FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain portions of this report, and particularly the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Sections 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Sections 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, 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, including, without limitation, the following: the ability of the Company to generate adequate amounts of cash; the collectability of the excess of straight-line over contractual rent when due over the terms of the long-term leases; the commencement of additional long-term land leases; changes in economic conditions that may affect either the current or future development on the Company’s parcels; cyber-penetrations; the long-term impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the economy, parking operations, and the Company’s financial performance, and exposure to remediation and other costs associated with its former ownership of a petroleum storage facility. The Company does not undertake the obligation to update forward-looking statements in response to new information, future events or otherwise.

Item 1. Business

Organizational History

The Company was organized as a business corporation under the laws of Rhode Island in 1983 as Providence and Worcester Company and is the successor by merger in 1983 to a corporation also named Providence and Worcester Company which was organized under the laws of Delaware in 1979. In 1984, the Company’s name was changed to Capital Properties, Inc.

Business:

The Company’s principal business is the leasing of Company-owned land in Capital Center (“Capital Center”) and property adjacent to Capital Center (Parcel 20) in downtown Providence, Rhode Island under long-term ground leases with terms of 99 years or more.* (Hereinafter, the land in Capital Center and Parcel 20 are referred to as parcels within the “Capital Center Area”). The Company owns approximately 18 acres in Capital Center consisting of 13 individual parcels. Capital Center (approximately 77 acres of land) is the result of a development project undertaken by the State of Rhode Island, the City of Providence, the National Railroad Passenger Corporation (“Amtrak”) and the Company during the 1980’s in which two rivers, the Moshassuck and the Woonasquatucket, were moved, Amtrak’s Northeast Corridor rail line was relocated, a new Amtrak/commuter railroad station was constructed and significant public improvements were made to improve pedestrian and vehicular traffic in the area. The Company has not acted, and does not intend to act, as a developer with respect to any Company-owned parcels.

Under the Company’s standard Ground Leases, the tenant is responsible for all property related operating expenses, such as real estate taxes, maintenance and insurance as well as all costs associated with the development and construction of the related improvements. Each Ground Lease contains provisions permitting the tenant to develop the parcel under certain terms and conditions and provides for periodic rent increases based on either a specific percentage, consumer price index (“CPI”), appraisal or combination thereof and sometimes includes percentage rent participation (contingent rent). The Ground Leases also provide that the tenants are responsible for insuring the Company against various hazards and events as well as indemnifying the Company with respect to all of the tenant’s activities on the land. The Ground Leases contain other terms and conditions customary to such instruments.

While seeking developers, the Company also leases Parcels 3E, 3W, 4E, 4W and a portion of Parcel 20 in the Capital Center Area for public parking purposes to Metropark, Ltd.

*Generally speaking, a ground lease is a lease by the owner of the land (in this case, the Company) to the owners/operators of the real estate improvements built thereon by such owners/operators (“Ground Leases”).

Parcel 20

Parcel 20 consists of a parcel of land adjacent to the Capital Center, part of which is undeveloped and part of which contains a three/four-story 20,000 square foot building (the “Steeple Street Building”).

InOn ~~May~~January ~~2018~~25, 2024, the Company ~~and a tenant~~ entered into ana ~~Amended~~long-term ~~and~~ground ~~Restated~~lease ~~Ground~~of ~~Lease for~~ Parcel 20. OnUnder ~~December~~the 1,terms ~~2018,~~of the lease, tenant's ~~took~~ possession ofwill ~~Parcel~~not 20occur ~~and~~until such time as the ~~Company~~tenant ~~conveyed~~has ~~title~~received toall ~~the~~necessary ~~Steeple~~approvals ~~Street~~for ~~Building~~construction toof ~~the~~not ~~tenant~~less than 100,000 square feet of mixed use improvements. ~~Effective~~Prior ~~October~~to 31transfer of possession, ~~2021~~no ~~the~~rent ~~lease~~is ~~with~~being paid by the tenant ~~was~~and ~~terminated~~the ~~due~~Company receives all rents from existing tenants and parking lease revenue and remains responsible for all expenses, including real estate taxes, related to ~~the~~Parcel 20. Following tenant's ~~failure~~possession, tenant is obligated to pay ground rent for the ~~first~~parcel and ~~second~~to purchase ~~quarter~~the ~~real~~building ~~estate~~presently ~~taxes~~located ~~along~~on ~~with~~the ~~any~~premises ~~related~~for ~~penalties~~an ~~and~~additional ~~interest.~~amount payable monthly over twenty years.

