CAPITAL PROPERTIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2014 AND 2013

(Unaudited)

1. Description of business:

Capital Properties, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Tri-State Displays, Inc., Capital Terminal Company and Dunellen, LLC (collectively referred to as “the Company”), operate in two segments, leasing and petroleum storage.

The leasing segment consists of (i) 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 Parcels 6B and 6C), (ii) the leasing of a portion of its building (“Steeple Street Building”) under short-term leasing arrangements and (iii) 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 under short-term leasing arrangements to Metropark, Ltd. (“Metropark”).

The petroleum storage segment consists of operating the petroleum storage terminal (the “Terminal”) containing 1,004,000 shell barrels and the Wilkesbarre Pier (the “Pier”), both of which are owned by the Company and are collectively referred to as the “Facility,” located in East Providence, Rhode Island, for Sprague Operating Resources LLC (“Sprague”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sprague Resources LP, which stores and distributes petroleum products.

The principal difference between the two segments relates to the nature of the operations. In the leasing segment, the tenants under long-term land leases incur substantially all of the development and operating costs of the assets constructed on the Company’s land, including the payment of real property taxes on both the land and any improvements constructed thereon. In the petroleum storage segment, the Company is responsible for the operating and maintenance expenditures as well as capital improvements at the Facility.

2. Principles of consolidation and basis of presentation:

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

The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2013, has been derived from audited financial statements and the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. It is suggested that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s latest Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of September 30, 2014, the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, and the cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

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

Initial direct agreement costs:

Initial direct agreement costs associated with the execution of a rental agreement are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the non-cancellable portion of the term.

6

Environmental incidents:

The Company accrues a liability when an environmental incident has occurred and the costs are estimable. The Company does not record a receivable for recoveries from third parties for environmental matters until it has determined that the amount of the collection is reasonably assured. The accrued liability is relieved when the Company pays the liability or a third party assumes the liability. Upon determination that collection is reasonably assured or a third party assumes the liability, the Company records the amount as a reduction of expense.

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 or used by the Company.

New accounting standards:

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”). ASU 2014-09 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements of FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 605, Revenue Recognition and most industry-specific guidance throughout the Accounting Standards Codification, resulting in the creation of FASB ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2014-09 requires entities to recognize revenue in a way that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. This ASU provides alternative methods of retrospective adoption and is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact of adopting this ASU on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

3. Use of estimates:

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements. Estimates also affect the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

4. Properties and equipment:

Properties and equipment consists of the following:

	September 30,		December 31,
	2014		2013

	$	19,989,000	$	20,526,000

5. Notes payable:

Bank loan:

In 2012, the Company and the Bank entered into an Amended and Restated Loan Agreement (“Loan Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company refinanced the $2,700,000 remaining balance of a 2010 debt to the Bank and borrowed an additional $3,015,000. The loan bears interest at the annual rate of 3.34% for the first five years. Thereafter, the note will bear interest on either (a) a floating rate basis at LIBOR plus 215 basis points with a floor

7

of 3.25% or (b) a fixed rate of 225 basis points over the five-year Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston Classic Advance Rate, which the Company will select at that time. The loan has a term of ten years with repayments on a 20-year amortization schedule (monthly principal payments of $24,000 plus interest) and a balloon payment due in December 2022 when the loan matures. The Loan Agreement requires the Company to maintain at the Bank unencumbered liquid assets (cash or marketable securities) of $1,000,000. The Loan Agreement further contains customary covenants, terms and conditions and permits prepayment, in whole or in part, at any time without penalty if the prepayment is made from internally generated funds. As collateral for the loan, the Company granted the Bank a mortgage on Parcels 3S and 5 in the Capital Center.

In June 2014, the Company made a principal prepayment of $1,000,000. As a result of this prepayment, the balloon payment due in December 2022 is $1,863,000

Financing fees totaling $71,000 are being amortized by the straight-line method over the 10-year term of the note (which approximates the effective interest rate method). Amortization of deferred financing fees is included in interest expense on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, deferred financing fees are $59,000 and $64,000, respectively, which are included in prepaid and other on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Dividend notes:

In 2012, the Company issued $11,787,000 in principal face amount of 5% dividend notes due December 26, 2022 (the “Dividend Notes”). The Dividend Notes are unsecured general obligations of the Company bearing interest at the annual rate of 5% payable semi-annually on June 15 and December 15 to note holders of record on June 1 and December 1 of each year. The Dividend Notes may be redeemed in whole or in part at any time and from time to time at the option of the Company. The Dividend Notes are subject to mandatory redemption in an amount equal to the Net Proceeds from the sale of any real property owned by the Company or any of its subsidiaries. Net Proceeds is defined as the gross cash received by the Company from any such sale reduced by the sum of (a) costs relating to the sale, (b) federal and state income taxes as a result of the sale, and (c) the amount used by the Company to pay in whole or in part financial institution debts secured by a mortgage of the Company’s or any subsidiary’s real property regardless of whether such mortgage encumbers the property sold. The Company has obligated itself not to grant any mortgages on any of its property located in the Capitol Center District in Providence, Rhode Island, other than Parcels 3S and 5, and to cause its subsidiaries not to grant any such mortgages, in each case without the consent of the holders of two-thirds of the outstanding principal face amount of the Dividend Notes. The Dividend Notes contain other customary terms and conditions.

6. Description of leasing arrangements:

Long-term land leases:

As of September 30, 2014, the Company had entered into nine long-term land leases. Of the nine parcels, seven have had improvements constructed thereon.

Under the nine land leases, the tenants are required to negotiate any tax stabilization treaties or other arrangements, appeal any changes in real property assessments, and pay real property taxes assessed on land and improvements under these arrangements. Accordingly, real property taxes payable by the tenants are excluded from leasing revenues and leasing expenses on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The real property taxes attributable to the Company’s land under these leases totaled $322,000 and $966,000, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, and $241,000 and $889,000, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013.

