Capital Builders Development Properties II

(A California Limited Partnership)

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2002

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND

ORGANIZATION

A summary of the significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of the accompanying financial statements follows:

Basis of Accounting

The financial statements of Capital Builders Development Properties II (The "Partnership") are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting and therefore revenue is recorded as earned and costs and expenses are recorded as incurred.

Organization

Capital Builders Development Properties II, a California Limited Partnership, is owned under the laws of the State of California. The Managing General Partner is Capital Builders, Inc., a California corporation (CB).

The Partnership is in the business of real estate development and is not a significant factor in its industry. The Partnership's investment properties are located near major urban areas and, accordingly, compete not only with similar properties in their immediate areas but with hundreds of properties throughout the urban areas. Such competition is primarily on the basis of locations, rents, services and amenities. In addition, the Partnership competes with significant numbers of individuals and organizations (including similar companies, real estate investment trusts and financial institutions) with respect to the purchase and sale of land, primarily on the basis of the prices and terms of such transactions.

Investment Properties

Long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceed the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.

The Partnership's investment property consists of commercial land, buildings and leasehold improvements that are carried net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided for in amounts sufficient to relate the cost of depreciable assets to operations over their estimated service lives of three to forty years. The straight-line method of depreciation is followed for financial reporting purposes.

Other Assets

Included in other assets are loan fees. Loan fees are amortized over the life of the related note.

Lease Commissions

Lease commissions are costs associated with obtaining leases with terms in excess of one year. The Partnership capitalizes these costs and amortizes them on a straight line basis over their related lease term.

Income Taxes

The Partnership has no provision for income taxes since all income or losses are reported separately on the individual Partners' tax returns.

Revenue Recognition

Rental income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease, which may differ from the scheduled rental payments.

Net Loss per Limited Partnership Unit

The net loss per Limited Partnership Unit is computed based on the weighted average number of Units outstanding of 23,030 during the nine months ending September 30, 2002 and 2001.

Statement of Cash Flows

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Partnership considers all short-term investments with a maturity, at date of purchase, of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements requires Partnership Management to make estimates and judgments that effect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, Partnership Management evaluates its estimates, including those related to long-lived assets, accounts receivable, and contingencies and litigation. Partnership Management bases its estimates on current information, historical experience and or various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the recognition of revenue that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 

NOTE 2 - RELATED PARTY EXPENSE REIMBURSEMENT AND FEE ARRANGEMENT

The Managing General Partner (Capital Builders, Inc.) and the Associate General Partners are entitled to reimbursement of expenses incurred on behalf of the Partnership and certain fees from the Partnership. These fees include: a portion of the sales commissions payable by the Partnership with respect to the sale of the Partnership Units; an acquisition fee of up to 12.5% of gross proceeds from the sale of the Partnership Units; a property management fee up to 6% of gross rental revenues realized by the Partnership with respect to its properties; a subordinated real estate commission of up to 3% of the gross sales price of the properties; and a subordinated 25% share of the Partnership's distributions of cash from sales or refinancing. The property management fee currently being charged is 5% of gross rental revenues collected.

All acquisition fees and expenses, all underwriting commissions, and all offering and organizational expenses which can be paid are limited to 20% of the gross proceeds from sales of Partnership Units provided the Partnership incurs no borrowing to develop its properties. However, these fees may increase to a maximum of 33% of the gross offering proceeds based upon the total acquisition and development costs, including borrowing. Since the formation of the Partnership, 27.5% of these fees were paid to the Partnership's related parties, leaving a remaining maximum of 5.5% ($633,325) of the gross offering proceeds. The ultimate amount of these costs will be determined once the properties are fully developed and leveraged.

The total management fees paid to the Managing General Partner were $99,764 and $98,328 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively, while total reimbursement of expenses was $221,596 and $199,575 respectively.

Management fees are classified on the Statements of Operations as an Operating Expense and in Discontinued Operations. Reimbursement of expenses are primarily for investor services, preparation of SEC filings, audit coordination and other Partnership management functions. Expense reimbursements are classified as General and Administrative expenses on the Statements of Operations and in Discontinued Operations.

