NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997 AND 1996
(Unaudited)


1.  The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been 
prepared by the Company. Certain information and note 
disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared 
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles 
have been condensed or omitted. In the opinion of management, 
the accompanying consolidated financial statements 
contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the 
financial position as of March 31, 1997 and the results of 
operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31,
1997 and 1996.

The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 
1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be 
expected for the full year.

2.  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 
generally accepted accounting principles requires management 
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. Estimates also affect the reported amounts of 
revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual 
results could differ from those estimates.

3. Properties and equipment:

</TABLE>


5.  Description of leasing arrangements:

 At March 31, 1997, the Company had entered into land leases for 
three separate land parcels with remaining terms of up to 96 
years. The Company also leases various parcels of land 
principally for outdoor advertising and surface parking for 
remaining terms of up to 27 years.

<PAGE>

For those leases with scheduled rent increases, the cumulative 
excess of straight-line over contractual rentals (considering 
scheduled rent increases over the initial 30 to 102-year terms 
of the leases) amounted to $10,029,000 through March 31, 1997. 
Management has been able to conclude that a portion of the 
excess of straight-line over contractual rentals ($391,000 at 
March 31, 1997) is realizable when payable over the terms of 
the leases. 

6.  Income taxes:

Deferred income taxes are recorded based upon differences 
between financial statement and tax bases of assets and 
liabilities. The tax effects of temporary differences which 
give rise to deferred tax assets and liabilities at March 31, 
1997 were as follows:

   Excess of straight-line over contractual
      rental income                                      162,000
                                                       1,523,000
 Gross deferred tax assets, principally 
   professional fees                                    (174,000)
                                                      $1,349,000
</TABLE>

7.  Petroleum storage facilities:

Since October 1, 1991, the Company's petroleum storage 
facilities (the Facilities) had been leased under a 5-year 
agreement under which the tenant paid an annual rental of 
$183,000 plus reimbursement of property taxes (approximately 
$90,000 annually), which lease terminated September 30, 1996.

In 1994, a leak was discovered in a 25,000 barrel storage tank 
at the Facilities which allowed the escape of a small amount 
of fuel oil. The tank was emptied and all required notices 
were made to the appropriate environmental agency (the 
agency).  To date, monitoring wells have shown no ground water 
contamination, and the leak has been contained in the soil 
under the tank. The Company's engineering consultants (the 
consultants) are working with the agency to determine the 
extent of remediation. The consultants have proposed several 
acceptable options and have determined a range of estimated 
costs (including professional fees) to be $27,000 (for the 
capping of the contaminated area) to $383,000 (for the 
complete removal of the contaminated soil and its off-site 
disposal). The agency has advised the Company that it will 
accept the capping of the contaminated area as an appropriate 
remediation measure, subject to the placement of a notice on 
the Company's deed describing the location of the contaminated 
area. 

During 1995, the former tenant informed the Company of the 
erosion of a slope and damage to a retaining wall which caused 
the washing away of several tons of soil. The consultants have 
proposed several options and have determined a range of 
estimated costs (including professional fees) to be $15,000 
(to repair the eroded channel) to $136,000 (to include the 
replacement of the retaining wall).

In 1995, the Company provided for the estimated costs to 
remediate the contaminated soil and repair the erosion 
situation by reporting a liability and a corresponding 
receivable from the former tenant for $42,000. In 1996, the 
Company paid $15,000 to repair a portion of the erosion 
situation, which amount reduced the reported liability to 
$27,000. At March 31, 1997, the Company is reporting on the 
accompanying consolidated balance sheet the aforementioned 
liability of $27,000 in accrued expenses, other, and a $42,000 
receivable from the former tenant which is included in other 
receivables.

Management is of the opinion that the terms of the lease not 
only make the former tenant solely responsible for the payment 
of all costs to remediate the contaminated soil and to 
 
<PAGE>

repair the erosion of the slope and retaining wall, but also 
required the former tenant to return the Facilities at the 
termination of the lease in a condition substantially the same 
as when the former tenant took possession. After the former 
tenant vacated the Facilities and emptied the tanks, the 
Company inspected the Facilities and determined that one of 
the tanks had a structural failure. During 1996, the Company 
repaired the tank at a cost of $65,000.