In 2012, the Company entered into three amended and restated leases, each for a portion of the original Parcel 6 (Parcels 6A, 6B and 6C). All three leases have an initial term of approximately 95 years with two renewal terms of fifty years each. With respect to the Parcel 6B and 6C leases, an affiliate of the leasehold mortgagee had guaranteed the payment by the tenants of rent and real property taxes as well as certain other tenant monetary obligations for a two-year period which terminated May 18, 2014. Thereafter, the lessees of Parcels 6B and 6C each has the right to terminate its lease at any time during the remaining term of that lease upon thirty days’ notice. To date, no notice of termination has been received by the Company. The current annual rent on Parcel 6B is $194,000. Rent commences on Parcel 6C on July 1, 2015.

Short-term leases:

The Company leases the undeveloped parcels of land in or adjacent to the Capital Center area for public parking purposes to Metropark under a short-term cancellable lease.

8

At September 30, 2014, the Company has three tenants occupying 56 percent of the Steeple Street Building under short-term leases of five years or less at a current annual rental of $123,000. The Company is recognizing the revenue from these leases on a straight-line basis over the terms of the leases. At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the excess of straight-line over contractual rentals is $7,000 and $10,000, respectively, which is included in prepaid and other on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company also reports as revenue from tenants reimbursements for common area costs and real property taxes. The Company is currently marketing the remaining portions of the building for lease.

Lamar lease:

The Company, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, leases 23 outdoor advertising locations containing 44 billboard faces along interstate and primary highways in Rhode Island and Massachusetts to Lamar under a lease which expires in 2045. In 2013, Lamar converted billboards at two locations to electronic billboards, which conversions extended the term of the lease for a total of twelve years. The Lamar lease also provides, among other things, for the following: (1) the base rent will increase annually at the rate of 2.75% for each leased billboard location on June 1 of each year, and (2) in addition to base rent, for each 12-month period commencing each June 1, Lamar must pay to the Company within thirty days after the close of the lease year 30% of the gross revenues from each standard billboard and 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) base monthly rent for each leased billboard display for each 12-month period. For the lease years ended May 31, 2014 and 2013, the percentage rents totaled $173,000 and $105,000, respectively, which amounts are included in leasing revenues on the accompanying statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013.

7. Petroleum storage facility and environmental incidents:

Leasing of the Facility:

For the period May 1, 1998 to April 30, 2013, the Company and Global Companies, LLC (“Global”) were parties to a lease agreement pursuant to which the Company operated the entire Facility for Global. The Company was responsible for labor, insurance, a portion of the real property taxes and other operating expenses, as well as certain capital improvements.

Under the terms of the Option Agreement between the Company and Global dated June 9, 2003 (the “Option Agreement”), on April 27, 2012, Global preliminarily exercised its option to purchase the Company’s Facility. In compliance with the Option Agreement, the Company thereafter provided Global with a calculation of Adjusted Book Value (as that term is defined in the Option Agreement) of the Facility which amounted to $19,700,000. Global then elected to proceed with the determination of Appraised Value (as defined in the Option Agreement). Global and the Company each selected an appraiser and elected to defer selection of a third appraiser until their respective appraisers completed their appraisals and discussed the results. The Company’s appraiser arrived at an appraised value of $46,200,000 for the Facility. Global’s appraiser arrived at a value of $15,400,000 for the Facility. As required by the Option Agreement, the two appraisers then engaged a third appraiser who on May 17, 2013 appraised the Facility at $35,000,000. Global had ten business days following the receipt of the third appraisal to elect to proceed with a feasibility study of the Facility, which it failed to do. As a result, the Option Agreement terminated on June 3, 2013.

Under the terms of the Option Agreement, in the event Global elected not to purchase the Facility, Global was required to reimburse the Company for the cost of the Company’s appraisal, which totaled $96,000. The payment was received in July 2013.

On May 1, 2012, the Company gave Global notice of non-extension of the Global lease. Global was solely responsible for the removal of its inventory and the cleaning of the tanks prior to May 1, 2013 and the costs associated with these activities. The Global lease terminated on April 30, 2013, and the Company took full control of the Facility on that date. Prior to April 30, 2013, Global completed removal of product and the cleaning of the tanks. The final inspection report indicated that two tanks required repairs which were done by the Company and the costs were reimbursed by Global.

Effective May 1, 2013, the Company became responsible for all real property taxes on the Facility, which totaled $287,000 for 2013. During the term of its lease, Global had paid a portion of such taxes. In 2013, Global paid $60,000, its proportionate share of the 2013 taxes. The tax reimbursements are included in petroleum storage facility revenue on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

9

In June 2013, the Company severed four employees of the Facility and paid to such employees, for varying periods depending on each employee’s years of service, severance consisting of salary continuation and provision of medical benefits. The severed employees were subject to call back should the Facility reopen. If an employee failed to return, he forfeited the balance of his severance payment. All severed employees returned to work in August 2013.

Effective September 1, 2013, the Company entered into a through-put lease with ATMI for 425,000 shell barrels for a term of eight months which terminated on April 30, 2014.

Sprague petroleum storage services agreement:

Effective May 1, 2014, the Company entered into a Petroleum Storage Services Agreement (“the Agreement”) with Sprague for its entire storage capacity of 1,004,000 barrels for a term of five years. The base rent is $3,500,000, subject to annual cost-of-living adjustments on May 1 of each year. In addition, the Company will receive an additional $.15 for each barrel of throughput at the facility in excess of 3,500,000 barrels in any contract year (May 1 to April 30). Sprague has the right to extend the Agreement for two additional terms of five years each, provided that Sprague gives at least twelve months’ notice prior to the expiration of the initial or the extension term, as applicable. Commencing April 1, 2016 and on each April 1 thereafter during the initial term and any extension term, either party during the following thirty days has the right to terminate the Agreement as of April 30 of the year next following the year in which notice of termination is given.

