PART I
ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.
Captec Franchise Capital Partners L.P. III (the "Partnership") is a
Delaware limited partnership formed on February 18, 1994 for the purpose of
acquiring income-producing commercial real properties and equipment which will
be leased on a "triple-net" basis primarily to operators of nationally
franchised fast-food, family style and dinner house restaurants as well as
other franchised service-type businesses. The general partners of the
Partnership are Captec Franchise Capital Corporation III (the "Managing General
Partner") and Patrick L. Beach, an individual (collectively, the "General
Partners"). The Managing General Partner is a Michigan corporation which is a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Captec Financial Group, Inc. (the "Captec Group").
The Partnership commenced a public offering (the "Offering") of up to
20,000 units of limited partnership interest (the "Units") registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, by means of a Registration Statement on
Form SB-2 which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange
Commission on August 12, 1994. Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have
the meaning ascribed to them in the Partnership's Prospectus dated August 12,
1994.
Pending sale of the Minimum Number of Units, subscribers' funds were
forwarded to Michigan National Bank, Farmington Hills, Michigan, as escrow
agent (the "Escrow Agent"), and were held by the Escrow Agent in one or more
interest-bearing accounts. On January 24, 1995, the Partnership broke impound,
at which time funds totaling $1,155,255 were released from escrow and the
Partnership immediately commenced operations. At December 31, 1996, the
Partnership had accepted subscriptions for the entire 20,000 Units and funds
from 1392 limited partners totaling $20,000,000.
The principal investment objectives of the Partnership are: (i)
preservation and protection of capital; (ii) distribution of cash flow
generated by the Partnership's leases; (iii) capital appreciation of
Partnership properties; (iv) generation of increased income and protection
against inflation through contractual escalation of base rents or
participation in gross revenues of lessees of Partnership properties; and (v)
deferred taxation of Partnership cash distributions for Limited Partners.
The Partnership intends to acquire income-producing commercial real estate
("Property") and equipment ("Equipment") which will be leased on a "triple net"
basis primarily to operators of nationally franchised fast-food, family style
and dinner house restaurants as well as other franchised service-type
businesses. The Partnership will use not less than 75% but not more than 90%
of Net Offering Proceeds to acquire Properties (primarily for lease to
restaurant franchisees) and up to 25% but not less than 10% to acquire
Equipment (for lease to restaurant and service-type franchisees). The
Properties generally will be leased on terms which provide for a base minimum
annual rent with fixed increases on specific dates or indexation of rent to
indices such as the Consumer Price Index and/or percentage rents. The
Equipment will be leased only pursuant to leases under which the present value
of non-cancelable rental payments payable during the initial term of the lease
is at least sufficient to permit a lessor to recover the purchase price of the
equipment ("Full Payout Leases").
The Partnership competes with many other entities engaged in the purchase
of triple-net leased real estate and the purchase of equipment, some of which
have greater assets than the Partnership. In addition, the number of competing
entities and the amount of funds available for investment in these types of
properties or equipment suitable for investment by the Partnership may
increase, resulting in
1
<PAGE> 4
increased competition for such investments and possible increases in the prices
paid or less favorable lease terms on the Property or Equipment.
In addition, the Partnership may compete with other entities engaged in
the disposition of Property and Equipment. The ability to locate purchasers at
the time of disposition of the Property and Equipment will depend primarily on
the success of the operating Properties, the location of the Properties and the
physical condition of the Property and Equipment. The General Partners and
their Affiliates are not aware of any current favorable or unfavorable
competitive business conditions.
The Partnership has no employees. The General Partners and their
affiliates, however, are permitted to perform services for the Partnership
pursuant to the Partnership Agreement.
ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTIES.
REAL ESTATE ACQUISITIONS
Boston Chicken Restaurant, Raleigh, North Carolina (Land and Building):
On January 31, 1995, the Partnership completed the acquisition of the land and
a 3,007 square foot building comprising a Boston Market restaurant located at
4150 Fayetteville Road in Raleigh, North Carolina (the "North Carolina
Property"). The North Carolina Property was constructed for its present use in
1994 and was fully operational at the time of the purchase. The Partnership
purchased a fee simple interest in the North Carolina Property for a purchase
price of $1,000,000 which was negotiated by an affiliate of the Managing
General Partner, which considered factors such as the potential value of the
site, the financial condition and business and operating history of the Tenant
and demographic data for the area in which the North Carolina Property is
located. The Purchase Price was supported by an independent MAI appraisal.
The North Carolina Property was purchased from, and leased back to,