~~The~~*Generally ~~Parcel~~speaking, 20a ~~Steeple~~ground ~~Street Building (“Building”)~~ lease ~~was~~is ~~originally accounted for as~~ a ~~sales-type~~ lease ~~due~~by to the ~~transfer~~owner of the ~~Building to the tenant. The~~ land ~~directly under the Building was allocated~~ (in ~~the~~this ~~determination of the value of the property transferred in accordance with ASC 360-20~~case, ~~Property, Plant and Equipment – Real Estate Sales. Since~~ the ~~initial~~Company) ~~investment by the tenant was insufficient~~ to ~~recognize~~ the ~~transaction~~owners/operators ~~as a sale, in accordance with ASC 360-20, the Company reported the acquisition period rent and an allocable portion~~ of the ~~ground~~real ~~rent~~estate ~~collected~~improvements asbuilt ~~deferred~~thereon ~~revenue~~by onsuch ~~its~~owners/operators ~~consolidated~~(“Ground ~~balance sheets~~Leases”). Upon termination of the lease, the $293,000 of deferred revenue through October 31, 2021 was recognized as leasing revenue in the consolidated statements of income and retained earnings. With the termination of the Parcel 20 lease, the Company became obligated for the real property taxes.

~~*************** **************** ***************~~3

All of the properties described above are shown on the map contained in Exhibit 20.

Billboard Lease

The Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Tri-State Displays, Inc. leases 23 outdoor advertising locations containing 44 billboard faces along interstate and primary highways in Rhode Island and Massachusetts to Lamar Outdoor Advertising, LLC (“Lamar”) under a lease which expires in ~~2049~~2053 (the “Lamar Lease”). All but one of these locations are controlled by the Company through permanent easements granted to the Company pursuant to an agreement between the Company and the Providence & Worcester Railroad Company (“Railroad”); the remaining location is leased by the Company from a third party with a remaining term of two years.

Lamar has a right of first refusal for additional billboard location sites acquired by the Company in New England and Metropolitan New York City.

The Lamar lease provides, among other things, for annual base rent increases of 2.75% in June for each leased billboard location and participation in the revenue generated by each billboard, as defined in the agreement. The Lamar lease contains other terms and conditions customary to such instruments.

A summary of the long-term leases is as follows:

Competition

The Company competes for tenants with other owners of undeveloped real property in downtown Providence. The Company maintains no listing of other competitive properties and will not engage in a competitive bid arrangement with proposed developers. The Company’s refusal to sell the land that it owns may restrict the number of interested developers.

Employees

As of December 31, ~~2022~~2023, the Company has two full-time and one part-time employee.

Environmental

Prior to February 2017, the Company operated a petroleum storage facility (“Terminal”) through two of its wholly owned subsidiaries. On February 10, 2017, the Terminal was sold to Sprague Operating Resources, LLC (“Sprague”) which results in the Terminal’s operations being classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented. As part of the Terminal Sale Agreement, the Company agreed to complete the environmental remediation and pay for the costs related to a 1994 storage tank fuel oil leak which allowed the escape of a small amount of fuel oil. In February 2020, the Company filed a revised Remediation Action Work Plan (“RAWP”) with Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management (“RIDEM”) to incorporate technical details associated with the preferred remedial activities and to update the 2018 RAWP. During 2022, the remediation system was modified to address operational issues which impeded remediation activities. For the year ended December 31, ~~2022~~2023, the Company incurred costs of $~~112~~79,000 ~~and~~of ~~increased~~which $4,000 was charged against the environmental remediation ~~liability~~accrual ~~by $160,000~~ resulting in a liability of $~~406~~402,000 at December 31, ~~2022~~2023 with the balance charged to other liabilities. Any subsequent increases or decreases to the expected cost of remediation will be recorded in the Company’s consolidated income statements as gain or loss on sale of discontinued operations.