Since 1985, the Company has been a party to an agreement 
covering the operation and maintenance of the Pier, which Pier 
is owned by Providence and Worcester Railroad Company 
(Railroad). In 1991, the agreement was amended by the parties 
then subject to the agreement who were the Company, Railroad 
and two major oil companies. The agreement provides that the 
parties will share the cost of operating and maintaining the 
Pier, which costs are allocated annually among the parties 
based on their relative usage of the Pier as measured by 
vessel berthing hours. Since 1991, Railroad has notified the 
parties of the need for several significant repair and 
maintenance projects to the Pier and has attempted to obtain 
agreement among the parties to proceed with such repairs. In 
1996, Railroad notified the parties that the estimated cost of 
the repair and maintenance projects totalled approximately 
$1,100,000 and requested the parties to consent to its 
undertaking such projects. All of the parties except one have 
consented. All of the Company's responsibilities and
obligations under this agreement were assumed by the former 
tenant in accordance with the terms of its lease. Although the 
former tenant has paid for certain on-going operating costs,
it does not agree that it is responsible for any portion of 
the costs of the repair and maintenance projects. The Company 
is unable to determine what its share of the costs will be as 
well as when reimbursement will be due Railroad.

Because the former tenant does not agree that it is responsible 
for any of the aforementioned costs, the Company has initiated 
arbitration proceedings before the American Arbitration 
Association in accordance with the lease provisions. In 
connection with the arbitration proceedings, the former tenant 
has again denied responsibility and has set forth 
counterclaims asserting that it is entitled to recover $96,000 
plus interest from the Company for operating expenses. The 
Company denies any liability in connection with the 
counterclaims. The arbitration proceedings will decide the 
responsibilities of the parties, which decision is final. The 
proceedings are scheduled to commence in June 1997, and the 
Company expects that a decision will be rendered shortly 
thereafter. The arbitration could find that the Company is 
financially responsible for some or all of the disputed costs. 


8.  Property tax abatement:

During 1995, the Company received notice of an increase in the 
assessed valuation of several of its parcels in Providence, 
Rhode Island. The increase in the assessment was not the 
result of a city-wide revaluation, pertained to 1995 and 
subsequent years and resulted in an annual increase in 
property taxes of $265,000. The Company has filed appeals for 
1995 and 1996 but was required to make property tax payments 
as due pending the outcome of the appeals. During the fourth 
quarter of 1996, the City reduced the assessed valuation on 
one of the parcels, resulting in an abatement of property 
taxes of $107,000 for 1995 and a reduction in the tax of 
$115,000 for 1996. The Company is unable to determine if the 
remaining appeals will result in an abatement of the property 
taxes for 1995 and 1996 and the lowering of property taxes for 
1997 and thereafter.


9.  Transactions with related parties:

A trust for the benefit of the controlling shareholder is the 
holder of rights with respect to the use of the Pier and two 
petroleum pipelines located in East Providence, Rhode Island. 
Since February 1983, the Company and the tenant of its 
Facilities have had the right to utilize the pipelines for the 
transportation of petroleum products, in consideration for 
which the Company and its tenant are obligated to pay the 
trust a fee based upon the number of barrels of product 
transported through the pipelines. The fee is subject to 
adjustment as of October 1 of each year to reflect changes in 
the Consumer Price Index.

<PAGE>

The Company has the option to purchase the rights of the trust 
at any time during the twelve-month period following September 
30, 1997, at a price equal to twice the payments due for the 
twelve-month period ending September 30, 1997, but not less 
than $50,000.  Based upon estimated usage for the twelve-month 
period ending September 30, 1997, the price would be $50,000. 
The Company can assign its rights to purchase to a third 
party. Should the Company not purchase or assign the rights of the 
trust, the Company's responsibility will continue indefinitely 
under the present arrangement. 


10. Pending litigation and subsequent event:
 
In connection with the River Relocation Project, in 1987 the 
State of Rhode Island condemned a portion of the Company's 
property and paid an award of $2,600,000. As part of an 
agreement to purchase another parcel of land from the State, 
the Company was required to return to the State a portion of 
the condemnation award ($1,600,000).

In April 1988, the Company filed a petition in the Rhode Island 
Superior Court for an increased condemnation award alleging 
that the award paid in 1987 was inadequate. In January 1992, 
the Superior Court awarded the Company an additional 
condemnation award of $401,000 plus interest from the date of 
the condemnation. The interest is calculated by using a 
published Treasury bill rate which compounds annually and, 
through December 31, 1996, totals approximately 66% of any 
additional award. The Company had asserted in the Superior 
Court that it was entitled to an additional condemnation award 
in excess of $6,000,000 plus interest, and accordingly, in 
February 1992, the Company appealed the decision of the 
Superior Court to the Rhode Island Supreme Court. In January 
1994, the Supreme Court overturned the Superior Court decision 
and returned the matter to the Superior Court for a retrial of 
the case. The case was retried in 1995, and on March 5, 1997, 
the Superior Court issued a decision awarding the Company an 
additional $6,100,000 plus interest. The Company filed a 
motion for entry of final judgment. On May 6, 1997, the Court 
entered final judgment in favor of the Company in the total 
amount of $10,653,000. The State has moved to re-open the 
proceedings based upon newly discovered evidence. The Court 
has scheduled a hearing on the State's motion for May 23, 
1997. The State will have an opportunity to file an appeal 
after the proceedings before the Superior Court are completed. 
Should an appeal be filed, management is unable to predict 
when the matter will be heard.  Under the aforementioned 
agreement, the Company may be required to return to the State 
a portion of any additional award as and when finally 
determined.

CAPITAL PROPERTIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation

Financial condition:

A significant portion of the Company's land consists of approximately 
20.5 acres, including 1.9 acres of air rights, in downtown 
Providence, Rhode Island, held for development. The Company is 
engaged in discussions concerning the possible development of 
other parcels but is unable to predict when leases on additional 
parcels will commence; however, the Company will continue to use 
the available parcels for public surface parking.

Since October 1, 1991, the Company's petroleum storage facilities 
(the Facilities) had been leased under a 5-year agreement under 
which the tenant paid an annual rental of $183,000 plus 
reimbursement of property taxes (approximately $90,000 annually), 
which lease terminated September 30, 1996.

In 1994, a leak was discovered in a 25,000 barrel storage tank at 
the Facilities which allowed the escape of a small amount of fuel 
oil. The tank was emptied and all required notices were made to 
the appropriate environmental agency (the agency).  To date, 
monitoring wells have shown no ground water contamination, and 
the leak has been contained in the soil under the tank. The 
Company's engineering consultants (the consultants) are working 
with the agency to determine the extent of remediation. The 
consultants have proposed several acceptable options and have 
determined a range of estimated costs (including professional 
fees) to be $27,000 (for the capping of the contaminated area) to 
$383,000 (for the complete removal of the contaminated soil and 
its off-site disposal). The agency has advised the Company that 
it will accept the capping of the contaminated area as an 
appropriate remediation measure, subject to the placement of a 
notice on the Companys deed describing the location of the 
contaminated area. 

During 1995, the former tenant informed the Company of the 
erosion of a slope and damage to a retaining wall which caused 
the washing away of several tons of soil. The consultants have 
proposed several options and have determined a range of estimated 
costs (including professional fees) to be $15,000 (to repair the 
eroded channel) to $136,000 (to include the replacement of the 
retaining wall).

In 1995, the Company provided for the estimated costs to 
remediate the contaminated soil and repair the erosion situation 
by reporting a liability and a corresponding receivable from the 
former tenant for $42,000. In 1996, the Company paid $15,000 to 
repair a portion of the erosion situation, which amount reduced 
the reported liability to $27,000. At March 31, 1997, the Company 
is reporting on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet the 
aforementioned liability of $27,000 in accrued expenses, other, 
and a $42,000 receivable from the former tenant which is included 
in other receivables.