In accordance with the Partnership Agreement, the General Partner may hire outside consultants or perform the necessary accounting, reporting and investor service functions internally, and pass through the associated costs. It has been determined by the General Partner that if outside consultants were to perform these functions, the related costs would be substantially higher to the Partnership.

The Managing General Partner will reduce its future participation in proceeds from sales by an amount equal to the loss on the abandonment of option fees in 1988 ($110,000) and interest on the amount at a rate equal to that of the borrowed funds rate as determined by construction or permanent funds utilized by the Partnership.

The Partnership is in compliance with all restrictive debt covenants as of September 30, 2002.

Scheduled principal payments during the remainder of 2002 and 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 and thereafter are $6,392,847, $1,310,966, $70,106, 75,904 and $3,874,621, respectively.

The Partnership's Highlands 80 Phase I mini-permanent and Phase II construction loans will become due during the fourth quarter of 2002. As of September 30, 2002, the Partnership had four out of the project's eight buildings under contract for sale. Subsequent to September 30, 2002, the Partnership closed on three of the buildings which provided sufficient net proceeds to pay down the Highlands 80 Phase I and Phase II loans entirely. It is anticipated that the remaining building under contract will close prior to December 31, 2002, and will provide sufficient proceeds to pay down the remaining Highlands 80 Phase III loan.

 

NOTE 5 - DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

During the month of July, 2002, the Highlands 80 project was listed for sale. In accordance with the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" (FAS 144), the current year results of Operations from the Highlands 80 project have been classified as discontinued, and all prior periods presented have also been reflected as discontinued operations. Additionally, the Partnership discontinued recording depreciation and amortization expense for the Highlands 80 project in July 2002 and reclassified the Highlands 80 property from investment property to property held for sale. As of September 30, 2002, the Partnership had not finalized any sales of the project's buildings.

Net loss from discontinued operations on the statements of operations includes all operating revenues and all expenses of H80 including interest associated with debt specifically collateralized by the H80 property.

The balance sheets separately identify assets and liabilities relating to discontinued operations if the assets and liabilities are included in the disposal group. Assets in the disposal group include assets to be disposed of together as a group as part of the sales transactions. Liabilities in the disposal group include liabilities directly associated with assets that will be transferred or directly settled in the sales transactions.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2002, the Partnership entered into four sales contracts to sell four out of the eight Highlands 80 buildings. The contract sales prices totaled $8,882,000. Subsequent to September 30, 2002 and through October 24, 2002, the Partnership had closed on three of the sale contracts and utilized the entire net proceeds to pay down both the Highlands 80 Phase I and Phase II loan balances. These sales resulted in an estimated gain of approximately $1,550,000.

The remaining sales contract is expected to close prior to December 31, 2002. The net proceeds from this sale will be utilized to pay down the remaining Highlands 80 Phase III loan.

NOTE 8 - RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations (SFAS No. 143). This statement requires an enterprise to record the fair value of an asset retirement obligation as a liability in the period in which it incurs a legal obligation associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets. SFAS No. 143 also requires the enterprise to record the contra to the initial obligation as an increase to the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset, i.e., the associated asset retirement costs, and to depreciate that cost over the life of the asset. The liability is increased at the end of each period to reflect the passage of time, i.e., accretion expense, and changes in the estimated future cash flows underlying the initial fair value measurement. The Partnership is required to adopt SFAS No. 143 on January 1, 2003. This statement is not expected to have a material impact on the Partnership's financial reporting and related disclosures.

 

NOTE 9 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Partnership is involved in litigation arising in the normal course of its business. In the opinion of management, the Partnership's recovery or liability if any, under any pending litigation would not materially affect its financial condition or results of operations.

 

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Partnership commenced operations on May 22, 1986 upon the sale of the minimum number of Limited Partnership Units. The Partnership's initial source of cash was from the sale of Limited Partnership Units. Through the offering of Units, the Partnership raised $11,515,000 (represented by 23,030 Limited Partnership Units). Cash generated from the sale of Limited Partnership Units was used to acquire land and for the development of a mixed use commercial project and a 40% interest in a commercial office project. In May 1997, the remaining 60% interest in the project was acquired.

