject to these leases and the lease terms are as follows:
    Parcel 3S — A 13-story office building containing approximately 235,000 square feet, which lease terminates in 2087.
 
    Parcel 5 — An 8-story apartment building containing approximately 454,000 square feet with 225 units, which lease terminates in 2142.
 
    Parcel 7A – A 330 car 2-story underground parking garage, which lease terminates in 2104.
 
    Parcel 8 — A 4-story office building containing approximately 114,000 square feet, which lease terminates in 2090.
The Company has entered into three additional land leases (undeveloped parcels) as follows:
    Parcel 9 — In April 2004, the Company’s lease with GTECH Corporation for 149 years commenced This lease has now been assigned to U. S. Real Estate Limited Partnership. In November 2004, construction of an office building which will contain approximately 210,000 square feet of office space and a parking garage with approximately 250 public parking spaces commenced on the parcel. This office building will house the American headquarters of GTECH.
 
    Parcel 2 — In May 2005, the Company entered into a lease for 103 years with an affiliate of Intercontinental Real Estate Corporation (Intercontinental). Construction of an underground 2-story 480-car garage covering the entire parcel commenced shortly thereafter. In addition, Intercontinental intends to construct two condominium towers containing 193 units. The parcel has sufficient space for two additional buildings for residential, hotel or office use.
 
    Parcel 6 — In 2002, the Company entered into a lease for 99 years under which the developer plans to construct several buildings containing a total of approximately 675,000 square feet of residential, office or retail space, and parking structures. The lease commenced January 1, 2005 and the developer anticipates breaking ground in March 2006.
Properties Under Short-Term Lease – Parcels 3E, 3W, 4E and 4W in the Capital Center area and Parcel 20 immediately adjacent to this area are leased for surface parking purposes. This lease can be terminated on short notice should suitable development opportunities arise. The Company continues to seek developers for these parcels.
Outdoor Advertising Lease – The Company, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, leases outdoor advertising locations along interstate and primary highways in Rhode Island and Massachusetts to Lamar Outdoor Advertising under a lease which expires in 2033. Presently, there are 25 locations under lease containing 48 billboard faces. The term of this lease is extended for two years for each additional location added. No new locations have been added since 2002.
Petroleum storage facility - The Company holds title to approximately 10 acres of land along the Seekonk River in East Providence, Rhode Island which are shown on a map in Exhibit 20.2 hereof, which map is incorporated herein by reference. The property is used and operated primarily as a petroleum storage facility (the Petroleum Facility).

In 1998, the Company purchased the Wilkesbarre Pier in the Port of Providence and its deep-water berth for receiving petroleum products by ocean-going vessels. In 1998, the Company also purchased the perpetual right to transport petroleum products from the Pier to its terminal property through pipelines owned by a third party.
The Petroleum Facility is the only independent petroleum storage facility with deep-water access in the market area. All of the petroleum storage tanks, buildings and pier are owned by the Company.
In 1998, the Company entered into a short-term arrangement with Global under which the Company operates the entire Petroleum Facility for Global. In 1999, the Company entered into an agreement with Global extending the arrangement for an additional three years and in 2000, the agreement was further extended to April 30, 2004. In June 2003, the agreement was further amended (Amended Agreement) and will now expire April 30, 2013; however, the Amended Agreement will continue thereafter on a year-to-year basis unless terminated by either party upon ninety days’ written notice. Global may terminate the Amended Agreement on or after April 30, 2008, upon one year’s written notice. Global was also granted the option to purchase the Petroleum Facility at any time during the term of the Amended Agreement under certain terms and conditions set forth in an option agreement.
The following schedule sets forth certain information on the federal income tax basis of that portion of the Petroleum Facility which is depreciable:

Effective April 1, 2005, all of the Company’s Class B Common Stock was converted into Class A Common Stock as required by the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, as amended, at which time the Company listed the converted shares on the American Stock Exchange. Information with respect to the high and low trading prices for the Class B Common Stock prior to its conversion was not available because the stock was not listed on any exchange, was not quoted by any quotation service, and there was no known market for such Class B Common Stock.
At March 1, 2006, there were 389 holders of record of the Company’s Class A Common Stock.
In 2004, the Company paid a dividend of $99,000 each quarter to holders of Class A and Class B Common Stock at the rate of $.03 per share per quarter. In addition, in December 2004, the Company paid a special dividend of $594,000 to holders of Class A and Class B Common Stock at the rate of $.18 per share. In the first quarter of 2005, the Company paid a dividend of $99,000 to holders of Class A and Class B Common Stock at the rate of $.03 per share. In the second, third and fourth quarters of 2005, the Company paid a dividend of $99,000 to holders of Class A Common Stock at the rate of $.03 per share per quarter. The declaration of future dividends and the amount thereof will depend on the Company’s future earnings, financial factors and other events.
The Company does not have any compensation plans under which its equity securities are authorized for issuance.

Item 6. Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operations
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain portions of this report, and particularly the Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan 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 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 management’s 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 Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 7 hereof. Not all of these significant accounting policies require management to make difficult, subjective or complex judgments or estimates. Management believes that the Company’s revenue recognition policy for long-term leases with scheduled rent increases (leasing segment) meets the SEC definition of “critical.”
Certain of the Company’s 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 (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

7


Table of Contents

should record a receivable that would not begin to be collected for 56 years (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 Company’s 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, 2005, the receivable on this lease has grown to approximately $15,768,000 (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 40 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, 2005, the receivable on this lease is approximately $4,153,000 (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 93 years away.
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 become closer.
By contrast, the Company’s long-term lease for outdoor advertising locations had an original term of 30 years, scheduled rent increases where the future dollar increases were known at the time of the commencement of the lease, and a turnaround date in the 9th year. In this instance, management is of the opinion that the receivable is collectible due to the closeness of the turnaround date and other factors. Accordingly, the Company has recognized leasing revenue using the annual straight-line amount in its consolidated financial statements since the inception of the lease.
Although the Company’s 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 Audit Committee of the Board of Directors concurs with the Company’s 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 facility.
Leasing:
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

Table of Contents

leases. The Company owns approximately 18 acres in the Capital Center consisting of 11 individual parcels, as shown on a map in Exhibit 20.1 hereof. 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 1980’s in which two rivers, the Moshassuck and the Woonasquatucket, were moved, 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.
As part of the construction of the Railroad Station, the Federal Railroad Administration constructed a 330-car parking garage on the Company’s 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. 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. At the end of the lease period or any extension thereof, the tenant will surrender the parking garage to the Company, in good order, condition and repair, ordinary wear and tear and damage by fire or unavoidable casualty excepted. Consistent with other long-term land leases, the tenant assumed the payment of the real property taxes on the land. The lease further provides for future cost-of-living rental adjustments and periodic appraisals.
The sale of the parking garage while retaining title to the underlying land is consistent with the Company’s policy not to act as a developer with respect to improvements constructed on land that it currently owns or may hereafter acquire.
The Company first began offering parcels for lease in the late 1980’s. As of December 31, 2005, four 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, a 225-unit luxury apartment complex, a 114,000 square foot office building and the parking garage.
Long-term leases commenced April 1, 2004, January 1, 2005 and May 1, 2005 on three of the remaining parcels (undeveloped parcels). On one of these parcels, a 10-story office building containing 210,000 square feet is under construction and is expected to be completed in November 2006. On a second parcel, an underground parking garage and two buildings containing 193 condominiums are under construction with an expected completion date in the fall of 2007. Construction on the third undeveloped parcel has not commenced.
While seeking developers, the Company also leases various parcels of land in or adjacent to the Capital Center area for public parking purposes.
Additionally, 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 under a lease which expires in 2033. Presently, there are 25 locations under lease containing 48 billboard faces. Of these locations, 22 are owned by the Company, and 3 are leased by the Company from third parties under leases with original terms of one to eleven 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. In July 2005, another of the Company’s leases with a third party terminated since the Company had been unable to negotiate a renewal. In July 2005, the Company sold the permit for this billboard to the former lessor for $100,000 in cash, and this location was removed from the Lamar lease. For 2004, the leasing revenue (including contingent rent) from this location was $50,000 and the lease expense was $11,000.