Insurance

The Company maintains what management believes to be adequate levels of insurance.

Item 1C. Cybersecurity

Risk Management

The Company’s corporate information technology, communication networks, and accounting and financial reporting platforms are necessary for the operation of its business. The Company uses these systems, along with others, to manage its tenant and vendor relationships, for internal and external communications and for accounting to operate recordkeeping and reporting functions. The Company has implemented and maintains various information security processes designed to identify, assess and manage material risks from cybersecurity threats to its critical computer networks, third-party hosted services, communications systems, hardware and software, and our critical data, including confidential information.

Management works primarily with third parties (principally professional services and consulting firms) that assist management in identifying, assessing, and managing cybersecurity risks. To operate its business, the Company utilizes certain third-party service providers to perform a variety of functions and seeks to engage reliable, reputable service providers that maintain cybersecurity programs. The Company is not aware of any risks from cybersecurity threats, including as a result of any cybersecurity incidents, which have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect it, including its business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition.

Governance:

The Board of Directors oversees the Company’s strategy and risk management, including material risks related to cybersecurity threats. The Board has delegated to the Audit Committee oversight of cybersecurity matters.

Management is responsible for day-to-day assessment and management of cybersecurity risks. The Treasurer has primary oversight of material risks from cybersecurity threats and works primarily with third parties to identify, assess, and manage cybersecurity risks. The Treasurer meets with the Audit Committee periodically to review the Company’s information technology systems and discuss key cybersecurity risks.

Item 2. Properties

The Company owns approximately 18 acres and a historic building in the Capital Center Area of Providence, Rhode Island. With the exception of Parcel 6C and the Steeple Street Building, all of the Company’s real property is leased either under long-term leases or short-term leases as more particularly described in Item 1, Business. ~~Effective October 31, 2021, the Parcel 20 lease was terminated by the Company.~~ The Company also owns or controls 23 locations in Rhode Island and Massachusetts on which 44 billboard faces have been constructed. All but one of these locations are owned by the Company under permanent easements from the Railroad; the remaining location is leased from an unrelated third party with a remaining term of two years.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

In connection with the sale of the Company’s petroleum storage terminal in 2017, the Company and ~~the buyer,~~ Sprague, entered into an agreement relating to the construction of a breasting dolphin pursuant to which any construction costs incurred in excess of the contract cost of the construction would be shared equally between the Company and Sprague subject to certain limitations. In November 2019, Sprague asserted that it was owed $427,000 and the Company asserted that its obligation under the Agreement could not exceed $104,000. Mediation efforts were unsuccessful and in July 2021, Sprague commenced an action against the Company in the Rhode Island Superior Court (Superior Court) seeking monetary damages of $427,000, interest and attorney’s fees. In December 2022, the Superior Court denied Sprague’s Motion for Summary Judgment filed in September 2022 and granted in part and denied in part the Company’s Cross Motion for Summary Judgment also filed in September 2022. The Company anticipates that the matter will go to trial ~~late~~within inthe ~~2023~~next orsix ~~early in 2024~~months. The Company intends to vigorously defend against the claims being asserted by Sprague.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations excludes the results of our discontinued operations unless otherwise noted. See Note 89, “Discontinued operations and environmental incident” in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of these operations.

Overview:

Critical accounting policies:

The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) has issued guidance for the disclosure of “critical accounting policies.” The SEC defines such policies as those that require application of management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods.

The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements. Not all of these significant accounting policies require management to make difficult, subjective or complex judgments or estimates. Management believes that the Company’s revenue recognition policy for long-term leases with scheduled rent increases meets the SEC definition of “critical.”

The Company’s long-term leases (land and billboard) have original terms of 30 to 149 years. The Company follows GAAP in accounting for its leases by recognizing rental income on the straight-line basis over the term of the leases. Where the straight-line income exceeds the actual contractual payments (“Excess”), the Company evaluates the collectability of the entire stream of remaining lease payments on a lease-by-lease basis. If the remaining lease payments are not deemed to be probable of collection, in accordance with GAAP, lease revenue is recorded at the lower of straight-line rental income or the contractual amount paid.

