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 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. (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 September 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995 were as follows:
September 30, December 31, 1996 1995 ------------- ------------ Lease receivables, net of doubtful accounts of $157,795 at September 30, 1996 and $136,750 at December 31, 1995 $624,651 $773,483 Less: Direct operating payables and accrued expenses 164,438 166,803 Damage protection reserve 40,389 92,138 Base management fees 53,561 75,211 Reimbursed administrative expenses 11,337 13,839 -------- -------- $354,926 $425,492 ======== ========
(3) Due to General Partner The amount due to CCC at December 31, 1995 consists 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 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 $633,244 $ 836,443 $2,047,309 $2,525,657 Rental equipment operating expenses 185,615 215,497 584,406 526,996 Base management fees 43,667 55,495 137,592 170,621 Reimbursed administrative expenses 38,925 50,796 119,190 141,726 -------- ---------- ---------- ---------- $365,037 $ 514,655 $1,206,121 $1,686,314 ======== ========== ========== ==========
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. During the first nine months of 1996, the Registrant disposed of 181 containers as part of its ongoing operations, contributing to the change in the Registrant's financial condition. At September 30, 1996, 90% of the original equipment remained in the Registrant's fleet, as compared to 94% at December 31, 1995, comprised as follows:
40-Foot 20-Foot 40-Foot High-Cube ------- ------- --------- Containers on lease: Term leases 130 212 11 Master lease 1,332 1,377 107 ----- ----- --- Subtotal 1,462 1,589 118 Containers off lease 574 540 18 ----- ----- --- Total container fleet 2,036 2,129 136 ===== ===== === 40-Foot 20-Foot 40-Foot High-Cube ---------------- ----------------- ----------------- Units % Units % Units % Total purchases 2,244 100% 2,396 100% 150 100% Less disposals 208 9% 267 11% 14 9% ----- --- ----- --- --- --- Remaining fleet at September 30, 1996 2,036 91% 2,129 89% 136 91% ===== === ===== === === ===
Net lease receivables at September 30, 1996, declined when compared to December 31, 1995. Contributing to this decline were favorable collections of the Registrant's lease receivables, a reduction in the Registrant's average fleet size, and its related operating performance. The reduction in fleet size and its related operating performance also contributed to a decline in direct operating payables, damage protection reserve, reimbursed administrative expenses payable, and base management fees payable. During the third quarter of 1996, distributions from operations and sales proceeds amounted to $482,850, reflecting distributions to the general and limited partners for the second quarter of 1996. This represents a decline from the $530,613 distributed during the second quarter of 1996, reflecting distributions for the first quarter of 1996. Additional container disposals should contribute to lower operating results and, consequently, lower distributions from operations to its partners in subsequent periods. However, sales proceeds distributed to its partners may fluctuate in subsequent periods, reflecting the level of container disposals. The statements contained in the following discussion are based on current expectations. These statements are forward looking and actual results may differ materially. Indicative of the cyclical nature of the container leasing business, containerized trade growth slowed in the last quarter of 1995, and excess inventories began to develop. This slowdown has resulted in reduced equipment utilization and lower per-diem rental rates in the container leasing industry during the first nine months of 1996. Accordingly, the Registrant's utilization rate has declined from an average of 87% at December 31, 1995 to 74% at September 30, 1996. Additionally, during the first nine months 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 the market conditions. Ancillary revenues have fallen, and free-day incentives offered to the shipping lines have increased. In addition, rental equipment operating expenses of the Registrant have increased due to higher storage and handling costs associated with the off-hire fleet, and increased repositioning costs. These leasing market 10 11 conditions are expected to adversely impact the Registrant's results from operations through the remainder of 1996 and into 1997. 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. Net lease revenue for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1996 was $365,037, and $1,206,121, respectively, a decline of 29% and 28% from the same three and nine-month periods in the prior year, respectively. Approximately 15% and 10% of the Registrant's net earnings for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1996, respectively, were from gain on disposal of equipment, as compared to 2% and 3% for the same three and nine-month periods in the prior year, respectively. As the Registrant's 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 three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1996 was $633,244, and $2,047,309, respectively, reflecting a decline of 24% and 19% from the same three and nine-month periods in 1995, respectively. During 1996, gross rental revenue was primarily impacted by the Registrant's lower per-diem rental rates and utilization levels. Average per-diem rental rates decreased approximately 7% and 3%, when compared to the same three and nine-month periods in the prior year, respectively, as they became subject to the downward pressures of an increasingly soft container leasing market. The Registrant's average fleet size and utilization rates for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1996 and September 30, 1995 were as follows:
Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended ---------------------------- ----------------------------- September 30, September 30, September 30, September 30, 1996 1995 1996 1995 ------------ ------------ -------------- ------------- Average Fleet Size (measured in twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU)) 6,598 6,933 6,733 6,996 Average Utilization 76% 88% 77% 87%
The Registrant's declining fleet size contributed to a 4% and 3% decline in depreciation expense when compared to the same three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1996, respectively. Rental equipment operating expenses were 29% of the Registrant's gross lease revenue in each of the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1996, respectively, as compared to 26% and 21% during the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1995, respectively. These increases were largely attributable to a decline in gross lease revenue resulting from lower utilization rates, lower per-diem rates, a downward trend in ancillary revenue, and an increase in free-day incentives offered to shipping companies. Costs associated with lower utilization levels, including handling, storage and repositioning also contributed to the increase in the rental equipment operating expenses, as a percentage of gross lease revenue. A reduction in the Registrant's average fleet size and its related operating performance contributed to the decline in base management fees, when compared to the same periods in the prior year. 11 12 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION Item 6.