Petroleum storage facility:
The Company, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, owns a petroleum storage facility (the Petroleum Facility) located in East Providence, Rhode Island with a current capacity of 835,000 barrels. The Petroleum Facility utilizes the Company’s Wilkesbarre Pier and a pipeline connecting the Wilkesbarre Pier to the Petroleum Facility. The Company (through this wholly-owned subsidiary) and Global Companies, LLC (Global) are parties to an agreement whereby the Company (through another wholly-owned subsidiary) operates the entire Petroleum Facility for Global at a fixed monthly fee which is subject to annual cost-of-living adjustments. The agreement 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 agreement on or after April 30, 2008, upon one year’s written notice. The agreement includes provisions for additional payments based upon throughput in any twelve-month period beginning on May 1 of each year and ending on April 30 of the subsequent year and for certain increases in real property taxes. The Company bears all of the operating costs with respect to the Petroleum Facility, including real estate taxes and insurance. In addition, Global was granted an option to purchase the Petroleum Facility at any time during the term of the agreement under the terms and conditions set forth in an option agreement.
As described in Note 5 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 7 hereof, the Company was in litigation (Wilkesbarre Pier litigation) with Getty Petroleum Marketing, Inc. and Getty Properties Corp. over the rights of others to utilize the Wilkesbarre Pier. During 2003, the Company settled all litigation with Getty Petroleum Marketing, Inc. In October 2003, the Company appealed to the U. S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit the inconsistent judgments concerning whether the Company or Getty Properties Corp. was responsible for the cost of the fire suppression equipment at the Pier. In December 2004, the Company’s appeal was denied.
In 1994, a leak was discovered in a 25,000 barrel storage tank at the Petroleum Facility 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 whereby 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, and the Company continues to work with RIDEM to design an acceptable system. 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, 2005, the Company has expended $90,000. The Company expects the system to be installed during the second quarter of 2006. 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. The Company anticipates that the remediation process will be completed by the second quarter of 2007. 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 Petroleum Facility, the Company’s consultant discovered free floating phase product in a groundwater monitoring well located on that portion of the Petroleum Facility purchased in 2000. Preliminary laboratory analysis indicated that the product was gasoline, which is not a product the Company ever stored at its Petroleum Facility. However, in the 1950’s gasoline was stored on the Company’s property by a predecessor owner.

Table of Contents

The Company commenced an environmental investigation and analysis, the results of which indicate that the gasoline did not come from the Company’s Petroleum Facility. The Company notified RIDEM. The Company will continue to monitor RIDEM’s investigation of this contamination to ensure that the responsible party addresses this contamination.
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. This situation does not affect current operations at the Petroleum Facility.
The Company maintains what management believes to be adequate levels of insurance. The Company notified its insurance company of the contamination. The insurance company advised the Company that coverage is only provided under policies in place at the time the contamination occurs.
In each of 2004 and 2005, the Company constructed a 152,000 barrel tank. The Company has entered into a contract to construct a 175,000 barrel tank at an estimated remaining cost of $2,000,000. Construction will commence in March 2006 and the tank is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2006. This will conclude the development of the land currently owned by the Company at its Petroleum Facility.
The Company manages its exposure to contamination, remediation or similar costs associated with the Petroleum Facility through adherence to established procedures for operations and equipment maintenance.
Changes in capital structure:
In December 2001, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to create three classes of $.01 par value stock—Class 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 Company’s classes of common stock and prohibited the two shareholders who each beneficially then owned in excess of 5% of the Company’s 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, and the Excess Stock is no longer authorized.
2. Results of operations:
Leasing segment:
As discussed above, in March 2005 the Company sold its parking garage for $2,500,000,