The number of years remaining on the Company’s leases range from twenty-~~seven~~six (2726) years to one hundred-thirty~~-one~~ (~~131~~130) years with total rents yet to be collected from tenants (without regard to CPI and appraisal adjustments) under the lease ranging from $19.52 million to $363.40 million. Given the length of the remaining lease term and the magnitude of the amount yet to be collected, along with the consideration of other factors, the Company has concluded that the remaining stream of lease payments is not probable of collection and as such, reports lease revenue based on the contractual amount paid.

Liquidity and capital resources:

Historically, the Company generates adequate liquidity to fund its operations.

Cash and cash commitments:

The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $1652,~~476,~~000 and $1,~~443~~476,000 at December 31, ~~2022~~2023 and ~~2021~~2022, respectively, inclusive of a money market account totaling $1461,~~273,~~000 and $1,~~355~~273,000 in each of the aforementioned years. Additional sources of funds to fund operations include investments that mature in April 2024 totaling $1,244,000 along with a $2,000,000 unused line of credit (see Note 6 in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements). The Company and its subsidiary each maintain checking accounts and one money market account in a financial institution which is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation to a maximum of $250,000. The Company periodically evaluates the financial stability of the financial institutions at which the Company’s funds are held.

Under the terms of each applicable long-term land lease, the contractual adjustments for the last two years were:

Parcel Number	Monthly Increase	Effective Date of Increase	Type ofAdjustment
Parcel 9	$1,575	April 1, 2021	Base ground rent increase
Parcel 7A	$2,539	April 1, 2022	Base ground rent increase
Parcel 2	$8,847	May 1, 2023	COLA Adjustment

The City of Providence (“City”) conducted a City-wide property revaluation for 2022. This revaluation increased the assessed value of the Company’s parcels that are available for lease by 26.5%, resulting in an annual property tax increase of $139,000 that was to be borne entirely by the Company. The Company's appeal of the assessed values for certain of its parcels was successful and resulted in a reduction of the assessed value to an amount less than the 2021 assessed value and in an annual property tax reduction in 2022 taxes as originally assessed of $165,000, which amount was recorded in the fourth quarter of 2022.

Through February 1716, ~~2023~~2024 all tenants have paid their monthly rent in accordance with their lease agreements ~~except for Metropark, the tenant that operates public parking on the Company’s undeveloped parcels other than Parcel 6C~~. The Company continues to report revenue from Metropark on a cash basis as the move by many companies to a hybrid workplace model has reduced demand for parking spaces. Metropark has not fully paid the rent per the original lease agreement executed in 2017 since April 2020. On July 31, 2020, Metropark and the Company entered into an agreement for

At December 31, 2023, the $150,000 settlement is included in Prepaid and other and in Leasing revenue in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and statements of income and retained earnings.

The Terminal Sale Agreement and related documentation provides that the Company is required to secure an approved remediation plan and to remediate contamination caused by a leak in 1994 from a storage tank at the Terminal. At December 31, ~~2022~~2023, the Company’s accrual for the remaining cost of remediation was $~~406~~402,000 of which $132,000 is expected to be expended in ~~2023~~2024. The Terminal Sale Agreement also contained a cost sharing provision for a breasting dolphin whereby any construction costs in excess of the contract cost of construction would be borne equally by Sprague and the Company subject to certain limitations, including, in the Company’s opinion, a 20% cap on the increase from the initial estimate subject to the sharing arrangement. In November 2019, Sprague asserted that it was owed $427,000 and the Company asserted that its obligation under the Agreement could not exceed $104,000. Mediation efforts were unsuccessful and in July 2021, Sprague commenced an action against the Company in the Rhode Island Superior Court (Superior Court) seeking monetary damages of $427,000, plus interest and attorney’s fees. In December 2022, the Superior Court denied Sprague’s Motion for Summary Judgment filed in September 2022 and granted in part and denied in part the Company’s Cross Motion for Summary Judgment also filed in September 2022. The Company anticipates that the matter will go to trial ~~late~~within inthe ~~2023~~next orsix ~~early in 2024~~months. The Company intends to vigorously defend against the claims being asserted by Sprague. See Note 89, “Discontinued operations and environmental incident” in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements.