Sprague also had the right to terminate the Agreement on six months’ notice if the State of Rhode Island (“the State”) adopted any law or regulation prohibiting the storage of non-conforming distillates unless the effectiveness of such law or regulation was enjoined or the law or regulation was repealed or rescinded during the notice period. Effective June 24, 2014, the State amended its existing air quality regulations to prohibit the sale of high sulfur content distillates but has allowed for Fuel Oil Terminals to receive and store, but not offer for sale, sell or deliver for use in Rhode Island, high sulfur content distillates. The Company’s Facility meets the definition of Fuel Oil Terminals under the regulations and will be permitted to receive non-conforming product.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company was not reimbursed for any real property taxes. Commencing May 1, 2015, Sprague will reimburse the Company for any real property taxes in excess of $290,000. The Agreement contains other customary terms and conditions.

The Company incurred $108,000 in fees in connection with the execution of the Agreement, which amounts are being amortized on the straight-line method over the three-year non-cancellable portion of the term of the Agreement and are included in petroleum storage facility expenses on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014. At September 30, 2014, deferred agreement costs are $93,000, which are included in prepaid and other on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

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.

Environmental incident (2002):

In 2002, during testing of monitoring wells at the Terminal, the Company’s consulting engineer discovered free floating phase product in a groundwater monitoring well located on that portion of the Terminal purchased in 2000. Laboratory analysis indicated that the product was gasoline, which is not a product the Company ever stored at the Terminal. The Company commenced an environmental investigation and analysis, the results of which indicate that the gasoline did not come from the Terminal. The Company notified the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management (“RIDEM”). RIDEM subsequently identified Power Test Realty Partnership (“Power Test”), the owner of an adjacent parcel, as a potentially responsible party for the contamination. Getty Properties Corp. is the general partner of Power Test. Power Test challenged that determination and, after an administrative hearing, in October 2008 a RIDEM Hearing Officer determined that Power Test is responsible for the discharge of the petroleum product under the Rhode Island Oil Pollution Control Act, R.I.G.L. Section 46-12.5.1-3 and Rule 6(a) and 12(b) of the Oil Pollution Control Regulations. The RIDEM Decision and Order requires Power Test to remediate the contamination as directed by RIDEM and remanded the proposed penalty to RIDEM for recalculation. In November 2008, Power Test appealed the decision to the Rhode Island Superior Court. In addition, in November 2008, Power Test sought, and received, a stay of the Decision and Order of the Hearing Officer pending a clarification by RIDEM of the amount of the proposed penalty. In October 2009, RIDEM issued a recalculated administrative penalty, and, subsequently, the RIDEM Hearing Officer issued a recommended amended decision, which was affirmed as a final decision by the RIDEM Director in December 2009. In January 2010, Power Test

appealed that decision to the Superior Court. In September 2011, the Superior Court affirmed the decision of the RIDEM director. Power Test has appealed that decision to the Rhode Island Supreme Court which has agreed to hear the appeal.

In April 2009, the Company sued Power Test and Getty Properties Corp. in the Rhode Island Superior Court seeking remediation of the site or, in the alternative, the cost of the remediation. On May 1, 2009, Power Test and Getty Properties Corp. removed the action to the United States District Court for the District of Rhode Island (“the Court”). On May 22, 2009, Power Test and Getty Properties Corp. answered the Complaint and filed a Counterclaim against Dunellen, LLC and Capital Terminal Company alleging that Dunellen, LLC and Capital Terminal Company are responsible for the contamination. Getty Properties Corp. and Power Test joined Getty Petroleum Marketing, Inc., the tenant under a long-term lease with Getty Properties Corp. of the adjacent property, as a defendant. The Company amended its Complaint to add Getty Petroleum Marketing, Inc. as a defendant. Getty Petroleum Marketing, Inc. moved for summary judgment against the Company, Getty Properties Corp. and Power Test. On December 5, 2011, Getty Petroleum Marketing, Inc. filed for bankruptcy under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Act. Thereafter, with Bankruptcy Court approval, Getty Petroleum Marketing, Inc. rejected its lease with Getty Properties Corp. On August 24, 2012, the Bankruptcy Court approved a plan to liquidate Getty Petroleum Marketing, Inc. On January 15, 2013, the Court granted Getty Petroleum Marketing, Inc.’s motion for summary judgment against the Company, Getty Properties Corp. and Power Test, dismissing the Company’s third-party complaint.

The parties have agreed to stay the litigation pending a determination by the Rhode Island Supreme Court on the Power Test appeal.

There can be no assurance that the Company will prevail in this litigation.

Since January 2003, the Company has not incurred significant costs in connection with this matter, other than ongoing litigation costs, 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.

Environmental remediation (1994):

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 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 accrued in 2004. Through 2006, the Company had expended $119,000 and has not incurred any additional costs since then. In 2011, RIDEM notified the company to proceed with the next phase of the approval process, notifying the abutters of the proposed remediation system even though RIDEM has not yet taken any action on the Company’s proposed plan. As designed, the system will pump out the contaminants which will be disposed of in compliance with applicable regulations. After a period of time, the groundwater will be tested to determine if sufficient contaminants have been removed. 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 costs in excess of the remaining accrual of $81,000.

8. Income taxes:

10. Fair value of financial instruments:

The Company believes that the fair values of its financial instruments, including cash, receivables and payables, approximate their respective book values because of their short-term nature. The fair value of the bank note payable approximates its book value and was determined using borrowing rates currently available to the Company for loans with similar terms and maturities. The fair value of the dividend notes payable approximates their book value. The fair values described herein were determined using significant other observable inputs (Level 2) as defined by GAAP, which included statistics for the issuance, rating and trading of corporate debt securities issued by other companies.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain portions of this report, and particularly the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Sections 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Sections 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, 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 collectability of the accrued leasing revenues when due over the terms of the long-term land leases and the early termination of the Parcel 6B and Parcel 6C 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; the right of the new tenant of the petroleum storage facility to terminate the agreement after three years upon giving one year’s notice; and exposure to contamination, remediation or similar costs associated with the operation of the petroleum storage facility. The Company does not undertake the obligation to update forward-looking statements in response to new information, future events or otherwise.