Platinum Properties, L.L.C., a North Carolina limited liability company (the
"Tenant"). The Tenant, pursuant to consent from the Partnership, has sublet
the North Carolina Property to Platinum Rotisserie Corp., an affiliate of the
Tenant. Platinum Rotisserie Corp. operates the Boston Market restaurant
pursuant to a franchise agreement with Boston Chicken, Inc. The Tenant's
obligations under the Lease (as that term is defined below) are guaranteed for
the benefit of the Partnership by Platinum Rotisserie Corp. and Platinum
Service Corp. (collectively the "Guarantors"). Platinum Service Corp., an
affiliate of the Tenant, provides management services to Platinum Rotisserie
Corp. The Tenant has guaranteed the payment of a $10 million note payable to
American National Bank & Trust Company of Chicago by Platinum Rotisserie Corp.
The Tenant and the Partnership have entered into the Partnership's
standard form of lease (the "Lease"), which is an absolute net lease, whereby
the Tenant is responsible for all expenses related to the North Carolina
Property including real estate taxes, insurance, maintenance and repair costs.
The Lease term expires on September 30, 2009, followed by two (2) renewal
options of five (5) years each. The initial annual rent is equal to eleven
percent (11.0%) of the purchase price and will be payable in monthly
installments on the first day of each month. Thus, based on the purchase price
of $1,000,000, the rent in the first year of the Lease is $110,000 per year, or
$9,167 per month. The annual rent will be increased by two and one-half
percent (2.5%) on each anniversary date of the Lease. The current annual rent
at December 31, 1996 is $112,752, or $9,396 per month.
2
<PAGE> 5
The Tenant has an option to purchase the North Carolina Property
commencing on the first day following the fifth (5th) anniversary date of the
Lease and expiring thirty (30) days thereafter or on the first day following
the seventh (7th) anniversary date of the Lease and expiring thirty (30) days
thereafter. The option price the Tenant shall pay for the North Carolina
Property shall be calculated using a ten and three-quarters percent (10.75%)
capitalization rate applied to the annualized rental revenue for the North
Carolina Property during the sixth year of the Lease (if the option is
exercised in the sixty-first month) or during the eighth year of the Lease (if
the option is exercised in the eighty-fifth month).
The current annual rent per square foot for the North Carolina Property is
$37.50. The depreciable basis of the North Carolina Property for federal tax
purposes is $555,000 and is being depreciated using the straight line method
over 39 years; a rate of $14,231 per year. The 1994-1995 tax rate for the
county in which the North Carolina Property is located is $1.40 per $100 of
appraisal value. The annual realty taxes at the time of the purchase was
$3,030.
Applebee's Neighborhood Grill & Bar, Mt. Vernon, Illinois (Land and
Building): On September 13, 1995, the Partnership executed an agreement
pursuant to which it acquired, effective as of August 1, 1995, the land and
5,580 square foot building comprising an Applebee's Neighborhood Grill & Bar
located at 105 Potomac Boulevard, Mt. Vernon, Illinois (the "Illinois
Property"). The Partnership acquired the Illinois Property from an affiliated
party which purchased the Illinois Property on July 24, 1995 from, and leased
back to, Apple Partners Limited Partnership, an Ohio limited partnership (the
"Tenant"). The affiliated party received no fees or mark-up in connection with
this transaction. The Tenant operates the Applebee's Neighborhood Grill & Bar
pursuant to a franchise agreement with Applebee's International, Inc. The
Tenant had owned the Illinois Property since August 1994 when it was
constructed for its present use. The Illinois Property was fully operational
at the time of the purchase by the affiliated entity.
The Partnership purchased a fee simple interest in the Illinois Property
for a purchase price of $1,640,000, which is equal to the acquisition price
paid by the affiliated party and was negotiated by an affiliate of the Managing
General Partner. The Purchase price is supported by an independent MAI
appraisal.
The lease entered into by the Tenant and the affiliated party was assigned
to the Partnership by the affiliated party on September 13, 1995. According to
the terms of the lease assignment, the Partnership will receive lease payments
retroactive to August 1, 1995. The Tenant entered into the Partnership's
standard form of lease (the "Lease"), which is an absolute net lease, whereby
the Tenant is responsible for all expenses related to the Illinois Property
including real estate taxes, insurance, maintenance and repair costs. The
Lease term expires on August 23, 2014, with two (2) renewal options of five
years each. The initial annual rent is equal to eleven percent (11%) of the
purchase price and will be payable in monthly installments on the first day of
each month. Thus, based on the purchase price of $1,640,000, the rent in the
first year of the Lease is $180,400 per year (the "Minimum Annual Rent"), or
$15,033 per month. The Minimum Annual Rent will be increased by a minimum of
three percent (3%) on August 1, 1996 and every August 1 thereafter. However,
in the event that Tenant's gross annual sales for the preceding calendar year
shall exceed Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000), then the Minimum Annual Rent
for the Lease year shall instead increase by the greater of: (a) six percent
(6%) of such excess; or (b) three percent (3%) of the Minimum Annual Rent for
the preceding Lease year. The Minimum Annual rent was increased pursuant to
the terms of the Lease on August 1, 1996 to $185,812 or $15,484 per month.