11


Table of Contents

resulting in a gain of $1,057,000, and in July 2005 the Company sold a billboard permit, resulting in a gain of $100,000.
In 1997, the City of Providence revalued certain of the Company’s properties within the Capital Center area, reaching back six years to assess over $13,000,000 in back taxes, interest and penalties based upon a retroactive increase in the assessed values. The Company contended that this action by the City was both unprecedented and illegal. In another action, the City claimed that the Company was not the owner of a certain parcel in the Capital Center and also attempted to condemn that parcel. The Company contested both of the City’s actions. In 1999, after prevailing on the merits in both actions, the Company made claim against the City for attorneys fees. In 2000, the Company was awarded attorneys fees of $258,000. The City filed an appeal in the Rhode Island 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.
Exclusive of the $1,057,000 gain on the sale of the parking garage and the $100,000 gain from the sale of the billboard permit in 2005 and the $258,000 for the attorneys fee judgment in 2004, revenues and other income from leasing for 2005 decreased $386,000 from 2004. Prior to the commencement of the long-term land leases in 2004 and 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) but the tenant directly pays the real property taxes, resulting in a decrease in real property tax expense for 2005 of $752,000 from 2004. The net effect of the above is the principal reason for the increase to income before income taxes of the leasing segment for the year ended December 31, 2005.
Petroleum storage facility segment:
Revenue from the petroleum storage facility for 2005 increased $475,000 from 2004 due principally to fees for the new 152,000 barrel tank effective October 2004 and higher monthly fees resulting from the annual cost-of-living adjustment.
In 2004, the Company recorded $200,000 of remediation costs associated with the 1994 leak. 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, resulting in an overall decrease in expenses applicable to petroleum storage facility of $163,000 in 2005 from 2004.
General:
As described in Note 3 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 7, certain of the Company’s property adjacent to Amtrak’s Northeast Corridor in Providence, Rhode Island was condemned by Amtrak in 1999 and 2001. The Company believed that the amounts paid by Amtrak were inadequate and made a claim for additional condemnation proceeds. In 2002, the U. S. District Court for the District of Rhode Island awarded the Company additional damages of $1,378,000 plus interest. In 2003, Amtrak appealed the decision to the U. S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit. The First Circuit affirmed the judgment of the U. S. District Court and in 2004, the Company received a payment of $1,622,000.
Interest income for 2005 increased $72,000 from 2004 resulting from higher levels of cash available for short-term investments.

