The accompanying notes are an integral part of these financial statements. 6 7 CRONOS GLOBAL INCOME FUND XVI, L.P. NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (a) Nature of Operations Cronos Global Income Fund XVI, L.P. (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership organized under the laws of the State of California on September 1, 1995, for the purpose of owning and leasing marine cargo containers, special purpose containers and container related equipment worldwide to ocean carriers. To this extent, the Partnership's operations are subject to the fluctuations of world economic and political conditions. Such factors may affect the pattern and levels of world trade. The Partnership believes that the profitability of, and risks associated with, leases to foreign customers is generally the same as those of leases to domestic customers. The Partnership's leases generally require all payments to be made in United States currency. Cronos Capital Corp. ("CCC") is the general partner and, with its affiliate Cronos Containers Limited (the "Leasing Company"), manages the business of the Partnership. The Partnership shall continue until December 31, 2015, unless sooner terminated upon the occurrence of certain events. The Partnership commenced operations on March 29, 1996, when the minimum subscription proceeds of $2,000,000 were received from over 100 subscribers (excluding from such count Pennsylvania residents, the general partner, and all affiliates of the general partner). On February 3, 1997, CCC suspended the offer and sale of units in the Partnership. The offering terminated on December 27, 1997. (b) Leasing Company and Leasing Agent Agreement The Partnership has entered into a Leasing Agent Agreement whereby the Leasing Company has the responsibility to manage the leasing operations of all equipment owned by the Partnership. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Leasing Company is responsible for leasing, managing and re-leasing the Partnership's containers to ocean carriers and has full discretion over which ocean carriers and suppliers of goods and services it may deal with. The Leasing Agent Agreement permits the Leasing Company to use the containers owned by the Partnership, together with other containers owned or managed by the Leasing Company and its affiliates, as part of a single fleet operated without regard to ownership. Since the Leasing Agent Agreement meets the definition of an operating lease in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 13, it is accounted for as a lease under which the Partnership is lessor and the Leasing Company is lessee. The Leasing Agent Agreement generally provides that the Leasing Company will make payments to the Partnership based upon rentals collected from ocean carriers after deducting direct operating expenses and management fees to CCC and the Leasing Company. The Leasing Company leases containers to ocean carriers, generally under operating leases which are either master leases or term leases (mostly one to five years). Master leases do not specify the exact number of containers to be leased or the term that each container will remain on hire but allow the ocean carrier to pick up and drop off containers at various locations; rentals are based upon the number of containers used and the applicable per-diem rate. Accordingly, rentals under master leases are all variable and contingent upon the number of containers used. Most containers are leased to ocean carriers under master leases; leasing agreements with fixed payment terms are not material to the financial statements. Since there are no material minimum lease rentals, no disclosure of minimum lease rentals is provided in these financial statements. (Continued) 7 8 CRONOS GLOBAL INCOME FUND XVI, L.P. NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (c) Basis of Accounting The Partnership utilizes the accrual method of accounting. Net lease revenue is recorded by the Partnership in each period based upon its leasing agent agreement with the Leasing Company. Net lease revenue is generally dependent upon operating lease rentals from operating lease agreements between the Leasing Company and its various lessees, less direct operating expenses and management fees due in respect of the containers specified in each operating lease agreement. (d) Financial Statement Presentation These financial statements have been prepared without audit. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting procedures have been omitted. It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and accompanying notes in the Partnership's latest annual report on Form 10-K. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires the Partnership 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 and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The interim financial statements presented herewith reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair statement of the financial condition and results of operations for the interim periods presented. (2) Net Lease Receivables Due from Leasing Company Net lease receivables due from the Leasing Company are determined by deducting direct operating payables and accrued expenses, base management fees payable, and reimbursed administrative expenses payable to CCC and its affiliates from the rental billings payable by the Leasing Company to the Partnership under operating leases to ocean carriers for the containers owned by the Partnership. Net lease receivables at March 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998 were as follows:
March 31, December 31, 1999 1998 --------- ------------ Lease receivables, net of doubtful accounts of $59,966 at March 31, 1999 and $63,388 at December 31, 1998 $849,047 $925,432 Less: Direct operating payables and accrued expenses 254,989 271,115 Damage protection reserve 36,602 37,905 Base management fees 57,760 66,324 Reimbursed administrative expenses 17,984 18,021 -------- -------- $481,712 $532,067 ======== ========
(Continued) 8 9 CRONOS GLOBAL INCOME FUND XVI, L.P. NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (3) Net Lease Revenue Net lease revenue is determined by deducting direct operating expenses, base management fees and reimbursed administrative expenses to CCC and its affiliates from the rental revenue billed by the Leasing Company under operating leases to ocean carriers for the containers owned by the Partnership. Net lease revenue for the three-month periods ended March 31, 1999 and 1998 was as follows:
Three Months Ended -------------------------- March 31, March 31, 1999 1998 ---------- ---------- Rental revenue (note 4) $ 963,942 $1,080,875 Less: Rental equipment operating expenses 171,657 225,579 Base management fees 66,686 74,174 Reimbursed administrative expenses 46,686 67,821 ---------- ---------- $ 678,913 $ 713,301 ========== ==========
(4) Operating Segment The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information", which changes the way public business enterprises report financial and descriptive information about reportable operating segments. An operating segment is a component of an enterprise that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the enterprise's chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and about which separate financial information is available. Management operates the Partnership's container fleet as a homogenous unit and has determined, after considering the requirements of SFAS No. 131, that as such it has a single reportable operating segment. The Partnership derives its revenues from owning and leasing marine cargo containers. As of March 31, 1999, the Partnership operated 3,828 twenty-foot, 1,045 forty-foot and 459 forty-foot high-cube marine dry cargo containers, as well as 90 twenty-foot and 299 forty-foot refrigerated cargo containers, and 52 twenty-four thousand-liter tanks. A summary of gross lease revenue, by product, for the three-month periods ended March 31, 1999 and 1998 follows:
1999 1998 ---------- ---------- Dry cargo containers $ 537,982 $ 637,286 Refrigerated containers 378,848 376,399 Tank containers 47,112 67,190 ---------- ---------- Total $ 963,942 $1,080,875 ========== ==========
Due to the Partnership's lack of information regarding the physical location of its fleet of containers when on lease in the global shipping trade, it is impracticable to provide the geographic area information required by SFAS No. 131. Any attempt to separate "foreign" operations from "domestic" operations would be dependent on definitions and assumptions that are so subjective as to render the information meaningless and potentially misleading. 9 10 Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations It is suggested that the following discussion be read in conjunction with the Registrant's most recent annual report on Form 10-K. 1) Material changes in financial condition between March 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998. At March 31, 1999, the Registrant had $1,976,207 in cash and cash equivalents, an increase of $132,395 from the cash balances at December 31, 1998. At March 31, 1999, the Registrant had approximately $111,000 in cash generated from equipment sales reserved as part of its cash balances. Throughout the remainder of 1999, the Registrant expects to use cash generated from equipment sales to purchase and replace containers which have been lost or damaged beyond repair. The Registrant's cash distribution from operations for the first quarter of 1999 was 7.50% (annualized) of the limited partners' original capital contribution, unchanged from the fourth quarter of 1998. These distributions are directly related to the Registrant's results from operations and may fluctuate accordingly. Growth in intra-Asian trade and improving lease-out activity in some key locations have expanded the requirement for leased containers in selected locations. As a result of these slowly improving trends, trade volumes in several markets are rebounding and utilization of the Registrant's equipment has been recently improving. However, per-diem rental rates remain unchanged and container imbalances are expected to continue for the remainder of 1999. In light of the encouraging signs mentioned above, the Registrant will selectively increase its repositioning of available equipment to higher demand locations when it believes that the impact will have a positive effect on operations. 2) Material changes in the results of operations between the three-month period ended March 31, 1999 and 1998. Net lease revenue for the three-month period ended March 31, 1999 was $678,913, a decrease of approximately 5% from the same three-month period in the prior year. Gross rental revenue (a component of net lease revenue) for the three-month period ended March 31, 1999 was $963,942, reflecting a decrease of 11% from the same three-month period in the prior year. Dry container average per-diem rental rates for the three-month period ended March 31, 1999 declined approximately 6% when compared to the same three-month period in the prior year. Refrigerated container average per-diem rental rates for the three-month period ended March 31, 1999 declined 1% when compared to the same period in the prior year. Tank container average per-diem rental rates for the three-month period ended March 31, 1999 declined 5% when compared to the same period in the prior year. 10 11 The Registrant's average fleet size and utilization rates for the three-month periods ended March 31, 1999 and 1998 were as follows:
Three Months Ended ------------------------ March 31, March 31, 1999 1998 --------- --------- Average fleet size (measured in twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU)) Dry cargo containers 6,840 6,853 Refrigerated containers 688 690 Tank containers 52 52 Average Utilization Dry cargo containers 74.2% 81.8% Refrigerated containers 99.6% 98.2% Tank containers 76.1% 87.2%
Rental equipment operating expenses were 18% of the Registrant's gross lease revenue during the three-month period ended March 31, 1999, as compared to 21% during the same three-month period ended March 31, 1998. This decrease was largely attributable to costs associated with fluctuating utilization levels, including handling and repositioning. Year 2000 The Registrant relies upon the financial and operational systems provided by the Leasing Company and its affiliates, as well as the systems provided by other independent third parties to service the three primary areas of its business: investor processing/maintenance; container leasing/asset tracking; and accounting finance. The Registrant has received confirmation from its third-party investor processing/maintenance vendor that their system is Year 2000 compliant. The Registrant does not expect a material increase in its vendor servicing fee to reimburse Year 2000 costs. Container leasing/asset tracking and accounting/finance services are provided to the Registrant by CCC and its affiliate, the Leasing Company, pursuant to the respective Limited Partnership Agreement and Leasing Agent Agreement. CCC and the Leasing Company have initiated a program to prepare their systems and applications for the Year 2000. Preliminary studies indicate that testing, conversion and upgrading of system applications is expected to cost CCC and the Leasing Company less than $500,000. Pursuant to the Limited Partnership Agreement, CCC or the Leasing Company, may not seek reimbursement of data processing costs associated with the Year 2000 program. The financial impact of making these required system changes is not expected to be material to the Registrant's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Cautionary Statement This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains statements relating to future results of the Registrant, including certain projections and business trends, that are "forward-looking statements" as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Actual results may differ materially from those projected as a result of certain risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to changes in: economic conditions; trade policies; demand for and market acceptance of leased marine cargo containers; competitive utilization and per-diem rental rate pressures; as well as other risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to those described in the above discussion of the marine container leasing business under Item 2., Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations; and those detailed from time to time in the filings of the Registrant with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk Not applicable. 11 12 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. Legal Proceedings As reported in the Registrant's Current Report on Form 8-K and Amendment No. 1 to Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the Commission on February 7, 1997 and February 26, 1997, respectively, Arthur Andersen, London, England, resigned as auditors of The Cronos Group, (the "Parent Company"), on February 3, 1997. The Parent Company is the indirect corporate parent of CCC, the general partner of the Registrant. In its letter of resignation to the Parent Company, Arthur Andersen stated that it resigned as auditors of the Parent Company and all other entities affiliated with the Parent Company. While its letter of resignation was not addressed to CCC, Arthur Andersen confirmed to CCC that its resignation as auditors of the entities referred to in its letter of resignation included its resignation as auditors of CCC and the Registrant. CCC does not believe, based upon the information currently available to it, that Arthur Andersen's resignation was triggered by any concern over the accounting policies and procedures followed by the Registrant. Arthur Andersen's reports on the financial statements of CCC and the Registrant, for years preceding 1996, had not contained an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor were any such reports qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles. During the Registrant's fiscal year ended December 31, 1995 and the subsequent interim period preceding Arthur Andersen's resignation, there were no disagreements between CCC or the Registrant and Arthur Andersen on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure. In connection with its resignation, Arthur Andersen also prepared a report pursuant to the provisions of Section 10A(b)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, for filing by the Parent Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Following the report of Arthur Andersen, the SEC, on February 10, 1997, commenced a private investigation of the Parent Company for the purpose of investigating the matters discussed in such report and related matters. The Registrant does not believe that the focus of the SEC's investigation is upon the Registrant or CCC. CCC is unable to predict the outcome of the SEC's ongoing private investigation of the Parent Company. Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities See Item 5. Other Information. Item 5. Other Information In 1993, the Parent Company negotiated a credit facility (hereinafter, the "Credit Facility") with several banks for the use by the Parent Company and its subsidiaries, including CCC. At December 31, 1996, approximately $73,500,000 in principal indebtedness was outstanding under the Credit Facility. As a party to the Credit Facility, CCC is jointly and severally liable for the repayment of all principal and interest owed under the Credit Facility. The obligations of CCC, and the five other subsidiaries of the Parent Company that are borrowers under the Credit Facility, are guaranteed by the Parent Company. 12 13 Following negotiations in 1997 with the banks providing the Credit Facility, an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement was executed in June 1997, subject to various actions being taken by the Parent Company and its subsidiaries, primarily relating to the provision of additional collateral. This Agreement was further amended in July 1997 and the provisions of the Agreement and its Amendment converted the facility to a term loan, payable in installments, with a final maturity date of May 31, 1998. The terms of the Agreement and its Amendment also provided for additional security over shares in the subsidiary of the Parent Company that owns the head office of the Parent Company's container leasing operations. They also provided for the loans to the former Chairman of $5,900,000 and $3,700,000 to be restructured as obligations of the former Chairman to another subsidiary of the Parent Company (not CCC), together with the pledge to this subsidiary company of 2,030,303 Common Shares beneficially owned by him in the Parent Company as security for these loans. They further provided for the assignment of these loans to the lending banks, together with the pledge of 1,000,000 shares and the assignment of the rights of the Parent Company in respect of the other 1,030,303 shares. Additionally, CCC granted the lending banks a security interest in the fees to which it is entitled for the services it renders to the container leasing partnerships of which it acts as general partner, including its fee income payable by the Registrant. The Parent Company did not repay the Credit Facility at the amended maturity date of May 31, 1998. On June 30, 1998, the Parent Company entered into a third amendment (the "Third Amendment") to the Credit Facility. Under the Third Amendment, the remaining principal amount of $36,800,000 was to be amortized in varying monthly amounts commencing on July 31, 1998 with $26,950,000 due on September 30, 1998 and a final maturity date of January 8, 1999. The Parent Company did not repay the amounts due on September 30, 1998 and January 8, 1999. The balance outstanding on the Credit Facility at December 31, 1998 was $33,110,000. In March 1999, the Parent Company agreed to a fourth amendment (the "Fourth Amendment") to the Bank Facility under which the final maturity date will be September 1999. The Fourth Amendment became effective as of March 31, 1999 subject to the satisfaction thereafter of various conditions, including the delivery of the Parent Company's audited financial statements for 1998, together with various legal opinions and other loan documentation by April 15, 1999. This date was extended to April 30, 1999. The Parent Company furnished the required legal opinions and other loan documentation and are now under review. The directors of the Parent Company also are pursuing alternative sources of financing to meet the amended repayment obligations anticipated under the Fourth Amendment. Failure to meet revised lending terms would constitute an event of default with the lenders. The declaration of an event of default would result in further defaults with other lenders under loan agreement cross-default provisions. Should a default of the term loans be enforced, the Parent Company and CCC may be unable to continue as going concerns. The Registrant is not a borrower under the Credit Facility, and neither the containers nor the other assets of the Registrant have been pledged as collateral under the Credit Facility. CCC is unable to determine the impact, if any, these issues may have on the future operating results, financial condition and cash flows of the Registrant or CCC and on the Leasing Company's ability to manage the Registrant's fleet in subsequent periods. 13 14 Item 6.