<PAGE> 6
The Tenant has an option to purchase the Illinois Property commencing on
the first day of the sixtieth (60) month of the Lease and expiring ninety (90)
days thereafter. The option purchase price the Tenant must pay for the
Illinois Property will be the greater of $1,640,000 (the price at which the
Illinois Property was purchased by the Partnership) or the MAI appraised value
at the time the option is exercised.
The Tenant's obligations under the Lease are guaranteed for the benefit of
the Partnership by dirigiste I.M. Co., an Ohio corporation, the general partner
of the Tenant, and its principals: Richard Adler and Mary Adler, jointly and
severally; and Thomas K. DeNomme and Michelle DeNomme, jointly and severally.
The current annual rent per square foot for the Illinois Property is
$33.30. The depreciable basis of the Illinois Property for federal tax purposes
is $1,282,460 and is being depreciated using the straight line method over 39
years; a rate of $32,884 per year. The 1995 tax rate for the county in which
the Illinois Property is located is $1.0418 per $100 of assessed value and the
township tax rate is $7.3165 per $100 of assessed value. The Illinois Property
is located in an "Enterprise Zone" with real estate taxes due on the land only
for the next three years. The annual property taxes at the time of the
purchase were $3,067.
Church's Chicken Restaurant, San Antonio, Texas (Land and Building): On
October 23, 1995 the Partnership acquired the land and 1,850 square foot
building comprising a Church's Chicken Restaurant located at 1003 S.E. Military
Drive, San Antonio, Texas (the "Texas Property"). The Texas Property was
constructed for its present use in August of 1995 and was fully operational at
the time of the purchase. The Texas Property was purchased from, and leased
back to America's Favorite Chicken Company, a Minnesota corporation (the
"Tenant"). The Tenant operates and franchises quick-service restaurants under
the primary trade names of Popeye's Famous Fried Chicken & Biscuits and
Church's Chicken. The Partnership purchased a fee simple interest in the Texas
Property for a purchase price of $630,000, which was negotiated by an affiliate
of the Managing General Partner. The Purchase Price was supported by an
independent MAI appraisal.
The Tenant and the Partnership have entered into the Partnership's
standard form of lease (the "Lease"), which is an absolute net lease, whereby
the Tenant is responsible for all expenses related to the Texas Property
including real estate taxes, insurance, maintenance and repair costs. The
Lease term expires on October 31, 2015 with four (4) renewal options of five
(5) years each. The initial annual rent is equal to eleven percent (11%) of
the purchase price and will be payable in monthly installments on the first day
of each month. Thus, based on the purchase price of $630,000, the rent in the
first year of the Lease is $69,300 per year, or $5,775 per month. The Minimum
Annual Rent will be increased on November 1, 1999 and every five (5) years
thereafter. The Minimum Annual Rent will be increased by ten percent (10%) on
each adjustment date.
The Tenant has an option to purchase the Texas Property commencing on the
first day of the eighty-fifth (85th) month of the Lease and expiring ninety
(90) days thereafter. The option price the Tenant shall pay for the Texas
Property shall be the greater of: (a) $756,000 or (b) one hundred twenty
percent (120%) of the then current fair market value of the Texas Property.
The Tenant has a right of first refusal to purchase the Texas Property if at
any time during the Lease Term, the Partnership receives a bona fide offer
("Offer") to purchase the Texas Property which the Partnership desires to
accept. Tenant shall have a one-time right to purchase the Texas Property at
the same price and on the same terms as the Offer. In the event Tenant accepts
the Offer, Tenant shall close on the purchase of the Texas Property within
forty-five (45) days after the date of Tenant's written notice of its election
to exercise its right of first refusal.