Table of Contents

General and administrative expenses increased $178,000 from 2004 due to the following: (1) professional fees incurred in an assessment of the Company’s risk insurance needs; (2) higher payroll and related costs; (3) higher directors’ fees; (4) costs associated with the conversion of the Class B common stock to Class A common stock; and (5) expenses associated with responding to a tender offer to acquire up to 285,000 shares of Company’s stock which commenced May 2, 2005 and ended June 13, 2005, at which time the tender offeror acquired 9,675 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock.
Liquidity:
Historically, the Company has had adequate liquidity to fund its operations.
Under the land leases for undeveloped parcels, developers made option payments. Under one lease, the developer made a $100,000 option payment in December 2003, which option terminated March 31, 2004. This lease commenced April 1, 2004, under the terms of which the Company receives an annual contractual rental of $100,000 during the eight-year construction and lease-up phases, and the tenant commenced paying real property taxes at a current annual rate of $232,000.
A second land lease for an undeveloped parcel commenced January 1, 2005, under the terms of which the Company receives an annual contractual rental equal to the option revenue it was previously receiving ($24,000), during the thirty-month construction phase, and the tenant commenced paying real property taxes at a current annual rate of $518,000. Starting in 2010, the tenant will receive a credit against future rentals for real property taxes paid as follows: 2004, $234,000; 2005, $143,000; and 2006, $143,000.
Under a third land lease for an undeveloped parcel, the Company received option payments equal to the real property taxes, which option terminated April 30, 2005. This lease commenced May 1, 2005, under the terms of which the Company receives an annual contractual rental of $36,000 during the thirty-six month construction phase, and the tenant commenced paying real property taxes at a current rate of $243,000.
Under another long-term land lease which commenced in 1988, the tenant advised the Company that its sub-tenant would vacate the entire building by December 31, 2004, and the Company’s tenant failed to find a suitable replacement sub-tenant for the building. In December 2004, the tenant filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code but continued to pay the contractual rent in full. In May 2005, the tenant’s secured lender, the Employees Retirement System of Rhode Island (ERS), a Rhode Island state agency, took control of the property at issue and continued to pay the contractual rent under the lease. ERS filed a plan of reorganization (the Plan) for the tenant that provided for the sale of the tenant’s property by auction. ERS’s nominee, a special purpose entity capitalized by ERS, submitted the winning bid for the tenant’s property. In September 2005, the Bankruptcy Court confirmed the Plan, which provides for the assignment of the lease to ERS’s nominee, Gateway Holdings, LLC, which took possession of the tenant’s property on November 7, 2005, the effective date of the Plan. The lease provided for a scheduled annual rent increase of $46,000 based upon a cost-of-living adjustment which became effective in February 2005. The building has been sub-leased for three years. As of December 31, 2005, all rent and tax payments are current.
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 whereby the Company may elect to reduce the income tax basis of qualifying subsequent acquisitions, which results in the Company’s not currently 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. However, the

13


Table of Contents

Company will be required to reinvest the condemnation proceeds in qualifying assets by December 31, 2007, or then pay the income tax on the unexpended proceeds. In 2004, the Company purchased qualifying assets totaling $216,000.
In 2004, the Company constructed a 152,000 barrel tank at a total cost of $1,226,000 paid for in cash. Effective October 15, 2004, Global commenced using the tank at a monthly fee of $35,000, subject to annual cost-of-living adjustments. The Company painted the tank in September 2005 at a cost of $92,000. In 2005, the Company constructed a 152,000 barrel tank at a total cost of $1,688,000 paid for in cash. Effective December 15, 2005, Global commenced using the tank at a monthly fee of $36,000, resulting in a current total monthly fee of $227,000, subject to annual cost-of-living adjustments. In November 2005, the Company entered into a contract to construct a 175,000 barrel tank at an estimated remaining cost of $2,000,000. Construction will commence in March 2006 and the tank is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2006. The Company presently intends to pay for the tank from available cash. When completed, Global will include this new tank under the existing Amended Agreement at a monthly fee of approximately $42,000, subject to annual cost-of-living adjustments.
Regulations of the Department of Homeland Security required the Company to secure the Petroleum Facility (including the Wilkesbarre Pier) against possible threats by the installation of fences, barricades and similar items in 2004. The Company cannot predict what additional expenses it may incur in the future to maintain required security levels.
As discussed in Note 5 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 7, in 2003, the remaining non-jury claims in the litigation with Getty were tried and the Court ordered Getty Properties Corp. to install a new sixteen-inch pipeline on the Pier for the Company’s use and benefit. Pursuant to an agreement with Getty Properties Corp. in the fall of 2004, the Company installed the pipeline at a cost of $394,000. The Company received payment from Getty Properties Corp. in February 2005.
Other than the 175,000 barrel tank to be constructed in 2006 and the painting of two tanks in 2007 at an estimated cost of $225,000, remaining commitments for the purchase of properties and equipment are immaterial.
In March 2006, the Company anticipates a cash outlay for 2005 federal and state income taxes of approximately $682,000 plus the first estimated installment on 2006 federal and state income taxes of approximately $300,000.
In 2004, the Company paid a dividend of $99,000 each quarter to holders of Class A and Class B Common Stock at the rate of $.03 per share per quarter. In addition, in December 2004, the Company paid a special dividend of $594,000 to holders of Class A and Class B Common Stock at the rate of $.18 per share. In January 2005, the Company paid a quarterly dividend of $99,000 to holders of both classes of stock. On April 1, 2005, Class B Common Stock was converted into Class A Common Stock. In May, August and November 2005, the Company paid a quarterly dividend of $99,000 to holders of its Class A Common Stock. 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.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED
PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Board of Directors
Capital Properties, Inc.
East Providence, Rhode Island
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Capital Properties, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2005, and the related consolidated statements of income and retained earnings, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2005. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s 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 Company’s 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, 2005, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2005, in conformity with U. S. generally accepted accounting principles.