The Partnership's primary current sources of cash are from cash balances, property rental income and construction financing for Phase II and Phase III improvements. As of September 30, 2002, the Partnership had $316,850 in cash and $1,171,365 in available construction loan draws for Highlands 80 Phase II and Phase III. It is the Partnership's investment goal to utilize existing capital resources for continued leasing operations (tenant improvements and leasing commissions). Both of the Partnership's projects have achieved occupancy and rental rates sufficient to meet its expected current and future debt service obligations.

The Partnership's scheduled principal and interest payments during the remainder of 2002 and 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006 are $7,077,031, $1,643,052, $387,996, $387,996 and $3,900,355, respectively. The scheduled interest payments assume fixed rates of interest of 8.95% and 7.97% for fixed rate debt and a variable interest rate of 5.4% (effective as of September 30, 2002) for variable rate debt.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2002, the Partnership expended $572,502 on improvements for its discontinued property (Highlands 80) and $6,880 on Capital Professional Center. These improvements consisted of the construction of Highlands 80 Phase III (a 27,664 sq. foot office building) and tenant improvements for both of the Partnership's properties. The Partnership funded these improvements with $70,730 of cash provided by operations and $508,652 from Highlands 80 construction loan proceeds. The Partnership's remaining cash provided from operations ($28,650) was utilized to pay scheduled principal payments on its permanent loans.

The Partnership could continue to incur improvement costs as the Phase III building is leased. The total projected tenant improvement costs that could be incurred to lease up Phase III is estimated to be $810,000. These costs would be funded with the Highlands 80 Phase III construction loan draws, if incurred prior to its expected loan payoff or maturity. If these costs are incurred subsequent to the loan pay-off, then they will be funded by cash accounts and net cash proceeds resulting from the sale of the remaining building under contract to be sold prior to December 31, 2002.

Management is currently evaluating a strategy to sell the Phase III building to a possible owner/user. The Partnership could potentially not incur any additional lease-up costs for Phase III if this is achieved.

Management anticipates cash provided from operations to remain positive. The Partnership's property where operations are continuing (Capital Professional Center) remains 100% occupied and is producing a positive cash flow.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2002, the Partnership paid $99,764 in management fees to its Managing General Partner. Management fees are classified on the Statements of Operations as an Operating Expense and in Discontinued Operations. The General Partner is currently charging 5% of collected revenue.

The Partnership's ability to maintain or improve cash flow is dependent upon its ability to maintain and improve the occupancy of its investment property and to complete the sale strategy for its discontinued property, Highlands 80. Management believes the Partnership's financial resources should be adequate to meet 2002's obligations and no adverse change in liquidity is foreseen. The Partnership's properties' current market values are in excess of its total liabilities. Management is currently working on a sale strategy that could potentially involve selling the entire Highlands 80 project and selling Capital Professional Center by the first quarter of 2003.

During the first quarter of 2002, the Highlands 80 Phase III building shell and site were finalized, completing the development of the Highlands 80 project. The Partnership potentially could incur costs for the Phase III interior buildout (i.e. - tenant improvements and lobby corridors) since the building currently has no signed tenants; and, as lease-up occurs, costs would be incurred. Although leasing has not been completed for Phase III, Management has begun its strategy of selling the Partnership's properties and making distributions to its Limited Partners.

Management's strategy for selling the Partnership's assets involves:

1) Parcelizing Highlands 80 so each building can potentially be sold to individual buyers, which could increase the Partnership's ability to achieve higher sales prices;

2) Preparing the properties for sale;

3) Listing the properties for sale with a major brokerage firm;

4) Begin selling the properties by the beginning of the third quarter 2002, potentially having all the buildings, including Capital Professional Center, sold by the end of first quarter 2003; and

5) Subsequent to the final property sale, distribute sales net proceeds, net of Partnership obligations, to limited partners (estimated to be during the second or third quarter of 2003).

