ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Company Profile
BNP Residential Properties, Inc. is a self-administered and
self-managed real estate investment trust with operations in North Carolina,
South Carolina and Virginia. Our primary activity is the ownership and operation
of apartment communities. We currently manage 31 multi-family communities
containing 6,969 units. Of these, we own 15 apartment communities containing
3,681 units. Third parties own the remaining 16 communities, containing 3,288
units, and we manage them on a contract basis. In addition to our apartment
communities, we own 42 restaurant properties that we lease to a third party
under a master lease on a triple-net basis.
BNP Residential Properties, Inc. is structured as an UpREIT, or
"umbrella partnership real estate investment trust." We are the sole general
partner and own a controlling interest in BNP Residential Properties Limited
Partnership, through which we conduct all of our operations. We refer to this
partnership as the Operating Partnership. We refer to the limited partners of
the Operating Partnership as "minority unitholders" or "minority interest." We
currently own approximately 77% of the outstanding Operating Partnership units.
As of March 15, 2002, we have 5,761,131 shares of common stock and
1,705,897 Operating Partnership minority units outstanding. We have
approximately 1,500 shareholders of record. We estimate that there are
approximately 6,000 beneficial owners of our common stock. Our shares are listed
on the American Stock Exchange, trading under the symbol "BNP." We also have
227,273 shares of preferred stock outstanding, held by one investor.
We have 185 employees, including management, accounting, legal,
acquisitions, development, property management, leasing, maintenance and
administrative personnel. Our executive offices are located at 301 South College
Street, Suite 3850, Charlotte, North Carolina 28202-6032, and our telephone
number is 704/944-0100.
History and Development of BNP Residential Properties, Inc.
The company was originally incorporated in the state of Delaware in
1987. Beginning in 1987, we elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal
Revenue Code. As such, we generally are not, and will not be, subject to federal
or state income taxes on net income. As a REIT, we are subject to a number of
organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that we
currently distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income as dividends.
In 1987, we purchased 47 existing restaurant properties located in
North Carolina and Virginia for an aggregate purchase price of $43.2 million.
From 1987 through 1992, our assets primarily consisted of these 47 restaurant
properties. During this period we operated as an externally administered and
externally managed REIT. We leased the restaurants to Boddie-Noell Enterprises,
Inc. ("Enterprises"), a Hardee's franchisee, under a master lease on a
triple-net basis. A master lease is a single lease that covers multiple
properties, while a triple-net lease is one where the lessee pays all operating
expenses, maintenance, property insurance and real estate taxes.
In 1993, we began to change our focus from restaurant properties to
apartment communities, with the objective of increasing funds from operations
and enhancing shareholder value. During 1993 through 1996, we acquired five
apartment communities. Four of these apartment communities are located in North
Carolina, and one is located in Virginia. In 1994 we acquired BT Venture
Corporation, an integrated real estate management, development and acquisition
company, and began operating as a self-administered and self-managed REIT.
3
In 1997, we reincorporated in the state of Maryland and reorganized to
our present UpREIT structure. Through our UpREIT structure, we can acquire
properties in exchange for Operating Partnership units and trigger no immediate
tax obligation for certain sellers. We believe that our conversion to an UpREIT
enables us to acquire properties not otherwise available or at lower prices
because of the tax advantages to certain property sellers of receiving limited
partnership interests instead of cash as consideration. Minority unitholders
will generally be able to redeem their units for cash or, at our option as
general partner, for shares of common stock of the company on a one-for-one
basis. Distributions of cash from the Operating Partnership are allocated
between the REIT and the minority unitholders based on their respective unit
ownership.
In December 1997, we completed a common stock offering and issued 2.7
million shares of common stock. We used proceeds of this offering to retire
long-term debt. This common stock offering almost doubled the number of the
company's common shares outstanding.
During 1997 and 1998, we acquired nine apartment communities, located
in North Carolina, by issuing Operating Partnership units. In January 1999, we
acquired an apartment community, located in North Carolina, in a direct purchase
by paying cash and assuming long-term debt. In late December 2000, we acquired
one additional apartment community, located in North Carolina, in a direct
purchase. We combined this community with our Oak Hollow Apartments, and operate
the combined properties as one community
Restaurant sales and restaurant rental income have been declining since
1992, reflecting the increased competition and widespread price discounting in
the fast food industry. In August 1997, CKE Restaurants, Inc. purchased Hardee's
Food Systems, Inc., the restaurant franchisor. CKE operates, franchises, or owns
interests in approximately 3,800 restaurants, including Hardee's and Carl's Jr.
restaurants. While the rate of decline in restaurant sales has slowed in recent
years, we have not seen improvement in restaurant sales to date. During 1999
through 2001, we sold five restaurants to Enterprises, the lessee, under an
agreement that allows Enterprises to close up to seven restaurants and buy them
back for no less than net carrying value.