CAPITAL PROPERTIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2005 AND 2004
1.   Basis of presentation and summary of significant accounting policies:
 
    Basis of presentation and principles of consolidation:
 
    The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Capital Properties, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Tri-State Displays, Inc., Capital Terminal Company and Dunellen, LLC (collectively referred to as “the Company”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain amounts on the accompanying consolidated statement of income and retained earnings for the year ended December 31, 2004 have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
 
    Description of business:
 
    The Company operates in two segments: (1) the leasing of certain of its real estate interests in downtown Providence, Rhode Island, and locations along interstate and primary highways in Rhode Island and Massachusetts for outdoor advertising purposes; and (2) the operation of its petroleum storage facility (the Petroleum Facility) in East Providence, Rhode Island.
 
    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.
 
    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, 2005, cash equivalents consisted of an overnight uninsured sweep with the Company’s principal bank totaling $3,936,000.
 
    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.
 
    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.

19


Table of Contents

    Leasing and option revenue:
 
    The Company’s properties leased to others are under operating leases. The Company reports leasing revenue when earned under the operating method.
 
    Certain of the Company’s long-term land leases, including the outdoor advertising locations, provide for presently known scheduled rent increases over the terms (30 to 149 years). In accordance with the provisions of FAS No. 13 (Accounting for Leases) and certain of its interpretations, the Company is recognizing 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.
 
    The Company reports option revenue when earned.
 
    Petroleum storage facility revenue:
 
    The Company reports revenue from the operations of the petroleum storage facility when earned.
 
    Contingent revenue:
 
    The Company reports contingent revenue in the period in which the factors occur on which the contingent payments are based.
 
    Litigation and condemnation income:
 
    The Company reports income resulting from litigation and condemnations in the period in which the cash is received.
 
    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.
 
    Income taxes:
 
    The Company and its subsidiaries file consolidated income tax returns.
 
    The Company provides for income taxes based on income reported for financial statement 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.

2.   Properties and equipment:

    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 carrying 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 cost-of-living rental adjustments and periodic appraisals.
 
    In November 2005, the Company entered into a contract to construct a 175,000 barrel tank at a remaining cost of $2,000,000. Construction will commence in the first quarter of 2006. The Company anticipates that the tank will be completed in the third quarter of 2006.
 
3.   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 carrying 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 (U. S. District Court) seeking additional compensation. In 2002, the U. S. District 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 U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit. The First Circuit affirmed the judgment of the U.S. 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 Company’s 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 (the City) revalued certain of the Company’s properties within the Capital Center area in downtown Providence, Rhode Island, 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.
 
    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 State’s acquiring the parcel from the City. Moreover, the City attempted to condemn the Disputed Parcel. The Company contested both the City’s claim of ownership and the City’s attempt to condemn the Disputed Parcel.
 
    In 1999, the Rhode Island Superior Court (Superior Court) ruled in favor of the Company and found (1) that both the City’s 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 (Supreme Court), which denied and dismissed the City’s 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.
 
4.   Description of leasing arrangements:
 
    As of December 31, 2005, the Company had entered into four long-term land leases for four separate parcels upon which the improvements have been completed (developed parcels), including the lease for the land under the parking garage discussed in Note 2. The Company has entered into three additional long-term land leases (undeveloped parcels) with commencement dates of April 1, 2004, January 1, 2005, and May 1, 2005, respectively. Construction of the improvements has commenced on two of the three parcels.
 