In ~~2022~~2023, the Company declared and paid dividends of $1,848,000 or $0.28 per share.

The declaration of future dividends will depend on future earnings and financial performance.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of

Capital Properties, Inc.

Providence, Rhode Island

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Capital Properties, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, ~~2022~~2023 and ~~2021~~2022, and the related consolidated statements of income and retained earnings, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, ~~2022~~2023, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, ~~2022~~2023 and ~~2021~~2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, ~~2022~~2023, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matter

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of a critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Revenue Recognition – Refer to Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Critical Audit Matter Description

The Company derives revenue from long-term leases with original terms ranging from 30 years to 149 years. Effective January 1, 2019 the Company adopted ASC 842, Leases, and elected the “package of practical expedients” which permits the Company not to reassess under the new standard prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification, and initial indirect costs and determined that all pre-existing leases were properly accounted for as operating. The long-term leases contain periodic rent increases based on either a specific percentage, market appraisals, changes in the consumer price index or combination thereof. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, lease income should be recognized on a straight-line basis. Where ~~straight-line income exceeds the actual contractual payments (the “Excess”), the Excess should only be recognized to the extent it~~

straight-line income exceeds the actual contractual payments (the “Excess”), the Excess should only be recognized to the extent it is collectable. In accordance with ASC 842, if collectability of the lease payments is not probable, lease income shall be limited to the lesser of the income that would be recognized in accordance with ASC 842 (straight-line basis) or the actual lease payment, including variable payments that have been collected from the lessee. The Company evaluates the entire stream of remaining lease payments on a lease-by-lease basis. Analysis of collectability from the lessee (tenant) is subjective and complex and is dependent on many factors including historical experience and the creditworthiness of the tenant. The creditworthiness of the tenant can, and often is, significantly influenced by major factors including the creditworthiness of multiple sub-tenants. The inability to access reliable credit information on all parties impacting the probability of collection creates a collectability constraint. Management updates its collectability analysis of long-term leases annually and has determined that collection of the entire remaining stream of remaining lease payments is not probable. Accordingly lease revenue, including variable payments, is recorded when received from the lessee.

How the Critical Audit Matter was Addressed in the Audit

Our audit procedures related to the recognition of long-term lease revenue on a straight-line basis included the following, among others:

•

We evaluated the effectiveness of controls over lease revenue recognition, including ~~managements~~management's analysis of and conclusions regarding collection probability.

•

We evaluated the application of the Company’s accounting policies in the context of the applicable accounting standards (ASC842) as adopted on January 1, 2019.

•

We evaluated the appropriateness and consistency of methods and assumptions used by management to determine and support its collection probability conclusion.

•

We considered changes in the lease terms, including tenant payment patterns or other information, and determined such information was properly considered by management in its analysis.

CAPITAL PROPERTIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, ~~2022~~2023 AND ~~2021~~2022

Description of business:

The operations of Capital Properties, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Tri-State Displays, Inc. (collectively “the Company”) consist of the long-term leasing of certain of its real estate interests in the Capital Center area in downtown Providence, Rhode Island (upon the commencement of which the tenants have been required to construct buildings thereon, with the exception of the parking garage and Parcel 20) and the leasing of locations along interstate and primary highways in Rhode Island and Massachusetts to Lamar Outdoor Advertising, LLC (“Lamar”) on which Lamar has constructed outdoor advertising boards ~~thereon~~. The Company anticipates that the future development of its remaining properties in the Capital Center area will consist primarily of long-term ground leases. Pending this development, the Company leases these undeveloped parcels (other than Parcel 6C) for public parking to Metropark, Ltd.

Summary of significant accounting policies:

Principles of consolidation:

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts and transactions of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of estimates:

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) 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 income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Fair value of financial instruments:

The Company believes that the fair values of its financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents and payables, approximate their respective book values because of their short-term nature. The fair values described herein were determined using significant other observable inputs (Level 2) as defined by GAAP.