comprising a Red Robin Grill & Spirits restaurant located at 1701 William D.
Tate Avenue, Grapevine, Texas (the "Grapevine Property"). The Grapevine
Property was constructed for its present use in August of 1995 and was fully

2011 with five renewal options of five years each. The initial annual rent is
equal to ten and one-half percent (10.5%) of the purchase price and will be
payable in monthly installments on the first day of each month. Thus, based on
the purchase price of $1,143,000 the rent in the first year of the Lease is
$120,015 per year, or $10,001 per month. The Annual Rent shall be increased
beginning on the sixth lease year to $132,017; beginning on the eleventh lease
year to $142,275 and at the end of every five years thereafter by ten percent
of the Annual Rent payable during the lease year immediately preceding.
Beginning in the sixth year, and in addition to the Annual Rent provided above,
the Tenant shall pay Percentage Rent on an annual basis equal to the difference
between five percent of "gross sales" (as defined in the lease) for such lease
year minus the Annual Rent payable for such lease year.
The Tenant has an option to purchase and first right of refusal to
purchase the New Jersey Property. The Tenant shall have the right to purchase
the New Jersey Property on the same terms and conditions as set forth in the
offer or the Tenant may elect an alternate purchase price as follows: (a)
during the first and second lease year the purchase price shall be an amount
equal to the total rent payable for the lease year subsequent to the lease year
in which the option is exercised divided by 9.462%; (b) during the third
lease year in an amount equal to the Annual Rent for lease year 3 divided by
9.978%; (c) during the fourth lease year in an amount equal to the Annual
Rent for lease year four divided by 9.785% and in lease year five in an amount
equal to the Annual Rent for lease year five divided by 9.580%.
Tenant shall have the option to purchase the New Jersey Property any time
after the fifth year for the following option price: (a) if the Tenant
exercises its option to purchase during the sixth through eighth lease year,
the option price shall be equal to the total rent payable for the lease year
subsequent to the lease year in which the option is exercised, divided by ten
percent.; (b) if the Tenant exercises its option to purchase after the eighth
lease year, the option purchase price shall be the greater of the fair market
value of the New Jersey Property or an amount equal to the total rent payable
for the lease year subsequent to the lease year in which the option is
exercised, divided by ten percent.
The current annual rent per square foot for the New Jersey Property is
$36.00. The depreciable basis of the New Jersey Property for federal tax
purposes is $763,000 and it is being depreciated using the straight line method
over 39 years, a rate of $19,564 per year. The 1996 tax rate of the township
in which the New Jersey Property is located is $2.63 per $100 of assessed
value. The realty taxes for the first six months of 1996 on the New Jersey
Property were $8,099 but the current assessed value is for the land only. It
is anticipated that there will be a new assessment to reflect the improvements
to the land (i.e., the restaurant facility).

The Lease contains a substitution option that in the event that the Tenant
determines that the New Jersey Property is inadequate or unprofitable or is
rendered unsuitable by condemnation or casualty, the Tenant may substitute
another property having a Boston Market restaurant located thereon, of equal or
greater current value. The substitute property shall be subject to the
approval of the Partnership.
Hollywood Video, Enid, Oklahoma (Land and Building): On August 4, 1996,
the Partnership acquired the land and a 7,500 square foot building comprising a
Hollywood Video located at 3400 West Owen K. Garriott Road, Enid, Oklahoma (the
"Hollywood Video Property"). The Hollywood Video Property was constructed for
its present use in June 1996 and was fully operational at the time of the
purchase. The Hollywood Video Property was purchased from Terry S. Ward &
Associates and the Partnership assumed a lease between Caltex Entertainment,
Ltd., a Texas Limited Partnership and Hollywood Entertainment Corp., an Oregon
corporation (the "Tenant"). The Tenant operates video rental stores under the
trade name of Hollywood Video. The headquarters of the Tenant are located at
10300 S. W. Allen Blvd., Beaverton, Oregon 97005. The Partnership purchased a
fee simple interest in the Hollywood Video Property for the purchase price of
$1,050,000 which was negotiated by an affiliate of the Managing General
Partner. The purchase price for the Hollywood Video Property is supported by
an independent MAI appraisal.
The Lease dated January 15, 1996 between Caltex Entertainment, Ltd. and
Hollywood Entertainment Corporation, which the Partnership assumed on July 31,
1996 (the "Lease"), is an absolute net lease, whereby the Tenant is responsible
for all expenses related to the Hollywood Video Property including real estate
taxes, insurance, maintenance and repair costs. The Lease term expires on May
10, 2011 with two renewal options of five years each. The initial annual rent
is equal to eleven and one quarter percent (11.25%) of the purchase price and
will be payable in monthly installments on the first day of each month. Thus,
based on the purchase price of $1,050,000, the rent in the first five years of
the Lease is $118,125 per year, or $9,844 per month. The rent shall be
increased on May 10, 2001 and on the first day of each renewal term by the
percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index over the five year period
preceding the increase date, but no more than twelve percent (12%). In the
event the Consumer Price Index has decreased, the rent shall remain unchanged.
The current annual rent per square foot of the Hollywood Video Property is
$15.75. The depreciable basis of the Hollywood Video Property is $842,700 and
it is being depreciated using the straight-line method over 39 years at a rate
of $21,608 per year. The estimated 1997 tax rate for the county in which the
Hollywood Video Property is located is $8.005 per $100 of current assessed
value. The estimated current annual realty taxes are $1,977, however, the
current assessment on the Hollywood Video Property for realty tax purposes is
for the land only. It is anticipated that there will be a new assessment to
reflect the improvements to the land.