    For those leases with presently known scheduled rent increases, the cumulative excess of straight-line over contractual rentals (considering scheduled rent increases over the 30 to 149 year terms of the leases) amounted to $21,918,000 through December 31, 2005. Management has concluded that a portion of the excess of straight-line over contractual rentals ($232,000 at December 31, 2005) is realizable when payable over the terms of the leases.
 
    Under the seven land leases which have commenced, the tenants are required to pay the City for real property taxes, which amounts are excluded from leasing revenues and expenses applicable to leasing on the accompanying consolidated statements of income and retained earnings. The real property taxes attributable to the Company’s land under these leases totaled $1,277,000

22


Table of Contents

    (seven leases) for the year ended December 31, 2005, and $488,000 (four leases) for the year ended December 31, 2004.
 
    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 tax expense currently being paid by the tenant. For the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company reported the portion of the real property taxes subject to the future credit ($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 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 $306,000 at December 31, 2005. 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 approximately $58,000 for each of the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004.
 
    The Company also leases various parcels of land for outdoor advertising purposes to Lamar Outdoor Advertising (Lamar) under a lease having a remaining term of 28 years. Presently, there are 25 locations under lease with 48 billboard faces. Of these locations, 22 are owned by the Company and 3 are leased by the Company from third parties under operating leases with original terms of 1 to 11 years. In July 2005, another of the Company’s operating leases with a third party terminated since the Company had been unable to negotiate a renewal, and the Company sold the permit for this billboard to the former lessor for $100,000 in cash.
 
    The Lamar lease also provides that the Company receive contingent rentals based upon a fixed percentage of the total annual revenue received by Lamar provided such revenue exceeds the contractual base payment. Contingent rental revenues totaled $87,000 and $98,000 for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
 
    Minimum future contractual rental payments to be received from noncancellable long-term leases as of December 31, 2005 are:
Year ending December 31,
         
2006
  $ 1,992,000

5.   Petroleum storage facility:
 
    Current operations:
 
    The Company and Global Companies, L.L.C. (Global) are parties to an agreement whereby the Company operates the entire Petroleum Facility for Global. The Company is responsible for labor, insurance, property taxes and other operating expenses, as well as capital improvements.
 
    In May 2003, the Company and Global entered into an amended and restated lease agreement (Amended Agreement) which, among other things, provides as follows: (1) the Amended Agreement will expire April 30, 2013, but will continue thereafter on a year-to-year basis unless terminated by either party upon ninety days’ written notice; (2) Global may terminate the Amended Agreement on or after April 30, 2008, upon one year’s written notice; (3) Global will pay a monthly fee of $150,000 effective May 1, 2004, subject to annual cost-of-living adjustments; (4) Global will reimburse the Company for certain increases in real property taxes over the 2002 level; and (5) the Company will receive an additional $.10 per barrel for every barrel in excess of 4,000,000 barrels of throughput in any agreement year.
 
    For the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company earned contingent revenues of $123,000 and $140,000, respectively.
 
    In October 2004, the Company completed construction of a 152,000 barrel tank which Global immediately leased at a monthly fee of $35,000, increasing Global’s monthly fee to $185,000. On May 1, 2005, the scheduled cost-of-living adjustment resulted in an increased monthly fee of $191,000. In December 2005, the Company completed the construction of another 152,000 barrel tank which Global immediately leased at a monthly fee of $36,000, increasing Global’s total present monthly fee to $227,000.
 
    In October 2005, the Company and Global entered into the First Amendment to the Amended Agreement whereby Global agreed to include the 175,000 barrel tank to be constructed in 2006 (see Note 2) under the existing Amended Agreement at a monthly fee of approximately $42,000.
 