Management is of the opinion that the terms of the lease not only 
make the former tenant solely responsible for the payment of all 
costs to remediate the contaminated soil and to repair the 
erosion of the slope and retaining wall, but also required the 
former tenant to return the Facilities at the termination of the 
lease in a condition substantially the same as when the former 
tenant took possession. After the former tenant vacated the 
Facilities and emptied the tanks, the Company inspected the 
Facilities and determined that one of the tanks had a structural 
failure. During 1996, the Company repaired the tank at a cost of 
$65,000.

Since 1985, the Company has been a party to an agreement covering 
the operation and maintenance of the Pier, which Pier is owned by 
Providence and Worcester Railroad Company (Railroad). In 1991, 
the agreement was amended by the parties then subject to the 
agreement who were the Company, Railroad and two major oil 
companies. The agreement provides that the parties will share the 
cost of operating and maintaining the Pier, which costs are 
allocated annually among the parties based on their relative 
usage of the Pier as measured by vessel berthing hours. Since 
1991, Railroad has notified the parties of the need for several 
significant repair and maintenance projects to the Pier and has 
attempted to obtain agreement among the 

<PAGE>

parties to proceed with such repairs. In 1996, Railroad notified 
the parties that the estimated cost of the repair and maintenance 
projects totaled approximately $1,100,000 and requested the 
parties to consent to its undertaking such projects. All of the 
parties except one have consented. All of the Company's 
responsibilities and obligations under this agreement were 
assumed by the former tenant in accordance with the terms of its 
lease. Although the former tenant has paid for certain on-going 
operating costs, it does not agree that it is responsible for any 
portion of the costs of the repair and maintenance projects. The 
Company is unable to determine what its share of the costs will 
be as well as when reimbursement will be due Railroad.

Because the former tenant does not agree that it is responsible 
for any of the aforementioned costs, the Company has initiated 
arbitration proceedings before the American Arbitration 
Association in accordance with the lease provisions. In 
connection with the arbitration proceedings, the former tenant 
has again denied responsibility and has set forth counterclaims 
asserting that it is entitled to recover $96,000 plus interest 
from the Company for operating expenses. The Company denies any 
liability in connection with the counterclaims. The arbitration 
proceedings will decide the responsibilities of the parties, 
which decision is final. The proceedings are scheduled to 
commence in June 1997, and the Company expects that a decision 
will be rendered shortly thereafter. The arbitration could find 
that the Company is financially responsible for some or all of 
the disputed costs. 

On October 1, 1996, the Company took possession of the Facilities and 
is currently in negotiations with several oil companies to enter 
into thru-put arrangements under which the Company would receive, 
store and disburse product (thru-put) for such companies. 
However, there is no assurance when and if such arrangements can 
be completed. In the absence of such arrangements, the annual 
cash outlay to maintain the Facilities is approximately $240,000. 
Pending the completion of thru-put arrangements, the Company 
began purchasing petroleum products which it stores at the 
Facilities and resells.

Certain portions of this statement, and particularly the Management's 
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of 
Operations and the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, 
contain forward-looking statements which represent the Company's 
expectations or beliefs concerning future events. The Company 
cautions that these statements are further qualified by important 
factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from 
those in the forward-looking statements.

<PAGE>

Results of operations:

For the three months ended March 31, 1997, total income decreased 
approximately 7% from the 1995 level.

The decrease in rental income resulted from the termination of 
the lease of the Facilities on September 30, 1996. Expenses 
applicable to petroleum storage facilities include certain 
expenses which were included in expenses applicable to rental 
income prior to the termination of the lease.

Income applicable to garage and surface parking decreased due to 
reduced usage. Expenses applicable to garage and surface parking 
decreased due to the lowering in property taxes resulting from
the Company's appeal.

The decrease in interest income on the note receivable from 
Railroad results from a prepayment of $200,000 in May 1996.

General and administrative expenses increased 10% due principally 
to an increase in payroll and related costs.
