The accompanying notes are an integral part of these statements. 6 7 IEA MARINE CONTAINER FUND (A CALIFORNIA LIMITED PARTNERSHIP) NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (a) Nature of Operations IEA Marine Container Fund (A California Limited Partnership) (the "Partnership") was organized under the laws of the State of California on April 26, 1979 for the purpose of owning and leasing marine cargo containers. The managing general partner is Cronos Capital Corp. ("CCC"); the associate general partner is Smith Barney Shearson, Inc. CCC, with its affiliate Cronos Containers Limited (the "Leasing Company"), manages and controls the business of the Partnership. (b) Leasing Company and Leasing Agent Agreement Pursuant to the Limited Partnership Agreement of the Partnership, all authority to administer the business of the Partnership is vested in CCC. CCC entered into a Leasing Agent Agreement whereby the Leasing Company had the responsibility to manage the leasing operations of all equipment owned by the Partnership. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Leasing Company was responsible for leasing, managing and re-leasing the Partnership's containers to ocean carriers and had full discretion over which ocean carriers and suppliers of goods and services it dealt with. The Leasing Agent Agreement permitted 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 has been accounted for as a lease under which the Partnership is lessor and the Leasing Company is the lessee. The Leasing Agent Agreement generally provided that the Leasing Company make payments to the Partnership based upon rentals collected from ocean carriers after deducting direct operating expenses and management fees to CCC. The Leasing Company leases containers to ocean carriers, generally under operating leases which are either master leases or term leases (mostly two 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 of the Partnership's containers were 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. (c) Basis of Accounting The Partnership utilizes the accrual method of accounting. Revenue is recognized when earned. The Partnership has determined that for accounting purposes the Leasing Agent Agreement is a lease, and the receivables, payables, gross revenues and operating expenses attributable to the containers managed by the Leasing Company are, for accounting purposes, those of the Leasing Company and not of the Partnership. Consequently, the Partnership's balance sheets and statements of operations display the payments to be received by the Partnership from the Leasing Company as the Partnership's receivables and revenues. (Continued) 7 8 IEA MARINE CONTAINER FUND (A CALIFORNIA LIMITED PARTNERSHIP) NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (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. 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. For comparative purposes, prior year's accounts payable and accrued expenses have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. (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, and base management fees payable to CCC, the Leasing Company, 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 September 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995 were as follows:
September 30, December 31, 1996 1995 ------------- ------------ Lease receivables, net of doubtful accounts of $nil at September 30, 1996 and $30,922 at December 31, 1995 $ -- $30,513 Less: Direct operating payables and accrued expenses -- 6,124 ------- ------- $ -- $24,389 ======= =======
8 9 IEA MARINE CONTAINER FUND (A CALIFORNIA LIMITED PARTNERSHIP) NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (3) Net Lease Revenue Net lease revenue is determined by deducting direct operating expenses and management fees to CCC and the Leasing Company, 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 (expense) for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, was as follows:
Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended ------------------------------- ------------------------------ September 30, September 30, September 30, September 30, 1996 1995 1996 1995 -------- -------- --------- -------- Rental revenue $ -- $ 19,696 $ -- $144,299 -------- Rental equipment operating expenses 4,612 2,213 14,938 24,392 Base management fees -- 575 -- 12,367 -------- -------- --------- -------- $ (4,612) $ 16,908 $ (14,938) $107,540 ======== ======== ========= ========
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 September 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995. As discussed in the Registrant's report for the year ended December 31, 1995, the Registrant's remaining containers were disposed of during 1995. The Registrant is currently in the final phase of the liquidation and wind up stage of operations. During this phase, the Registrant refrained from distributing cash generated from operations and sales proceeds to its partners, reserving all excess cash as part of its working capital in order to maintain sufficient cash reserves for expenses related to its final liquidation and subsequent dissolution. During the first nine months of 1996, the Registrant focused on the collection of its lease receivables and payment of its direct operating payables and accrued expenses. At September 30, 1996, the remaining gross lease receivables were deemed to be uncollectible and accordingly, charged against the existing allowance for doubtful accounts. Additionally, at September 30, 1996 the Registrant accrued for the remaining costs associated with the termination of the Partnership, including, but not limited to, accounting, tax and legal fees. The Registrant anticipates that during the fourth quarter of 1996 it will discharge the remaining direct operating payables and accrued expenses, undertake a final distribution to its partners, cancel the Certificate of Limited Partnership and terminate the Partnership. 2) Material changes in the results of operations between the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1996 and the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1995. At the beginning of 1995, the Registrant had 325 containers remaining in the fleet. These containers were disposed of during 1995. Accordingly, the Registrant's container operations ceased during the fourth quarter of 1995. The Registrant experienced a net loss of $18,684 and $33,122 during the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1996, respectively, as other general and administrative expenses were in excess of interest income, the Registrant's sole source of income. Rental equipment operating expenses, a component of net lease revenue, were $4,612 and $14,938 during the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1996, respectively. These amounts consisted of costs associated with the recovery actions against the doubtful accounts of certain lessees, including legal expenses and the provision for doubtful accounts. General and administrative expenses included investor processing, tax, legal, and audit expenses. 10 11 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION Item 6. Exhibits and Reports on Form 8-K (a) Exhibits