1. Overview:

Critical accounting policies:

The Company believes that its revenue recognition policy for long-term leases with scheduled rent increases (leasing segment) meets the definition of a critical accounting policy which is discussed in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. There have been no changes to the application of this accounting policy since December 31, 2013.

Segments:

The Company operates in two segments, leasing and petroleum storage.

The leasing segment consists of (i) 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 Parcels 6B and 6C), (ii) the leasing of a portion of the Steeple Street Building under short-term leasing arrangements and (iii) 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 under short-term leasing arrangements to Metropark, Ltd. (“Metropark).

The petroleum storage segment consists of operating the petroleum storage terminal (the “Terminal”) containing 1,004,000 shell barrels and the Wilkesbarre Pier (the “Pier”), both of which are owned by the Company and are collectively referred to as the “Facility,” located in East Providence, Rhode Island, for Sprague Operating Resources LLC (“Sprague”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sprague Resources LP, which stores and distributes petroleum products.

The principal difference between the two segments relates to the nature of the operations. In the leasing segment, the tenants under long-term land leases incur substantially all of the development and operating costs of the assets constructed on the Company’s land, including the payment of real property taxes on both the land and any improvements constructed thereon. In the petroleum storage segment, the Company is responsible for the operating and maintenance expenditures as well as capital improvements at the Facility.

2. Liquidity and capital resources:

As a result of the issuance of dividend notes and the refinancing of the bank loan in late December 2012, the Company’s financial position has changed significantly. Additionally, the expiration of the Global lease on April 30, 2013 impacted the operating cash generated by the petroleum storage segment; however, the impact was mitigated by the eight-month through-put lease with ATMI which terminated April 30, 2014 and the new Agreement with Sprague which commenced May 1, 2014.

Bank loan:

In 2012, the Company and the Bank entered into an Amended and Restated Loan Agreement pursuant to which the Company refinanced the $2,700,000 remaining balance of a 2010 debt to the Bank and borrowed an additional $3,015,000, which was used to pay part of an extraordinary dividend of $2.25 per share to shareholders. (See below). The existing note to the Bank was amended and now bears interest at an annual rate of 3.34% for the first five years. Thereafter, the note will bear interest on either (a) a floating rate basis at LIBOR plus 215 basis points with a floor of 3.25% or (b) a fixed rate of 225 basis points over the five-year Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston Classic Advance Rate, which the Company will select at that time. The loan has a term of ten years with repayments on a 20-year amortization schedule (monthly payments of $24,000 plus interest) and a balloon payment in December 2022 when it matures. The note further contains the customary covenants, terms and conditions and permits prepayment, in whole or in part, at any time without penalty if the prepayment is made from internally generated funds. Parcels 3S and 5 in the Capital Center continue to serve as collateral for the loan.

In June 2014, the Company made a principal prepayment of $1,000,000. As a result of this prepayment, the balloon payment due in December 2022 is $1,863,000.

Dividend notes:

On December 7, 2012, the Board of Directors of the Company declared an extraordinary dividend of $2.25 per share on its Class A and Class B common stock to shareholders of record on December 17, 2012. On December 27, 2012, the Company paid out $3,063,000 in cash and issued $11,787,000 in principal face amount of 5% dividend notes due December 26, 2022 (the “Dividend Notes”). The Dividend Notes are unsecured general obligations of the Company bearing interest at the annual rate of 5% payable semi-annually on June 15 and December 15 to note holders of record on June 1 and December 1 of each year. The Dividend Notes may be redeemed in whole or in part at any time and from time to time at the option of the Company. The Dividend Notes are subject to mandatory redemption in an amount equal to the Net Proceeds from the sale of any real property owned by the Company or any of its subsidiaries. Net Proceeds means the gross cash received by the Company from any such sale reduced by the sum of (a) costs relating to the sale, (b) federal and state income taxes as a result of the sale, and (c) the amount used by the Company to pay in whole or in part financial institution debts secured by a mortgage of the Company’s or any subsidiary’s real property regardless of whether such mortgage encumbers the property sold. The Company has obligated itself not to grant any mortgages on any of its property located in the Capitol Center District in Providence, Rhode Island, other than Parcels 3S and 5, and to cause its subsidiaries not to grant any such mortgages, in each case without the consent of the holders of two-thirds of the outstanding principal face amount of the Dividend Notes. The Dividend Notes contain other customary terms and conditions. The interest payments on an annual basis total $590,000.

Petroleum storage facility:

As reported above in Note 7 of the notes to consolidated financial statements, the Global lease expired April 30, 2013.

In June 2013, the Company severed four employees of the Facility and paid to such employees, for varying periods depending on each employee’s years of service, severance consisting of salary continuation and provision of medical benefits. The severed employees were subject to call back should the Facility reopen. If an employee failed to return, he forfeited the balance of his severance payment. All severed employees returned to work in August 2013.

Effective September 1, 2013, the Company entered into a through-put lease with ATMI for 425,000 shell barrels for a term of eight months which terminated on April 30, 2014.

Effective May 1, 2014, the Company entered into the Agreement with Sprague for its entire storage capacity of 1,004,000 barrels for a term of five years. The base rent is $3,500,000, subject to annual cost-of-living adjustments on May 1 of each year. In addition, the Company will receive an additional $.15 for each barrel of throughput at the facility in excess of 3,500,000 barrels in any contract year (May 1 to April 30). Commencing May 1, 2015, Sprague will reimburse the Company for any real estate taxes in excess of $290,000.