    Also effective May 2003, Global was granted the option to purchase the Petroleum Facility at any time during the term of the Amended Agreement under the terms and conditions set forth in an option agreement. In a separate but related agreement, Global agreed to make certain improvements at the Wilkesbarre Pier which totaled approximately $110,000 and $300,000 for the years ended December 31, 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 Petroleum Facility 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 whereby 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, and the Company continues to work with RIDEM to design an acceptable system. The consulting engineers estimated a total cost of

24


Table of Contents

    $200,000 to design, install and operate the system, which amount was included in expenses applicable to petroleum storage facility on the accompanying consolidated statement of income and retained earnings for the year ended December 31, 2004. Through December 31, 2005, the Company has expended $90,000. The Company expects the system to be installed during the second quarter of 2006. 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. The Company anticipates that the remediation process will be completed by the second quarter of 2007. 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 Petroleum Facility, the Company’s consultant discovered free floating phase product in a groundwater monitoring well located on that portion of the Petroleum Facility purchased in 2000. Preliminary laboratory analysis indicated that the product was gasoline, which is not a product the Company ever stored at its Petroleum Facility. 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 Petroleum Facility. The Company notified RIDEM. The Company will continue to monitor RIDEM’s investigation of this contamination to ensure that the responsible party addresses this contamination.
 
    Since 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):
 
    The Pier is a deep-water pier in East Providence, Rhode Island owned by the Company which is integral to the operation of the Petroleum Facility. The Pier and the Petroleum Facility are connected by two petroleum pipelines. 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.
 
    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.

Table of Contents

    The Company was 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 Court’s decision.
 
6.   Shareholders’ equity:
 
    In December 2001, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to create three classes of $.01 par value stock—Class 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 Company’s classes of common stock and prohibited the two shareholders who each beneficially then owned in excess of 5% of the Company’s 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, and the Excess Stock is no longer authorized.
 
7.   Income taxes:
 
    In 2004, the Company received condemnation proceeds from Amtrak 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. During 2004, the Company made qualifying acquisitions totaling $216,000. Accordingly, the income tax provision for the year ended December 31, 2004 reflected such election.
 
    A reconciliation of the income tax provision as computed by applying the United States income tax rate (34%) to income before income taxes is as follows:
                 
    2005     2004  
Computed “expected” tax
  $ 937,000     $ 874,000  
Increase (decrease) in “expected” tax resulting from:
               
State income tax, net of Federal income tax benefit
    165,000       160,000  
Statutory and other
    (9,000 )     (24,000 )
 
           
 
  $ 1,093,000     $ 1,010,000

    Deferred income taxes are recorded based upon differences between financial statement and tax carrying amounts of assets and liabilities. The tax effects of temporary differences which give rise to deferred tax assets and liabilities at December 31, 2005 were as follows:
         
Gross deferred tax liabilities:
       
Property having a financial statement basis in excess of tax basis
  $ 4,373,000  
Condemnation proceeds
    484,000  
Accrued leasing revenues
    93,000

    5,012,000  
Gross deferred tax assets
    (367,000 )
 
     
 
  $ 4,645,000  
 
     
8.   Operating segment disclosures:
 
    The Company operates in two segments: (1) Leasing and (2) Petroleum storage facility.
 
    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 the parking garage, and to pay real property taxes) and 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 Facility segment consists of the operating of the Petroleum Facility in East Providence under an Amended Agreement effective May 1, 2003, that expires in 2013 at a fixed monthly rate for Global which stores and distributes petroleum products. The Amended Agreement includes provisions to extend and additional payments based upon throughput. (See Note 5).
 
    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 Petroleum Facility.
 
    The Company makes decisions relative to the allocation of resources and evaluates performance based on income before income taxes, excluding interest income, condemnation proceeds and certain corporate expenses.
 
    Inter-segment revenues are immaterial in amount. The Company did not incur interest expense during the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004.
 
    The following financial information is used for making operating decisions and assessing performance of the Company’s segments:
