The accompanying notes are an integral part of these statements. 6 7 IEA INCOME FUND VIII, (A CALIFORNIA LIMITED PARTNERSHIP) NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (a) Nature of Operations IEA Income Fund VIII, A California Limited Partnership (the "Partnership") was organized under the laws of the State of California on August 31, 1987 for the purpose of owning and leasing marine cargo containers. Cronos Capital Corp. ("CCC") is the general partner and, 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. 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 INCOME FUND VIII, (A CALIFORNIA LIMITED PARTNERSHIP) NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (d) Financial Statement Presentation - (Continued) 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. (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, 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 March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995 were as follows:
March 31, December 31, 1996 1995 ---- ---- Lease receivables, net of doubtful accounts of $145,982 at March 31, 1996 and $136,750 at December 31, 1995 $757,144 $773,483 Less: Direct operating payables and accrued expenses 166,768 166,803 Damage protection reserve 78,286 92,138 Base management fees 63,206 75,211 Reimbursed administrative expenses 12,698 13,839 -------- -------- $436,186 $425,492 ======== ========
(3) Due to General Partner The amounts due to CCC at March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995 consist of acquisition fees. (Continued) 8 9 IEA INCOME FUND VIII, (A CALIFORNIA LIMITED PARTNERSHIP) NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (4) Net Lease Revenue Net lease revenue is determined by deducting direct operating expenses, management fees and reimbursed administrative expenses 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 for the three-month periods ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, was as follows:
Three Months Ended ------------------ March 31, March 31, 1996 1995 ---- ---- Rental revenue $737,442 $820,447 Rental equipment operating expenses 189,957 148,503 Base management fees 49,439 58,000 Reimbursed administrative expenses 41,735 45,124 -------- -------- $456,311 $568,820 ======== ========
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, 1996 and December 31, 1995. During the first quarter of 1996, the Registrant disposed of 27 containers as part of its ongoing operations, contributing to the changes in the Registrant's financial condition. At March 31, 1996, 93% of the original equipment remained in the Registrant's fleet, as compared to 94% at December 31, 1995, and was comprised of the following:
40-Foot 20-Foot 40-Foot High Cube ------- ------- --------- Containers on lease: Term leases 136 211 10 Master lease 1,469 1,495 112 ----- ----- --- Subtotal 1,605 1,706 122 Containers off lease 474 528 20 ----- ----- --- Total container fleet 2,079 2,234 142 ===== ===== ===
40-Foot 20-Foot 40-Foot High Cube ------- ------- --------- Units % Units % Units % ----- - ----- - ----- - Total purchases 2,244 100% 2,396 100% 150 100% Less disposals 165 7% 162 7% 8 5% ----- --- ----- --- --- --- Remaining fleet at March 31, 1996 2,079 93% 2,234 93% 142 95% ===== === ===== === === ===
Net lease receivables at March 31, 1996 increased when compared to December 31, 1995, as cash collections of outstanding receivables slowed. A slightly smaller fleet size and the related operating results also contributed to the increase in net lease receivables, as the damage protection reserve, reimbursed administrative expenses payable, and base management fees payable declined. During the first quarter of 1996, distributions from operations and sales proceeds amounted to $597,780, reflecting distributions to the general and limited partners for the fourth quarter of 1995. This represents a decline from the $649,274 distributed during the fourth quarter of 1995, reflecting distributions for the third quarter of 1995. The Registrant's efforts to dispose of the remaining fleet should produce lower operating results and, consequently, lower distributions to its partners in subsequent periods. The statements contained in the following discussion are based on current expectations. These statements are forward looking and actual results may differ materially. The container leasing market generally softened during the fourth quarter of 1995 and has remained so during the first quarter of 1996. At March 31, 1996, container inventories remained at larger than usual levels, resulting in a decline in the Registrant's utilization rate from 87% at December 31, 1995 to 79% at March 31, 1996. During the first quarter of 1996, the Leasing Company implemented various marketing strategies, including but not limited to, offering incentives to shipping companies and repositioning containers to high demand locations in order to counter these market conditions. The Leasing Company expects the Registrant to recognize the benefits of these efforts during the next few quarters of 1996. However, base per-diem rental rates have recently become subject to downward pressures within the container leasing market. A reduction in per-diem rental rates, combined with current utilization levels, could impact the Registrant's results from operations during the remainder of 1996. 10 11 2) Material changes in the results of operations between the three-month period ended March 31, 1996 and the three- month period ended March 31, 1995. Net lease revenue for the first quarter of 1996 was $456,311, a decline of approximately 20% from the first quarter of 1995. Approximately 11% of the Registrant's net earnings for the three-month period ended March 31, 1996, were from gain on disposal of equipment, as compared to 4% for the same three-month period in the prior year. As the Registrant's container disposals increase in subsequent periods, net gain on disposal will contribute significantly to the Registrant's net earnings. Gross rental revenue (a component of net lease revenue) for the quarter was $737,442, a decline of 10% from the same period last year. During 1996, gross rental revenue was primarily impacted by the Registrant's lower utilization levels. Average per-diem rental rates remained relatively stable when compared to the same period in the prior year. The Registrant's average fleet size and utilization rates for the three-month periods ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 were as follows:
Three Months Ended ------------------ March 31, March 31, 1996 1995 ---- ---- Average Fleet Size (measured in twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU)) 6,856 7,055 Average Utilization 79% 87%
The Registrant's aging and declining fleet size contributed to a 2% decline in depreciation expense when compared to the same period in the prior year. Rental equipment operating expenses were 26% of the Registrant's gross lease revenue during the three-month period ended March 31, 1996, as compared to 18% during the three-month period ended March 31, 1995. This increase was largely attributable to an increase in costs associated with lower utilization levels, including handling, storage and repositioning. 11 12 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION Item 6.