15

During the first nine months of 2014, the Company’s operating activities provided $1,877,000 of cash which was $935,000 more than the cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The increase in cash flows from operations was principally due to the commencement of the Sprague agreement on May 1, 2014 and the fact that the Company had overpaid its 2013 estimated federal and state income taxes, which overpayments were applied to its 2014 income taxes, thereby requiring minimal estimated payments in the first six months of 2014. Cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2014 increased $555,000 from year end principally due to the commencement of the Sprague agreement.

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

Cash and cash commitments:

At September 30, 2014, the Company had cash of $3,860,000. Effective January 1, 2013, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) reduced the insurance on all non-interest bearing bank accounts to a maximum of $250,000. The Company periodically evaluates the financial stability of the financial institution at which the Company’s funds are held. In connection with the December 2012 Amended and Restated Loan Agreement, the Company is required to maintain unencumbered liquid assets (cash and marketable securities) of $1,000,000 at the Bank.

Under the terms of three long-term land leases, the scheduled annual contractual rent increases in 2014 are as follows: (1) on July 1, 2014, the rent on Parcel 6A increased $34,000; (2) on July 1, 2014, the rent on Parcel 6B increased $20,000; and (3) on October 1, 2014, the rent on Parcel 3S increased $133,000.

At September 30, 2014, the Company has three tenants in a portion of the Steeple Street Building under short-term leases (five years or less) at a current annual rental of $123,000. The Company is currently marketing the remaining portions of the building for lease.

In June 2014, the Company prepaid $1,000,000 on its bank loan payable. Further prepayments will depend on the Company’s level of available cash.

In light of the extraordinary dividend paid in December 2012, at each of the quarterly Board meetings held in 2013 and 2014, the Board of Directors voted to omit the regular quarterly dividend of $0.03 per share. The Board will review the declaration of future dividends on a quarterly basis. The declaration of future dividends will depend on future earnings and financial performance.

3. Results of operations:

Three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to three months ended September 30, 2013:

Leasing segment:

	2014		2013		Difference
Leasing revenues	$	1,130,000	$	1,111,000	$	19,000
Leasing expense		216,000		197,000	$	19,000
	$	914,000	$	914,000

Leasing revenue increased principally due to scheduled increases in rentals under long-term land leases and increases under short-term leases. Leasing expense increased due to an increase in expenses for the Steeple Street Building.

Petroleum storage segment:

	2014		2013			Difference
Petroleum storage facility revenues	$	884,000	$	163,000		$	721,000
Petroleum storage facility expense		599,000		764,000		$	(165,000	)
	$	285,000	$	(601,000	)

Petroleum storage facility revenues increased due to the commencement of the Sprague agreement on May 1, 2014. Petroleum storage facility expenses decreased. In 2013, the Company incurred professional fees for the marketing of the Terminal, and repairs and maintenance expense was higher in 2013 due to the epoxy coating of two tank bottoms.

16

General:

For the three months ended September 30, 2014, general and administrative expense increased $42,000 as compared to the same period in 2013 due to an increase in medical claims and an increase in the maximum level of reimbursement allowed under the Company’s medical reimbursement plan.

Interest expense:

For the three months ended September 30, 2014, interest expense, bank loan is $37,000 as compared to $49,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013. In June 2014, the company made a principal prepayment of $1,000,000, thereby reducing the interest expense.

For the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, interest expense, dividend notes remained at approximately the same level. See Dividend Notes above.

Nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to nine months ended September 30, 2013:

Leasing segment:

	2014		2013		Difference
Leasing revenues	$	3,527,000	$	3,385,000	$	142,000
Leasing expense		643,000		629,000	$	14,000
	$	2,884,000	$	2,756,000

Leasing revenue increased due to scheduled increases in rentals under long-term land leases, increases under short-term leases, and an increase in the percentage rent under the Lamar lease. Leasing expense remained approximately at the same level.

Petroleum storage segment:

	2014		2013			Difference
Petroleum storage facility revenues	$	2,188,000	$	1,502,000		$	686,000
Petroleum storage facility expense		2,085,000		1,938,000		$	147,000
	$	103,000	$	(436,000	)

Petroleum storage facility revenues increased in 2014. The Global lease expired on April 30, 2013. From September 1, 2013 to April 30, 2014, the Company had an interim lease with ATMI for a portion of the storage capacity of the Facility. Effective May 1, 2014, the Company entered into a five-year agreement with Sprague for the entire storage capacity of the Facility.

In June 2013, the Company received $96,000 from Global for reimbursement for costs incurred in a prior year in connection with the appraisal of the Facility in accordance with the Global Option Agreement (see Note 7 of notes to the consolidated financial statements herein). Exclusive of this amount, petroleum storage facility expense increased $46,000 due to an increase in repairs and maintenance and insurance, offset in part by a decrease in professional fees.

General:

For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, general and administrative expense decreased $53,000 as compared to the same period in 2013 due to lower costs for professional fees offset in part by an increase in medical claims and an increase in the maximum level allowed under the Company’s medical reimbursement plan.

Interest expense:

For the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, interest expense, bank loan is $129,000 and $148,000, respectively. In June 2014, the Company made a principal prepayment of $1,000,000, thereby reducing the interest expense.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, interest expense, dividend notes remained at approximately the same level. See Dividend Notes above.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the Company carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s principal executive officer and the Company’s principal financial officer. Based upon that evaluation, the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.

There was no significant change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company’s most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. The Company continues to enhance its internal controls over financial reporting, primarily by evaluating and enhancing process and control documentation. Management discusses with and discloses these matters to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors and the Company’s auditors.

Use of estimates

3. Use of estimates:

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements. Estimates also affect the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Principles of consolidation and basis of presentation

9 Months Ended

Sep. 30, 2014

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Principles of consolidation and basis of presentation

2. Principles of consolidation and basis of presentation:

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

The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2013, has been derived from audited financial statements and the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. It is suggested that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s latest Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of September 30, 2014, the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, and the cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

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

Initial direct agreement costs:

Initial direct agreement costs associated with the execution of a rental agreement are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the non-cancellable portion of the term.

Environmental incidents:

The Company accrues a liability when an environmental incident has occurred and the costs are estimable. The Company does not record a receivable for recoveries from third parties for environmental matters until it has determined that the amount of the collection is reasonably assured. The accrued liability is relieved when the Company pays the liability or a third party assumes the liability. Upon determination that collection is reasonably assured or a third party assumes the liability, the Company records the amount as a reduction of expense.

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 or used by the Company.

New accounting standards:

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”). ASU 2014-09 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements of FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 605, Revenue Recognition and most industry-specific guidance throughout the Accounting Standards Codification, resulting in the creation of FASB ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2014-09 requires entities to recognize revenue in a way that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. This ASU provides alternative methods of retrospective adoption and is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact of adopting this ASU on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Description of business

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, leasing and petroleum storage.

The leasing segment consists of (i) 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 Parcels 6B and 6C), (ii) the leasing of a portion of its building (“Steeple Street Building”) under short-term leasing arrangements and (iii) 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 under short-term leasing arrangements to Metropark, Ltd. (“Metropark”).

The petroleum storage segment consists of operating the petroleum storage terminal (the “Terminal”) containing 1,004,000 shell barrels and the Wilkesbarre Pier (the “Pier”), both of which are owned by the Company and are collectively referred to as the “Facility,” located in East Providence, Rhode Island, for Sprague Operating Resources LLC (“Sprague”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sprague Resources LP, which stores and distributes petroleum products.

The principal difference between the two segments relates to the nature of the operations. In the leasing segment, the tenants under long-term land leases incur substantially all of the development and operating costs of the assets constructed on the Company’s land, including the payment of real property taxes on both the land and any improvements constructed thereon. In the petroleum storage segment, the Company is responsible for the operating and maintenance expenditures as well as capital improvements at the Facility.

Principles of consolidation and basis of presentation (Policies)

Sep. 30, 2014

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Initial direct agreement costs

Initial direct agreement costs:

Initial direct agreement costs associated with the execution of a rental agreement are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the non-cancellable portion of the term.

Environmental incidents

Environmental incidents:

The Company accrues a liability when an environmental incident has occurred and the costs are estimable. The Company does not record a receivable for recoveries from third parties for environmental matters until it has determined that the amount of the collection is reasonably assured. The accrued liability is relieved when the Company pays the liability or a third party assumes the liability. Upon determination that collection is reasonably assured or a third party assumes the liability, the Company records the amount as a reduction of expense.

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 or used by the Company.

New accounting standards

New accounting standards:

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”). ASU 2014-09 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements of FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 605, Revenue Recognition and most industry-specific guidance throughout the Accounting Standards Codification, resulting in the creation of FASB ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2014-09 requires entities to recognize revenue in a way that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. This ASU provides alternative methods of retrospective adoption and is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact of adopting this ASU on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Use of estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated 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 values of its financial instruments, including cash, receivables and payables, approximate their respective book values because of their short-term nature. The fair value of the bank note payable approximates its book value and was determined using borrowing rates currently available to the Company for loans with similar terms and maturities. The fair value of the dividend notes payable approximates their book value. The fair values described herein were determined using significant other observable inputs (Level 2) as defined by GAAP, which included statistics for the issuance, rating and trading of corporate debt securities issued by other companies.

Description of leasing arrangements

6. Description of leasing arrangements:

Long-term land leases:

As of September 30, 2014, the Company had entered into nine long-term land leases. Of the nine parcels, seven have had improvements constructed thereon.

Under the nine land leases, the tenants are required to negotiate any tax stabilization treaties or other arrangements, appeal any changes in real property assessments, and pay real property taxes assessed on land and improvements under these arrangements. Accordingly, real property taxes payable by the tenants are excluded from leasing revenues and leasing expenses on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The real property taxes attributable to the Company’s land under these leases totaled $322,000 and $966,000, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, and $241,000 and $889,000, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013.

In 2012, the Company entered into three amended and restated leases, each for a portion of the original Parcel 6 (Parcels 6A, 6B and 6C). All three leases have an initial term of approximately 95 years with two renewal terms of fifty years each. With respect to the Parcel 6B and 6C leases, an affiliate of the leasehold mortgagee had guaranteed the payment by the tenants of rent and real property taxes as well as certain other tenant monetary obligations for a two-year period which terminated May 18, 2014. Thereafter, the lessees of Parcels 6B and 6C each has the right to terminate its lease at any time during the remaining term of that lease upon thirty days’ notice. To date, no notice of termination has been received by the Company. The current annual rent on Parcel 6B is $194,000. Rent commences on Parcel 6C on July 1, 2015.

Short-term leases:

The Company leases the undeveloped parcels of land in or adjacent to the Capital Center area for public parking purposes to Metropark under a short-term cancellable lease.

At September 30, 2014, the Company has three tenants occupying 56 percent of the Steeple Street Building under short-term leases of five years or less at a current annual rental of $123,000. The Company is recognizing the revenue from these leases on a straight-line basis over the terms of the leases. At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the excess of straight-line over contractual rentals is $7,000 and $10,000, respectively, which is included in prepaid and other on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company also reports as revenue from tenants reimbursements for common area costs and real property taxes. The Company is currently marketing the remaining portions of the building for lease.

Lamar lease:

The Company, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, leases 23 outdoor advertising locations containing 44 billboard faces along interstate and primary highways in Rhode Island and Massachusetts to Lamar under a lease which expires in 2045. In 2013, Lamar converted billboards at two locations to electronic billboards, which conversions extended the term of the lease for a total of twelve years. The Lamar lease also provides, among other things, for the following: (1) the base rent will increase annually at the rate of 2.75% for each leased billboard location on June 1 of each year, and (2) in addition to base rent, for each 12-month period commencing each June 1, Lamar must pay to the Company within thirty days after the close of the lease year 30% of the gross revenues from each standard billboard and 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) base monthly rent for each leased billboard display for each 12-month period. For the lease years ended May 31, 2014 and 2013, the percentage rents totaled $173,000 and $105,000, respectively, which amounts are included in leasing revenues on the accompanying statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013.

5. Notes payable:

Bank loan:

In 2012, the Company and the Bank entered into an Amended and Restated Loan Agreement (“Loan Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company refinanced the $2,700,000 remaining balance of a 2010 debt to the Bank and borrowed an additional $3,015,000. The loan bears interest at the annual rate of 3.34% for the first five years. Thereafter, the note will bear interest on either (a) a floating rate basis at LIBOR plus 215 basis points with a floor of 3.25% or (b) a fixed rate of 225 basis points over the five-year Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston Classic Advance Rate, which the Company will select at that time. The loan has a term of ten years with repayments on a 20-year amortization schedule (monthly principal payments of $24,000 plus interest) and a balloon payment due in December 2022 when the loan matures. The Loan Agreement requires the Company to maintain at the Bank unencumbered liquid assets (cash or marketable securities) of $1,000,000. The Loan Agreement further contains customary covenants, terms and conditions and permits prepayment, in whole or in part, at any time without penalty if the prepayment is made from internally generated funds. As collateral for the loan, the Company granted the Bank a mortgage on Parcels 3S and 5 in the Capital Center.

In June 2014, the Company made a principal prepayment of $1,000,000. As a result of this prepayment, the balloon payment due in December 2022 is $1,863,000

Financing fees totaling $71,000 are being amortized by the straight-line method over the 10-year term of the note (which approximates the effective interest rate method). Amortization of deferred financing fees is included in interest expense on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, deferred financing fees are $59,000 and $64,000, respectively, which are included in prepaid and other on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Dividend notes:

In 2012, the Company issued $11,787,000 in principal face amount of 5% dividend notes due December 26, 2022 (the “Dividend Notes”). The Dividend Notes are unsecured general obligations of the Company bearing interest at the annual rate of 5% payable semi-annually on June 15 and December 15 to note holders of record on June 1 and December 1 of each year. The Dividend Notes may be redeemed in whole or in part at any time and from time to time at the option of the Company. The Dividend Notes are subject to mandatory redemption in an amount equal to the Net Proceeds from the sale of any real property owned by the Company or any of its subsidiaries. Net Proceeds is defined as the gross cash received by the Company from any such sale reduced by the sum of (a) costs relating to the sale, (b) federal and state income taxes as a result of the sale, and (c) the amount used by the Company to pay in whole or in part financial institution debts secured by a mortgage of the Company’s or any subsidiary’s real property regardless of whether such mortgage encumbers the property sold. The Company has obligated itself not to grant any mortgages on any of its property located in the Capitol Center District in Providence, Rhode Island, other than Parcels 3S and 5, and to cause its subsidiaries not to grant any such mortgages, in each case without the consent of the holders of two-thirds of the outstanding principal face amount of the Dividend Notes. The Dividend Notes contain other customary terms and conditions.

Petroleum storage facility and environmental incidents

7. Petroleum storage facility and environmental incidents:

Leasing of the Facility:

For the period May 1, 1998 to April 30, 2013, the Company and Global Companies, LLC (“Global”) were parties to a lease agreement pursuant to which the Company operated the entire Facility for Global. The Company was responsible for labor, insurance, a portion of the real property taxes and other operating expenses, as well as certain capital improvements.

Under the terms of the Option Agreement between the Company and Global dated June 9, 2003 (the “Option Agreement”), on April 27, 2012, Global preliminarily exercised its option to purchase the Company’s Facility. In compliance with the Option Agreement, the Company thereafter provided Global with a calculation of Adjusted Book Value (as that term is defined in the Option Agreement) of the Facility which amounted to $19,700,000. Global then elected to proceed with the determination of Appraised Value (as defined in the Option Agreement). Global and the Company each selected an appraiser and elected to defer selection of a third appraiser until their respective appraisers completed their appraisals and discussed the results. The Company’s appraiser arrived at an appraised value of $46,200,000 for the Facility. Global’s appraiser arrived at a value of $15,400,000 for the Facility. As required by the Option Agreement, the two appraisers then engaged a third appraiser who on May 17, 2013 appraised the Facility at $35,000,000. Global had ten business days following the receipt of the third appraisal to elect to proceed with a feasibility study of the Facility, which it failed to do. As a result, the Option Agreement terminated on June 3, 2013.

Under the terms of the Option Agreement, in the event Global elected not to purchase the Facility, Global was required to reimburse the Company for the cost of the Company’s appraisal, which totaled $96,000. The payment was received in July 2013.

On May 1, 2012, the Company gave Global notice of non-extension of the Global lease. Global was solely responsible for the removal of its inventory and the cleaning of the tanks prior to May 1, 2013 and the costs associated with these activities. The Global lease terminated on April 30, 2013, and the Company took full control of the Facility on that date. Prior to April 30, 2013, Global completed removal of product and the cleaning of the tanks. The final inspection report indicated that two tanks required repairs which were done by the Company and the costs were reimbursed by Global.

Effective May 1, 2013, the Company became responsible for all real property taxes on the Facility, which totaled $287,000 for 2013. During the term of its lease, Global had paid a portion of such taxes. In 2013, Global paid $60,000, its proportionate share of the 2013 taxes. The tax reimbursements are included in petroleum storage facility revenue on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

In June 2013, the Company severed four employees of the Facility and paid to such employees, for varying periods depending on each employee’s years of service, severance consisting of salary continuation and provision of medical benefits. The severed employees were subject to call back should the Facility reopen. If an employee failed to return, he forfeited the balance of his severance payment. All severed employees returned to work in August 2013.

Effective September 1, 2013, the Company entered into a through-put lease with ATMI for 425,000 shell barrels for a term of eight months which terminated on April 30, 2014.

Sprague petroleum storage services agreement:

Effective May 1, 2014, the Company entered into a Petroleum Storage Services Agreement (“the Agreement”) with Sprague for its entire storage capacity of 1,004,000 barrels for a term of five years. The base rent is $3,500,000, subject to annual cost-of-living adjustments on May 1 of each year. In addition, the Company will receive an additional $.15 for each barrel of throughput at the facility in excess of 3,500,000 barrels in any contract year (May 1 to April 30). Sprague has the right to extend the Agreement for two additional terms of five years each, provided that Sprague gives at least twelve months’ notice prior to the expiration of the initial or the extension term, as applicable. Commencing April 1, 2016 and on each April 1 thereafter during the initial term and any extension term, either party during the following thirty days has the right to terminate the Agreement as of April 30 of the year next following the year in which notice of termination is given.

Sprague also had the right to terminate the Agreement on six months’ notice if the State of Rhode Island (“the State”) adopted any law or regulation prohibiting the storage of non-conforming distillates unless the effectiveness of such law or regulation was enjoined or the law or regulation was repealed or rescinded during the notice period. Effective June 24, 2014, the State amended its existing air quality regulations to prohibit the sale of high sulfur content distillates but has allowed for Fuel Oil Terminals to receive and store, but not offer for sale, sell or deliver for use in Rhode Island, high sulfur content distillates. The Company’s Facility meets the definition of Fuel Oil Terminals under the regulations and will be permitted to receive non-conforming product.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company was not reimbursed for any real property taxes. Commencing May 1, 2015, Sprague will reimburse the Company for any real property taxes in excess of $290,000. The Agreement contains other customary terms and conditions.

The Company incurred $108,000 in fees in connection with the execution of the Agreement, which amounts are being amortized on the straight-line method over the three-year non-cancellable portion of the term of the Agreement and are included in petroleum storage facility expenses on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014. At September 30, 2014, deferred agreement costs are $93,000, which are included in prepaid and other on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

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.

Environmental incident (2002):

In 2002, during testing of monitoring wells at the Terminal, the Company’s consulting engineer discovered free floating phase product in a groundwater monitoring well located on that portion of the Terminal purchased in 2000. Laboratory analysis indicated that the product was gasoline, which is not a product the Company ever stored at the Terminal. The Company commenced an environmental investigation and analysis, the results of which indicate that the gasoline did not come from the Terminal. The Company notified the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management (“RIDEM”). RIDEM subsequently identified Power Test Realty Partnership (“Power Test”), the owner of an adjacent parcel, as a potentially responsible party for the contamination. Getty Properties Corp. is the general partner of Power Test. Power Test challenged that determination and, after an administrative hearing, in October 2008 a RIDEM Hearing Officer determined that Power Test is responsible for the discharge of the petroleum product under the Rhode Island Oil Pollution Control Act, R.I.G.L. Section 46-12.5.1-3 and Rule 6(a) and 12(b) of the Oil Pollution Control Regulations. The RIDEM Decision and Order requires Power Test to remediate the contamination as directed by RIDEM and remanded the proposed penalty to RIDEM for recalculation. In November 2008, Power Test appealed the decision to the Rhode Island Superior Court. In addition, in November 2008, Power Test sought, and received, a stay of the Decision and Order of the Hearing Officer pending a clarification by RIDEM of the amount of the proposed penalty. In October 2009, RIDEM issued a recalculated administrative penalty, and, subsequently, the RIDEM Hearing Officer issued a recommended amended decision, which was affirmed as a final decision by the RIDEM Director in December 2009. In January 2010, Power Test appealed that decision to the Superior Court. In September 2011, the Superior Court affirmed the decision of the RIDEM director. Power Test has appealed that decision to the Rhode Island Supreme Court which has agreed to hear the appeal.

In April 2009, the Company sued Power Test and Getty Properties Corp. in the Rhode Island Superior Court seeking remediation of the site or, in the alternative, the cost of the remediation. On May 1, 2009, Power Test and Getty Properties Corp. removed the action to the United States District Court for the District of Rhode Island (“the Court”). On May 22, 2009, Power Test and Getty Properties Corp. answered the Complaint and filed a Counterclaim against Dunellen, LLC and Capital Terminal Company alleging that Dunellen, LLC and Capital Terminal Company are responsible for the contamination. Getty Properties Corp. and Power Test joined Getty Petroleum Marketing, Inc., the tenant under a long-term lease with Getty Properties Corp. of the adjacent property, as a defendant. The Company amended its Complaint to add Getty Petroleum Marketing, Inc. as a defendant. Getty Petroleum Marketing, Inc. moved for summary judgment against the Company, Getty Properties Corp. and Power Test. On December 5, 2011, Getty Petroleum Marketing, Inc. filed for bankruptcy under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Act. Thereafter, with Bankruptcy Court approval, Getty Petroleum Marketing, Inc. rejected its lease with Getty Properties Corp. On August 24, 2012, the Bankruptcy Court approved a plan to liquidate Getty Petroleum Marketing, Inc. On January 15, 2013, the Court granted Getty Petroleum Marketing, Inc.’s motion for summary judgment against the Company, Getty Properties Corp. and Power Test, dismissing the Company’s third-party complaint.

The parties have agreed to stay the litigation pending a determination by the Rhode Island Supreme Court on the Power Test appeal.

There can be no assurance that the Company will prevail in this litigation.

Since January 2003, the Company has not incurred significant costs in connection with this matter, other than ongoing litigation costs, 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.

Environmental remediation (1994):

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 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 accrued in 2004. Through 2006, the Company had expended $119,000 and has not incurred any additional costs since then. In 2011, RIDEM notified the company to proceed with the next phase of the approval process, notifying the abutters of the proposed remediation system even though RIDEM has not yet taken any action on the Company’s proposed plan. As designed, the system will pump out the contaminants which will be disposed of in compliance with applicable regulations. After a period of time, the groundwater will be tested to determine if sufficient contaminants have been removed. 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 costs in excess of the remaining accrual of $81,000.
