The managing general partner is Cronos Capital Corp. ("CCC"); the associate general partners include seven individuals, one is an officer of CCC. 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 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. 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 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. (c) Basis of Accounting The Partnership utilizes the accrual method of accounting. Revenue is recognized when earned. (Continued) 5 8 IEA INCOME FUND VII, (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 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, reimbursed administrative expenses, and incentive fees 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 June 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994 were as follows:
June 30, December 31, 1995 1994 -------- ------------ Lease receivables, net of doubtful accounts of $88,999 at June 30, 1995 and $74,821 at December 31, 1994 $423,049 $402,001 Less: Direct operating payables and accrued expenses 96,304 59,495 Damage protection reserve 49,620 75,199 Base management fees 39,710 39,446 Reimbursed administrative expenses 3,751 6,780 Incentive fees 25,873 22,998 -------- -------- $207,791 $198,083 ======== ========
(Continued) 6 9 IEA INCOME FUND VII, (A CALIFORNIA LIMITED PARTNERSHIP) NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (3) Net Lease Revenue Net lease revenue is determined by deducting direct operating expenses, management fees and reimbursed administrative expenses to CCC 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 and six-month periods ended June 30, 1995 and 1994, were as follows:
Three Months Ended Six Months Ended ------------------- ------------------- June 30, June 30, June 30, June 30, 1995 1994 1995 1994 -------- -------- -------- -------- Rental revenue $381,036 $365,588 $747,186 $718,379 Rental equipment operating expenses 66,621 71,853 135,198 128,952 Base management fees 24,614 26,522 50,614 47,312 Reimbursed administrative expenses 19,785 18,612 39,383 42,942 Incentive fees 28,747 17,690 51,745 17,690 -------- -------- -------- -------- $241,269 $230,911 $470,246 $481,483 ======== ======== ======== ========
7 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 June 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994. The Registrant's cash balances at June 30, 1995 included sales proceeds from equipment disposals in the amount of $11,463. The Registrant will distribute these sales proceeds and $197,927 of cash from operations during the third quarter of 1995, representing distributions to its limited partners for the second quarter of 1995. Net lease receivables due from the Leasing Company increased approximately $9,708 from December 31, 1994. Direct operating payables and accrued expense, a component of net lease receivables, increased $36,809, primarily as a result of a $27,175 increase in deferred revenue from advance billings to container lessees. This increase was partially offset by a $25,579 reduction in the reserve for container repairs covered by the damage protection plan. During the first six months of 1995, this reserve was impacted by the Registrant's declining fleet size and the number of containers covered under the plan. 2) Material changes in the results of operations between the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 1995 and the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 1994. During the three-month period ended June 30, 1995, the container leasing market remained consistent with market conditions that existed during the three-month period ended March 31, 1995. The Registrant continued to experience the ability to charge higher ancillary revenues, such as pick-up fees, and reduce incentives offered to ocean carriers, which contributed to an increase in the Registrant's gross lease revenues, a component of net lease revenues. However, the Registrant remains cautious about any further improvement in market conditions during the remainder of 1995. The benefits of the improved market conditions experienced during the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 1995, as compared to the same periods in 1994, were partially offset by the effect of the Leasing Company's efforts to improve the credit quality of its customer portfolio. In many cases, lessees who maintain a strong credit history may command favorable lease terms including lower per-diem rental rates. Accordingly, average per-diem rental rates remained steady as compared to the same three and six-month periods in 1994, while an increasing proportion of the lessees within its portfolio shifted to larger, high credit quality lessees. The Registrant expects to gain long term benefits from the improvement in the credit quality of its customers, as the allowance for doubtful accounts and related expenses should decline. The Registrant's average fleet size and utilization rates for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 1995 and 1994 were as follows:
Three Months Ended Six Months Ended -------------------- -------------------- June 30, June 30, June 30, June 30, 1995 1994 1995 1994 -------- -------- -------- -------- Average Fleet Size (measured in twenty-foot equivalents (TEU)) 3,045 3,107 3,063 3,114 Average Utilization 88% 88% 88% 87%
8 11 Incentive fees, which are based on the operating performance of the fleet and sales proceeds, are incurred only after the limited partners receive an 8% cumulative, compounded (daily), annual return on their Adjusted Capital Contribution. This threshold was not reached until the second quarter of 1994, and accordingly, contributed to the $11,057 and $34,055 increases during the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 1995, respectively, as compared to the same periods in the prior year. 9 12 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION Item 6.