Properties and equipment:

Properties and equipment are stated at cost. Acquisitions and additions are capitalized while routine maintenance and repairs, which do not improve the asset or extend its life, are charged to expense when incurred. Depreciation is being provided by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets.

The Company reviews properties and equipment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the net book value of the asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss will be recognized if the sum of the expected future cash flows (undiscounted and before interest) from the use of the asset is less than the net book value of the asset. Generally, the amount of the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the net book value and the estimated fair value of the asset.

Cash and cash equivalents:

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents include money market accounts totaling $1461,~~273,~~000 and $1,~~355~~273,000, at December 31, ~~2022~~2023 and ~~2021~~2022, respectively. The Company and its subsidiary each maintain a checking account and one money market account in a bank, all of which are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation to a maximum of $250,000. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.

Environmental incidents:

The Company accrues a liability when an environmental incident has occurred and the costs are estimable. The Company does not record a receivable for recoveries from third parties for environmental matters until it has determined that the amount of the collection is reasonably assured. The accrued liability is relieved when the Company pays the liability or a third party assumes the liability. Upon determination that collection is reasonably assured or a third party assumes the liability, the Company records the amount as a reduction of expense.

Revenues:

The Company’s properties leased to others are under operating leases. The Company reports leasing revenue when earned under the operating method.

1617

Certain of the Company’s long-term leases (land and billboard) provide for presently known scheduled rent increases over the remaining terms (2726 to ~~131~~130 years). The Company follows GAAP in accounting for leases whereby revenue is recognized on the straight-line basis over the terms of the leases when management is able to conclude that all remaining lease payments are collectable. To date, management has recognized revenue on a contractual basis as it has been unable to conclude that the remaining lease payments are realizable (collectable) due to the magnitude of the remaining lease payments to be collected, the length of the lease terms and other related uncertainties.

The Company reports contingent revenue in the period in which the factors occur on which the contingent payments are predicated.

Income taxes:

The Company and its subsidiary file consolidated income tax returns.

The Company provides for income taxes based on income reported for financial reporting purposes.

Based on its evaluation, the Company has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the consolidated financial statements. The Company will report any tax-related interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense. The Company’s federal and state income tax returns are generally open for examination for the past three years.

Legal fees:

The Company recognizes legal fees as incurred.

Basic earnings per common share:

Basic earnings per common share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.

Note Payable - Revolving Credit Line:

In March 2021, the Company entered into a financing agreement (“Agreement”) with BankRI that provides for a revolving line-of-credit (the “Line”) with a maximum borrowing capacity of $2,000,000 through March 2024. Amounts outstanding under the Agreement bear interest at the rate of the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus the one-month ~~LIBOR~~SOFR ~~plus~~Spread ~~200~~Adjustment ~~basis~~of ~~points~~.11448%, but not less than 3.25% or, at the option of the Company, the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate. Borrowings under the Line are secured by a First Mortgage on Parcel 5 in the Capital Center District in Providence, Rhode Island (the “Property”). The Line requires the maintenance of a debt service coverage ratio of not less than 1.25 to 1.0 on the Property and 1.20 to 1.0 for the Company. The Agreement contains other restrictive covenants, including, among others, a $250,000 limitation on the purchase of its outstanding capital stock in any twelve-month period. No advances have been made under the Line.

Description of leasing arrangements and subsequent event:

Long-term land leases:

Parking lease:

The Company leases the undeveloped parcels of land in or adjacent to the Capital Center area (other than Parcel 6C) for public parking purposes to Metropark under a ten-year lease dated January 1, 2017. The lease is cancellable as to all or any portion of the leased premises at any time on thirty day’s written notice in order for the Company or any new tenant of the Company to develop all or any portion of the leased premises. The parking lease provides for contingent rent based on a fixed percentage of gross revenue in excess of the base rent as defined in the agreement.