restaurant facility).

affiliated party, effective as of November 15, 1995, of the Partnership's
standard form of lease ("Lease") dated November 15, 1995. Under the terms of
the Lease, the Lessee is responsible for all expenses related to the Denny's

Applebee's Neighborhood Grill & Bar Equipment, Orem, Utah. On September
11, 1996, the Partnership acquired restaurant equipment to be used in the
operation of an Applebee's Neighborhood Grill & Bar located at 290 West 1300
South, Orem, Utah (the "Applebee's Equipment"). The Applebee's Equipment was
purchased on September 11, 1996 from various vendors at a total cost of
$384,200.80 and leased to J.M.C. Limited Partnership, a Utah limited
partnership, DBA Applebee's Neighborhood Grill and Bar (the "Lessee"). The
headquarter offices of the Lessee are located at 19 E. 200 South, Suite 1000,

Grill & Bar under a franchise agreement.
The Lessee and Partnership entered into the Partnership's standard form of
lease whereby the Lessee is responsible for all expenses related to the
Applebee's Equipment including taxes, insurance, maintenance and repair costs
(the "Lease"). The General Partners believe that the amount of insurance
carried by the Lessee is adequate. The Lease term is 84 months and the minimum

guaranteed by the following: John B. Prince, an individual; and William Tell,
Inc., a Utah corporation, jointly and severally.
Equipment Leases - General Provisions: All of the aforementioned
equipment leases are the Partnership's standard form of lease whereby the
Lessee is responsible for all expenses related to the Equipment including
taxes, insurance, maintenance and repair costs. Prior to entering into the
Leases, an affiliate of the Managing General Partner considered factors such as
the financial condition and business and operating history of the Lessees and
demographic data for the area in which the Equipment is located. All of the
Equipment was purchased with cash from offering proceeds. It is anticipated
that The Equipment will be leveraged as provided for in the prospectus,
however, the Partnership presently does not have a financing commitment. The
General Partners believe that the amount of insurance carried by the Lessees is
adequate.

Summary of Investment Objectives and Policies:
The Partnership will acquire income-producing Property and Equipment which
will be leased primarily to operators of nationally franchised fast-food,
family style and dinner house restaurants as well as other franchised
service-type businesses such as automotive and specialty retail franchises.
The Partnership will use not less than 75% but not more than 90% of Net
Offering Proceeds to acquire Properties (primarily for lease to restaurant
franchisees) and up to 25% but not less than 10% to acquire Equipment (for
lease to restaurant and service-type franchisees). The Properties generally
will be leased on terms which provide for a base minimum annual rent with fixed
increases on specific dates or indexation of rent to indices such as the
Consumer Price Index and/or percentage rents. The Equipment will be leased
only pursuant to Full Payout Leases.
Properties will be selected for acquisition based on an examination and
evaluation by the General Partners or an Affiliate of the potential value of
the site, the financial condition and business history of the proposed lessee,
the demographics of the area in which the Property is located or to be located,
the proposed purchase price and lease terms, geographic and market
diversification, and potential operating results. Similar analyses will be
utilized in selecting Equipment. In certain cases, the Partnership may become
a co-venturer or general partner in a joint venture or general partnership
which will own a Property or Equipment. The Partnership may also acquire
Property through the acquisition of substantially all of the interests of an
entity which in turn owns a Property. The Partnership may participate in
sale-leaseback transactions, but expects to do so only with respect to
Properties and then only when the Property has an established track record.
The Partnership anticipates that only fee interests in real property will be
acquired, although other interests (including acquisitions of buildings, with
the underlying land being subject to a long-term ground lease) may be acquired
if it is deemed to be advantageous to the Partnership. In each such case, the
Partnership's cost to purchase an interest in such Property and/or Equipment
would decrease and the total number of Properties and/or Equipment which the
Partnership would be able to acquire will increase.
In making investments, the General Partners will consider relevant
factors, including the condition and proposed use of the Property and/or
Equipment, income-producing capacity, the financial condition of the lessee,
and with respect to Properties, the prospects for long-term appreciation. In
no event will Property or Equipment be acquired unless a satisfactory lease
commitment has been obtained from a suitable lessee as further described below.
In selecting specific Properties, the General Partners generally will
require the following:
(i) Base annual rent will provide a specified minimum return on the
contract purchase price of the Property; the majority of the leases
will provide for fixed increases on specific dates or indexation of
rents to indices such as the Consumer Price Index. Leases may also
provide for percentage rents calculated to provide rents equal to a
percentage of the lessee's gross sales if greater than the base rent;
and
(ii) The initial lease will have a term of between ten and twenty years.
In selecting specific Equipment, the General Partners typically will
require the following:
(i) Full Payout Leases providing for fixed rents structured to
return 100% of the cost of the Equipment plus yield a return
equivalent to market interest rates over the lease term; and
18
<PAGE> 21
(ii) The leases are expected to have terms of five to seven years
with residual values of Equipment at the end of such terms expected
to be minimal (approximately 10% of original cost).
The terms and conditions of any lease entered into by the Partnership with
regard to a tenant may vary substantially from those described herein.
However, all of the leases will be "triple net" leases, which means that the
lessees will be required to pay all real estate and other taxes and
assessments, utilities, insurance and cost of maintenance and repairs.
In no event will the Partnership reinvest Net Sale or Refinancing Proceeds
received commencing four years after the date on which the Partnership
terminates its Offering. It is expected that leases of certain Properties may
give the Lessee the right to purchase the Property five to ten years after the
date of the lease at the Property's fair market value as determined by an
independent appraisal at the time of sale. Additionally, certain leases may
grant the lessee an option to purchase a percentage interest in the Property at
a price based on the fair market value as determined by an independent
appraisal at the time the option is exercised. The determination of whether
particular Properties or Equipment should be sold or otherwise disposed of will
be made after consideration of relevant factors, including performance or
projected performance of the Property or Equipment and market conditions, with
a view toward achieving the principal investment objectives of the Partnership.
The Partnership's general policy will be to sell Properties and/or
Equipment on an all cash basis. However, under certain circumstances a
purchase money obligation secured by a lien on the Property or Equipment may be
taken as part payment and there are no limitations or restrictions on the
Partnership taking such purchase money obligations. The terms of payment to
the Partnership will be affected by custom in the area in which the Property or
Equipment is located and the then prevailing economic conditions. To the
extent the Partnership receives notes and other property in lieu of cash, such
proceeds (other than any interest payable thereon) will be excluded from Net
Sale or Refinancing Proceeds until and to the extent the notes or other
property are actually paid, sold, refinanced or otherwise disposed of and,
therefore, the distribution of the proceeds of a sale to the Limited Partners
may be delayed until such time. In some cases, the Partnership may receive
payments (cash and other property) in the year of sale in an amount less than
the selling price, with subsequent payments being spread over a number of
years. It is possible that such purchase money obligations would be structured
to provide for a "balloon" payment of the entire balance of principal at
maturity.
The Partnership intends to acquire Properties and Equipment using
leverage, on a portfolio basis, of up to 30% of the sum of gross proceeds of
the Offering and the aggregate amount of Partnership indebtedness secured by
Partnership Assets (approximately 35% of the aggregate purchase prices of all
Properties and Equipment). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Partnership may
incur indebtedness on single Properties or Equipment packages equal to up to
80% of the purchase price thereof so long as aggregate portfolio indebtedness
does not exceed the above-referenced amount. Borrowings for acquisition or
improvement will cause tax-exempt investors to recognize unrelated business
taxable income, although they will be allowed to offset such income with
deductions related thereto.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
The Partnership is not a party to any material legal proceeding nor, to
the best of its knowledge, are any such proceedings either pending or
threatened.
19
<PAGE> 22
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.
No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders during the fourth
quarter of the Partnership's most recent fiscal year covered by this report .