As of September 30, 2002, Management has accomplished the property's parcelization; has prepared the properties for sale; has listed the Highlands 80 buildings for sale; and has entered into four contracts totaling $8,882,000 to sell four out of the eight Highlands 80 buildings. Subsequent to September 30, 2002, the Partnership closed three out of the four sales contracts, totaling $6,600,000, and expects to close the remaining sales contract ($2,222,000) on December 1, 2002 and utilize the net sales proceeds ($1,257,877) from the remaining sale contract to payoff the remaining Highlands 80 Phase III loan. Proceeds from the three sales were utilized to pay off the Highlands 80 Phase I and Phase II loans.

Management will not adopt a strategy for dissolving the Partnership until such time as a majority of the Partnership's properties have been sold and sales contracts for the balance of the properties are pending.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The Partnership's discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations are based upon the Partnership's financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of financial statements requires Partnership Management to make estimates and judgments that effect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, Partnership Management evaluates its estimates, including those related to long-lived assets, accounts receivable, deferred revenue, and contingencies and litigation. Additionally, on an on-going basis Partnership Management also evaluates the debt obligations of the Partnership and evaluates the Partnership's ability to satisfy these obligations. Partnership Management bases its estimates on current information, historical experience and or various other assum ptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the recognition of revenue that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

The Partnership believes the following critical accounting policy affects its more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its financial statements:

Valuation of Investment Property (Long-Lived Assets) and Property Held for Sale:

Investment property is evaluated for impairment on a continual basis based on the property's occupancy levels, annual cash flows, and projected cash flows based on the rental market and other factors including prospective new tenants. Property held for sale is measured at the lower of its carrying value or fair value less cost to sell. Additionally, the Partnership discontinued recording depreciation and amortization expense for the Highlands 80 project in July 2002.

Debt Obligations:

Partnership management also believes that the evaluation of the Partnership's debt obligations and the Partnership's ability to satisfy these obligations is critical in the preparation of its financial statements.

Partnership Management evaluates the debt obligations of the Partnership continually and determines the Partnership's ability to satisfy debt obligations through either refinancing, repayment, or various other strategic methods including potential sale of the property.

Results of Operations

During the nine months ended September 30, 2002 as compared to September 30, 2001, the Partnership's total revenues decreased by $57,492 (8%), while its expenses increased by $6,008 (.9%), resulting in an increase in net loss from continuing operations of $63,500.

The decrease in revenue is primarily due to a decline in rental income and a decline in interest earned on the Partnership's cash reserves. The decline in rental income is primarily the result of the Partnership''s average occupancy declining to 96% during the period ended September 30, 2002 from 100% during the period ended September 30, 2001. The decline in interest income was the result of lower interest rates and a decline in the Partnership's average cash reserve balance.

Expenses increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, as compared to September 30, 2001, primarily due to the net effect of:

a) $19,227 (15.2%) increase in repairs and maintenance due to suite turnover costs at Capital Professional Center;

b) $8,451 (31.4%) decrease in general and administrative due to supervision costs related to the lobby improvements performed during 2001; and

c) $3,537 (1.4%) decrease in interest due to scheduled declining amortized loan balance.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2002 as compared to September 30, 2001, the Partnership's loss from discontinued operations increased by $154,582 (130%) due to expenses incurred preparing the properties for sale.

During the third quarter ended September 30, 2002 as compared to September 30, 2001, revenues from continuing operations increased by $3,927 (1.8%), while expenses also increased $3,561 (1.4%).

The increase in revenues is primarily due to increases in base rental rates. The increase in expenses are primarily due to normal inflationary increases.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISKS

The Partnership does not have a material market risk due to financial instruments held by the Partnership. The Partnership has two variable rate instruments, both for Highlands 80 construction loans; the Phase II loan in the amount of $1,890,758 and $1,863,759 at September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively and the Phase III loan in the amount of $1,257,877 and $776,225 at September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Within 90 days prior to the date of this Form 10-Q, the Partnership carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Partnership's management, including the Partnership's President along with the Partnership's Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Partnership's disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-14. Based upon that evaluation, the Partnership's President along with the Partnership's Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Partnership's disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to the Partnership required to be included in this Form 10-Q.

There have been no significant changes in the Partnership's internal controls, or in other factors, which could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the date the Partnership carried out its evaluation.