The COVID-19 pandemic ~~continues~~had ~~to have~~ an adverse impact on Metropark’s parking operations as the move by many companies to a hybrid workplace model (one that mixes in-office and remote work) ~~has~~ resulted in lower demand for parking spaces. ~~The~~ From June 2020 through December 31, 2023 the Company and Metropark ~~continue~~operated tounder ~~operate~~a ~~under~~Revenue ~~the~~Sharing Agreement, dated June 30, 2020, ~~revenue sharing agreement~~ that ~~provides~~provided for revenue sharing at various percentages until parking revenues received by Metropark equal or exceed $70,000 per month whereupon Metropark would be obligated to resume regularly scheduled rental payments under its lease. ~~Upon~~ ~~resumption~~During ofthis ~~regularly scheduled rent payments~~time, ~~Metropark and the Company will share fifty (50) percent of the~~ revenue inwas ~~excess~~recognized ofon ~~$70,000~~a ~~until~~cash ~~the~~basis ~~arrearage~~with ~~has been paid in full.

Accordingly, the Company has not included any part of that amount in revenue. As a matter of information only, as of December 31, 2023 the excess of straight-line rentals (calculated by excluding variable payments) over contractual payments was $92,728,000.

Discontinued operations and environmental incident:

As part of the Terminal Sale Agreement, the Company agreed to retain and pay for the environmental remediation costs associated with a 1994 storage tank fuel oil leak which allowed the escape of a small amount of fuel oil. The Company continues the remediation activities set forth in the Remediation Action Work Plan (“RAWP”) filed with the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management (“RIDEM”). ~~During 2022, the remediation system was modified to address operational issues which impeded remediation activities.~~ For the year ended December 31, ~~2022~~2023, the Company incurred costs of $~~112~~79,000 ~~and~~of ~~increased~~which $4,000 was charged against the environmental remediation ~~liability~~accrual ~~by $160,000~~ resulting in a liability of $~~406~~402,000 at December 31, ~~2022~~2023 with the balance charged to other liabilities. In For ~~2021~~the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company incurred costs of $~~132~~112,000 ~~which~~and ~~reduced~~increased the environmental remediation liability toby $~~358~~160,000 resulting in a liability of $406,000 at December 31, ~~2021~~2022. Any subsequent increases or decreases to the expected cost of remediation will be recorded in Company’s consolidated statements of income and retained earnings as gain or loss from discontinued operations.

The Terminal Sale Agreement also contained a cost sharing provision for the breasting dolphin whereby any construction costs incurred more than the contract cost of construction would be borne equally by Sprague and the Company subject to certain limitations, including, in the Company’s opinion, a 20% cap on the increase from the initial estimate, subject to a sharing arrangement. In November 2019, Sprague asserted that it was owed $427,000 and the Company asserted that its obligation under the Agreement cannot exceed $104,000. Mediation efforts were unsuccessful and in July 2021, Sprague commenced an action against the Company in the Rhode Island Superior Court (Superior Court) seeking monetary damages of $427,000, interest and attorney’s fees. In December 2022, the Superior Court denied Sprague’s Motion for Summary Judgment filed in September 2022 and granted in part and denied in part the Company’s Cross Motion for Summary Judgment also filed in September 2022. The Company anticipates that the matter will go to trial ~~late~~within inthe ~~2023~~next orsix ~~early in 2024~~months. The Company intends to vigorously defend against the claims being asserted by Sprague.

For the year ended December 31, 2023 loss from discontinued operations includes legal costs associated with the Sprague litigation of $30,000, net of an income tax benefit of $6,000. In 2022, loss from discontinued operations includes remediation costs of $160,000 and legal costs associated with the Sprague litigation of $189,000, net of an income tax benefit of $94,000.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

There were no changes in, or disagreements with, accountants on accounting or financial disclosure as defined by Item 304 of Regulation S-K.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision of the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, the Company has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon this evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that, as of such date, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective in making them aware on a timely basis of the material information relating to the Company required to be included in the Company’s periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act). The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of its financial reporting and the preparation of published financial statements in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles.

However, because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with policies may deteriorate.

Management conducted its evaluation of the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in “2013 Internal Control-Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) as of December 31, ~~2022~~2023.

Based on this assessment, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer believe that as of December 31, ~~2022~~2023, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective based on criteria set forth by COSO in “2013 Internal Control-Integrated Framework.”

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the quarter ended December 31, ~~2022~~2023, there has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