<PAGE> 23
PART II
ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S LIMITED PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS AND RELATED
SECURITY HOLDER MATTERS.
The Units are not readily transferable. There is no public market for the
Units and it is not currently expected that any will develop. There are
restrictions upon the transferability of Units, including the requirement that
the General Partners consent to any transferee becoming a substituted Limited
Partner (which consent may be granted or withheld at the sole discretion of the
General Partners). In addition, restrictions on transfer may be imposed under
state securities laws.
The Revenue Act of 1987 contains provisions which may have an adverse
impact on investors in certain "publicly traded partnerships." If the
Partnership were to be classified as a "publicly traded partnership," income
attributable to the Units would be characterized as portfolio income and the
gross income attributable to Units acquired by tax-exempt entities would be
unrelated business income, with the result that the Units could be less
marketable. The General Partners will, if necessary, take appropriate steps to
ensure that the Partnership will not be deemed a "publicly traded partnership."
At December 31, 1996, the Partnership had 20,000 Units issued and
outstanding representing funds totaling $20,000,000 from 1,392 limited
partners.
ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATION
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Partnership commenced the Offering of up to 20,000 Units registered
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, by means of a Registration
Statement filed on Form SB-2 which was declared effective by the Securities and
Exchange Commission on August 12, 1994.
The Partnership accepted subscriptions for the Minimum Number of Units on
January 24, 1995, and immediately commenced operations. The Offering reached
final funding on August 12, 1996. As of December 31, 1996 the Partnership had
accepted subscriptions for the entire 20,000 Units and funds totaling
$20,000,000. After payment of all offering expenses, including selling
commissions, totaling $2,600,000, net proceeds available for investment from
the sale of Units totaled $17,400,000.
As of December 31, 1996, this capital has been used to invest in eleven
net leased real estate properties and ten equipment packages in amounts
totaling $16,411,985. The Partnership has committed additional funds of
$250,000 for the reimaging of the Kettle Restaurant and $700,917 for the final
construction draw on the Golden Corral Restaurant. Additionally, as provided
for in the Prospectus, the Partnership paid $662,789 (4% of the purchase price)
in acquisition fees to an Affiliate of the Managing General Partner. These
fees are paid for services rendered in connection with the selection,
evaluation and acquisition of the Assets and negotiating and closing the leases
associated therewith. In addition, an affiliate of the Managing General
Partner will receive an additional fee of $164,120 (1% of the purchase price)
after leveraging the Assets, as provided for in the Prospectus. The
Partnership ended 1996 with $325,226 of uninvested capital, excluding cash held
for distribution to partners.
21
<PAGE> 24
As of December 31, 1996, the Partnership's investments were allocated
80.3% to Properties and 19.7% to Equipment. This allocation is expected to be
similar to the final asset mix allocation, which will be at least 75% and not
more than 90% Properties and up to 25% but not less than 10% Equipment.
During 1997, the Partnership expects to obtain leverage of up to 30% of
the sum of gross proceeds and the aggregate amount of Partnership indebtedness
secured by Partnership assets (approximately 35% of the aggregate purchase
prices of Partnership assets). Such leverage, when incurred, will provide
additional funds to be used by the Partnership to purchase additional
Properties and Equipment. Presently, the Partnership does not have a financing
commitment for this leverage.
During 1997, the Partnership intends to utilize its uninvested capital
from the remaining proceeds of the offering received during 1996 and leverage
to continue to acquire existing, income-producing commercial Properties and
Equipment which will be leased on a "triple net" basis primarily to operators
of nationally franchised fast-food, family style and dinner house restaurants
as well as other franchised service-type businesses. The Property leases are
expected to provide for a base minimum annual rent, with provisions for fixed
increases on specific dates of indexation of rent to indices such as the
Consumer Price Index and/or percentage rents. Equipment will be leased only
pursuant to Full Payout Leases.
The Partnership has invested some of its funds in liquid assets until such
time as the funds can be invested in Property and Equipment. Once
substantially all of the Partnership's funds have been invested as intended,
the Partnership expects to require limited amounts of liquid assets since the
form of lease which it uses for its Properties and Equipment requires lessees
to pay all taxes and assessments, maintenance and repairs and insurance
premiums, including casualty insurance. The General Partners expect that the
cash flow to be generated by the Partnership's Properties and Equipment will
provide adequate liquidity and capital resources to pay operating expenses and
provide distributions to Limited Partners.
The General Partners are not aware of any known trends or uncertainties,
other than national economic conditions, which reasonably may be expected to
have a material impact, favorable or unfavorable, on liquidity and capital
resources of the Partnership other than those referred to herein and in the
Partnership's Prospectus.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Partnership commenced operations in January of 1995, therefore, the
comparative information provided below for the prior year should be read with
the understanding that 1995 does not reflect a full twelve month period.
Furthermore, the Partnership was in the process of raising funds through the
Offering and at December 31, 1996 did not have all capital invested. It is
anticipated that the Partnership will be borrowing an additional $8,135,000 in
capital to invest.
For the year ended December 31, 1996, the Partnership earned revenues
totaling approximately $1,491,000 compared to $370,000 for the previous year.
Revenues for the year ended December 31, 1996 were comprised of approximately
$983,000 of rental income from operating leases, $341,000 of financing income
from financing leases and $167,000 of other income which includes approximately
$132,000 interest earned on the Partnership's bank accounts and approximately
$31,000 interest and fees earned on the construction loan. For the preceding
year, the Partnership's revenues were comprised of approximately $243,000 of
rental income from operating leases, $115,000 of financing income from
financing leases and $12,000 of other income . The
22
<PAGE> 25
increase in revenues over the prior year (303%) was due to the effects of the
purchase of additional assets subject to triple-net leases and the income
generated therefrom.
For the year ended December 31, 1996, the Partnership incurred expenses
totaling approximately $169,000, compared to $57,000 for the previous year.
Expenses for the year ended December 31, 1996 were comprised of approximately
$114,000 of depreciation on buildings leased under operating leases and $55,000
of general and administrative expenses. For the preceding year, the
Partnership's expenses were comprised of approximately $34,000 of depreciation
on buildings leased under operating leases and $23,000 of general and
administrative expenses. The increase in expenses over the prior year (196%)
was due to the effects of the purchase of additional Properties subject to
triple-net leases, and the resulting additional depreciation expense therefrom,
and the corresponding increase in general and administrative expense related to
the growth of the investment in such assets.
For the year ended December 31, 1996, the Partnership earned net income of
approximately $1,322,000, compared to $313,000, for the previous year. The
increase in net income over the prior year (323%) was due to the combined
effects on revenues and expenses as stated above.
The Partnership is not subject to income taxation as all of its income and
expenses flow through to the Partners. The Partnership's net assets and
liabilities as reported in its financial statements exceeds tax basis by
$591,000, as of December 31, 1996.
During the year ended December 31, 1996, the Partnership made
distributions to limited partners totaling $1,371,318, as compared with
$219,503 for the preceding year. Approximately $154,574 is interest from the
Partnership's bank accounts and construction loans and the remaining $1,216,744
is cash flow from operations for the year.
TENANT DEFAULTS
The Partnership has invested in a financing lease, with a net investment
value of $319,364 as of December 31, 1996. The lessee under this lease, Kenny
Rogers Roasters of Arizona, Inc., has defaulted on the lease agreement due to
non-payment of rents. As of December 31, 1996, the Partnership is owed $46,840
of rents past due from February 1, 1996 and forward. Presently, this default
has caused the suspension of cash flows from rents to the Partnership in an
amount equal to $4,258 per month, which amount represents 2.3% of the
Partnership's aggregate current monthly rental income (excluding additional
rent which may be received from any future acquisitions).
On October 1, 1996, the Partnership signed a letter of intent with
Roasters Corp., a Florida corporation and franchisor of Kenny Rogers Roasters
Restaurants. Roasters Corp. is currently operating the Kenny Rogers restaurant
located at 1940 Camelback Road, Phoenix, Arizona pursuant to the letter of
intent. The letter of intent provides that the new tenant will enter into
mutually agreeable equipment lease in substantially the same form as the
existing lease. While the Partnership is in the process of drafting the
documents, as of December 31, 1996, a new lease agreement has not been signed.

General Partner and of which Mr. Patrick Beach is a director, officer and
majority shareholder, may provide property and equipment management services
for the Partnership. In such case, the General Partners believe that the
Captec Group would render management services to the Partnership on a
competitive basis in a manner consistent with customary business practices.
The General Partners further believe that the Captec Group has sufficient
personnel and other required resources to discharge all responsibilities to the
various properties that the Captec Group manages and will manage in the future.
The Captec Group also receives commitment fees paid by the Tenant's and
Lessees. The commitment fees are paid by third parties and are limited to 1%
of the Purchase Price of the assets. Commitment fees have been to an affiliate
of the Managing General Partner by the Lessees of the Partnership in an amount
equal to $167,974, of which $129,170 was paid during 1996.
The Asset Management Agreement entered into between the Partnership and
the Captec Group will be on terms no less favorable to the Partnership than
those customary for similar services by independent firms in the relevant
geographic area. The Asset Management Agreement will provide for termination
by a majority vote of the Limited Partners, without penalty, upon 60 days prior
written notice. No asset management fees were paid by the Partnership in 1996.

In connection with the Offering and throughout all stages of the
Partnership's operations, the General Partners and their affiliates will
receive compensation as described more fully in the "Compensation Table" on
pages 12 through 16 of the Partnership's Prospectus. All of the General
Partners' fees with the exception of Acquisition Fees will be subordinated to
receipt by the Limited Partners of preferential distributions. Acquisition
Fees will be payable whether or not funds are available for distribution to the
Limited Partners. The General Partners may, under certain circumstances,
benefit from the continued holding of Partnership Properties and/or Equipment,
while investors may be better served by a sale or other disposition of such
Properties and/or Equipment. Furthermore, the receipt of certain fees and
reimbursements is dependent upon the ability of the General Partners to timely
invest net offering proceeds. Therefore, the interest of the General Partners
in receiving such fees may conflict with the interest of the Limited Partners.
The General Partners and their affiliates believe that their actions and
decisions will be made in a manner consistent with their fiduciary duty to the
Partnership.
The agreements and arrangements, including those relating to compensation,
between the Partnership and the General Partners or any of their affiliates
will not be the result of arm's-length negotiations although the General
Partners believe that such agreements and arrangements will approximate those
which would be arrived at through arm's-length negotiations. While the
Partnership will make no loans to the General Partners or their affiliates, the
Partnership may borrow money from the General Partners or their affiliates but
only on such terms as to interest rate, security, fees and other charges at
least as favorable to the Partnership as are charged by unaffiliated lending
institutions in the same locality on comparable loans for the same purpose.
The General Partners and their affiliates are not prohibited from providing
services to, and otherwise dealing or doing business with, persons (for
example, franchisees), who may deal with the Partnership, although there are no
present arrangements with respect thereto. However, the Partnership Agreement
prohibits receipt of rebates or "give-ups" or participation in any reciprocal
business arrangements which would have the effect of circumventing any of the
provisions of the Partnership Agreement.
The General Partners may cause the Partnership to acquire an interest in
property and/or equipment through a joint venture or general partnership with
an entity affiliated with the General Partners. In such instance, the General
Partners or their affiliates will have a fiduciary duty to both the Partnership
and the other entity which participates in the joint venture. This may result
in an impasse in decision-making since generally no one of the affiliated joint
venturers would have full control over the joint venture. In addition, there
is a potential risk that while one joint venturer may have the right to
purchase the other joint venturer's interest in the event of a proposed sale,
it may not have the resources to do so. In order to minimize the likelihood of
a conflict between those fiduciary duties, the Partnership Agreement provides
guidelines for investments in such joint ventures in various respects.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Directors of
Captec Franchise Capital Corporation III
Managing General Partner of
Captec Franchise Capital Partners L.P. III:
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Captec Franchise Capital
Partners L.P. III as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related statements
of operations, changes in partners' capital, and cash flows for the years then
ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
from material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting financial statement amounts and disclosures. An audit also
includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Captec Franchise Capital
Partners L.P. III as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results of its
operations, changes in partners' capital and its cash flows for the years then
ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

CAPTEC FRANCHISE CAPITAL PARTNERS L.P. III
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. THE PARTNERSHIP AND ITS SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES:
Captec Franchise Capital Partners L.P. III (the "Partnership"), a Delaware
limited partnership, was formed on February 18, 1994 for the purpose of
acquiring income-producing commercial real properties and equipment leased
on a "triple net" basis, primarily to operators of national and regional
franchised businesses. The general partners of the Partnership are Captec
Franchise Capital Corporation III (the "Corporation"), a wholly owned
subsidiary of Captec Financial Group, Inc. ("Captec") and Patrick L. Beach,
an individual, hereinafter collectively referred to as the Sponsor.
Patrick L. Beach is also the Chairman of the Board of Directors, President
and Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation and Captec. The general
partners have each contributed $100 in cash to the Partnership as a capital
contribution.
The Partnership commenced a public offering of limited partnership
interests ("Units") on August 12, 1994. A minimum of 1,150 Units and a
maximum of 20,000 Units, priced at $1,000 per Unit, were offered on a "best
efforts, part or none" basis. The Partnership broke impound on January 24,
1995, at which time funds totaling $1,155,255 were released from escrow and
the Partnership immediately commenced operations. At December 31, 1996,
the Partnership had accepted subscriptions for 20,000 Units, and funds
totaling $20,000,000.
Allocation of profits, losses and cash distributions from operations and
cash distributions from sale or refinancing are made pursuant to the terms
of the Partnership Agreement. Profits and losses from operations are
allocated among the limited partners based upon the number of Units owned.
In no event will the Sponsor be allocated less than one percent of profits
and losses in any year.
Following is a summary of the Partnership's significant accounting
policies:
A. RENTAL INCOME FROM OPERATING LEASES: The Partnership's
operating leases have scheduled rent increases which occur at various
dates throughout the lease terms. The Partnership recognizes the
total rent, as stipulated by the lease agreement, as income on a
straight-line basis over the term of each lease. To the extent rental
income on the straight-line basis exceeds rents billable per the lease
agreement, an amount is recorded as unbilled rent.
B. LAND AND BUILDING SUBJECT TO OPERATING LEASES: Land and
buildings subject to operating leases are stated at cost less
accumulated depreciation. Buildings are depreciated on the
straight-line method over their estimated useful lives (40 years).

CAPTEC FRANCHISE CAPITAL PARTNERS L.P. III
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. THE PARTNERSHIP AND ITS SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES, CONTINUED:
C. NET INVESTMENT IN FINANCING LEASES: Leases classified as
financing leases are stated as the sum of the minimum lease payments
plus the unguaranteed residual value accruing to the benefit of the
lessor, less unearned income. Unearned income is amortized to income
over the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of
return on the net investment in the lease.
D. NET INCOME PER LIMITED PARTNERSHIP INTEREST: Net income per
limited partnership interest is calculated using the weighted average
number of limited partnership units outstanding during the period and
the limited partners' allocable share of the net income.
E. INCOME TAXES: No provision for income taxes is included in the
accompanying financial statements, as the Partnership's results of
operations are passed through to the partners for inclusion in their
respective income tax returns.
F. ESTIMATES: 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 and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
2. DISTRIBUTIONS:
Cash flows of the Partnership are allocated ninety-nine percent (99%) to
the limited partners and one percent (1%) to the Sponsor, except that the
Sponsor's share is subordinated to a ten percent (10%) preferred return to
the limited partners. Net sale or refinancing proceeds of the Partnership
will be allocated ninety percent (90%) to the limited partners and ten
percent (10%) to the Sponsor, except that the Sponsor's share will be
subordinated to an eleven percent (11%) preferred return plus return of the
original contributions to the limited partners.
The first cash distribution to the limited partners took place on April 17,
1995 and included interest income on cash contributions earned during
impound, as well as cash flow from operations for the partial three month
period ended March 31, 1995. Thereafter, additional distributions of cash
flow from operations were made quarterly in arrears.

3. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS AND AGREEMENTS:
Organization and offering expenses, excluding selling commissions, were
initially paid by the General Partners and/or their Affiliates and were
reimbursed by the Partnership in an amount equal to up to three percent
(3%) of the gross proceeds of the offering (less any amounts paid directly
by the Partnership). In addition, the Sponsors and/or their affiliates
were paid a non-accountable expense allowance by the Partnership in an
amount equal to two percent (2%) of the gross proceeds of the offering.
The Sponsor was reimbursed for $632,248 and $355,199 during 1996 and 1995,
respectively. These costs were accounted for as capital issuance costs and
have been netted against the limited partners' capital accounts.
The Partnership also paid to Participating Dealers, including affiliates of
the general partners, selling commissions in an amount equal to eight
percent (8%) of the purchase price of all units placed by them directly.
Total commissions incurred during 1996 and 1995, were $1,007,966 and
$590,505, respectively. These costs were accounted for as capital issuance
costs and have been netted against the limited partners' capital accounts.
The Sponsor has also guaranteed payment of organization and offering
expenses which exceed 13%, including selling commissions, of the gross
proceeds of the offering.
An acquisition fee is charged, not to exceed the lesser of: (i) four
percent (4%) of gross proceeds plus an additional .00624% for each 1% of
indebtedness incurred in acquiring properties and/or equipment but in no
event will acquisition fees exceed five percent (5%) of the aggregate
purchase prices of properties and equipment; or (ii) compensation
customarily charged in arm's length transactions by others rendering
similar services. The Partnership paid the sponsor $455,017 and $207,771
in acquisition fees during 1996 and 1995, respectively. Of these amounts,
$533,592 was capitalized into net investment in financing leases and
$129,196 was capitalized into land and building subject to operating
leases.
The Partnership has entered into an asset management agreement with the
Sponsor and its affiliates, whereby the Sponsor provides various property
and equipment management services for the Partnership.
A subordinated asset management fee is charged, in an amount equal to one
percent (1%) of the gross rental revenues derived from the properties and
equipment. Payment of the asset management fee is subordinated to receipt
by the limited partners of annual distributions equal to a cumulative
noncompounded return of ten percent (10%) per annum on their adjusted
invested capital. There were no asset management fees paid or accrued to
the Sponsor during 1996 or 1995.
An equipment liquidation fee limited to the lesser of three percent (3%) of
the sales price or customary fees for similar services will be paid in
conjunction with equipment liquidation services. There were no equipment
liquidations during 1996 or 1995.
F(a) - 8
<PAGE> 43
CAPTEC FRANCHISE CAPITAL PARTNERS L.P. III
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
3. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS AND AGREEMENTS, CONTINUED:
The Partnership Agreement provides for the Sponsor to receive a real estate
liquidation fee limited to the lesser of three percent (3%) of the gross
sales price or fifty percent (50%) of the customary real estate commissions
in the event of a real estate liquidation. This fee is payable only after
the limited partners have received distributions equal to a cumulative,
noncompounded return of eleven percent (11%) per annum on their adjusted
invested capital plus distributions of sale or refinancing proceeds equal
to 100% of their original contributions. There were no real estate
liquidations in 1996 or 1995.
The Partnership has agreed to indemnify the Sponsor and their affiliates
against certain costs paid in settlement of claims which might be sustained
by them in connection with the Partnership. Such indemnification is
limited to the assets of the Partnership and not the limited partners.
4. LAND AND BUILDING SUBJECT TO OPERATING LEASES:
The net investment in operating leases as of December 31, 1996 and 1995 is
comprised of the following:

advanced under construction draws. At December 31, 1996, the Company had
approximately $701,000 of unfunded commitments on properties under
construction.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Captec Franchise Capital

operations, changes in stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the years then
ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Corporation's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
from material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting financial statement amounts and disclosures. An audit also
includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Captec Franchise Capital
Corporation III as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results of its
operations, changes in stockholders' equity and its cash flows for the years
then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

CAPTEC FRANCHISE CAPITAL CORPORATION III
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. ORGANIZATION AND ITS SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES:
Captec Franchise Capital Corporation III (the "Corporation") is a Michigan
corporation organized on February 15, 1994. The Corporation was formed for
the purpose of serving as the managing general partner of Captec Franchise
Capital Partners L.P. III (the "Partnership"), a Delaware limited
partnership.
The Corporation is a wholly owned subsidiary of Captec Financial Group,
Inc. ("Captec"). Captec has paid $1,000 in cash to the Corporation for the
purchase of all 100 shares of common stock of the Corporation. As a
general partner of the Partnership, the Corporation has contributed $100 to
the capital of the Partnership. Patrick L. Beach is also a general partner
of the Partnership and is the Chairman of the Board of Directors, President
and Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation and Captec. Each general
partner has a 0.5 percent share in the Partnership's net income or loss.
The Partnership undertook a public offering of limited partnership
interests ("Units") in 1994. A minimum of 1,150 Units and a maximum of
20,000 Units, priced at $1,000 per Unit, are being offered on a "best
efforts, part or none" basis. The Partnership broke impound on January 24,
1995. At December 31, 1996, the Partnership had accepted subscriptions for
20,000 Units and received offering proceeds totaling $20,000,000.
Affiliates of the Corporation are expected to provide various services to
the Partnership and will be paid certain fees for such services as
specified in the Partnership Agreement.
Following is a summary of the Corporation's significant accounting
principles:
A. INCOME TAXES: The Corporation reports its income for federal
income tax purposes in the consolidated tax return of Captec. Income
taxes are allocated by Captec to the Corporation on the separate
return basis. The Corporation's income tax expense reflected in the
statement of operations and that computed by applying the statutory
federal income tax rate are approximately equal. Deferred income
taxes, for financial reporting purposes, are not material.
B. ESTIMATES: 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 and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

2. OPERATIONS:
The Corporation's only source of revenue in 1996 and 1995 was from its
investment in the Partnership. See the accompanying financial statements
of the Partnership.
3. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:
Organization and offering expenses related to the offering of Units are
prepaid by the Corporation and reimbursed by the Partnership in an amount
equal to up to three percent (3%) of the gross proceeds of the offering
(less any amounts paid directly by the Partnership). The Corporation is
also reimbursed by the Partnership for a non-accountable expense allowance
in an amount equal to two percent (2%) of the gross proceeds of the
offering. During 1996, and 1995 the Corporation received reimbursements
from the Partnership totaling $632,248 and $355,199.
The Corporation receives advances from Captec in order to have sufficient
funds for the prepayment of organization and offering and non-accountable
expenses made on behalf of the Partnership. As the Corporation receives
reimbursements of such prepaid expenses, the advances to Captec are
repaid.