In April 2000, we changed the name of the company to BNP Residential
Properties, Inc. We believe the new name more clearly reflects our business
activities and eliminates the confusion that existed because of the similarity
of our former name to that of Boddie-Noell Enterprises.
Recent Developments
Overall, the results for 2001 were quite positive. However, it is
important to note that, during the year, lower interest rates and a substantial
increase in fee income masked lackluster apartment performance. The impact of
over-building, a general economic slowdown, and surprisingly strong sales of
modestly priced homes all combined to put persistent pressure on our apartment
markets. While we were able to achieve small increases in rental rates during
2001, our economic occupancy declined from near 96% to slightly over 94%.
During the fourth quarter of 2001, we expanded our third-party
management activities by entering into contracts to manage 12 multi-family
communities. On January 1, 2002, we added a contract to manage one additional
community.
In late December 2001, we issued 227,273 shares of Series B Cumulative
Preferred Stock for proceeds of $2.5 million.
Business Strategy
Our principal investment objectives are to provide our shareholders
with current income and to increase the value of the company's common stock. We
focus on increasing long term growth in funds from operations and funds
available for distribution per share, and on increasing the value of our
portfolio
4
through effective management, growth, financing, and investment strategies. We
expect to implement our strategies primarily through the acquisition, operation,
leasing and management of apartment communities.
We seek to acquire apartment properties in areas within the
southeastern United States exhibiting substantial economic growth and an
expanding job base in which we can establish a significant market presence in
the apartment community marketplace. Through our UpREIT structure, we have the
ability to acquire apartment communities by issuing Operating Partnership units
in tax-deferred exchanges with owners of such properties. We expect that we will
finance future acquisitions of apartment communities principally with Operating
Partnership units as well as loans and funds from additional offerings of common
stock, preferred stock, or joint venture arrangements.
We will selectively consider opportunities to develop new apartment
communities, to add additional units to existing communities, and to acquire and
rehabilitate older apartment communities. Members of our management team have
directed over $115 million of development or redevelopment projects, including
13 apartment communities containing over 2,500 apartment units. This development
and redevelopment experience will enable us to build additional apartment
communities and to rehabilitate existing communities when economic conditions
and available capital make such opportunities attractive.
Our residents are typically mid- to high-end "residents by
necessity"--individuals or families with moderate to high incomes that live in
apartments by necessity. They include retirees, young professionals,
manager-level white-collar workers, medical personnel, teachers, members of the
military and young families.
We strongly emphasize on-site property management. We seek
opportunities and have developed internal programs to increase average occupancy
rates, reduce resident turnover, raise rents and control costs. On-site
community managers report directly to regional managers who are locally based.
This flat organization provides for efficient staffing levels, reduces overhead
expenses, and enables us to respond to the needs of residents and on-site
employees. In an effort to reduce long-term operating costs, we regularly review
each apartment community and promptly attend to maintenance and recurring
capital needs. Our employees supervise all renovation and repair activities,
which are generally completed by outside contractors.
We continue to seek additional sources of revenue at our existing
apartment communities. These include water submetering and marketing of cable
television, high-speed Internet service, and telephone services.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
Apartment Communities
Through the Operating Partnership, we own and operate 15 apartment
communities consisting of 3,681 apartment units. For the fourth quarter of 2001,
our average economic occupancy rate was 93.1%, and average monthly revenue per
occupied unit was $741. The average age of the apartment communities is
approximately 10.5 years. Our apartment communities are generally wood framed,
two and three story buildings, with exterior entrances, individually metered gas
and electric service, submetered water service, and individual heating and
cooling systems.
Our apartment units are comprised of 35.4% one-bedroom units, 57.7%
two-bedroom units, and 6.9% three-bedroom units. The units average 986 square
feet in area and are well equipped with modern appliances and other
conveniences. Our communities generally include swimming pools, tennis courts
and clubrooms, and most have exercise facilities. The communities are held
subject to loans, discussed in the notes to the financial statements.
The table on page 7 summarizes information about each of our apartment
communities.

Restaurant Properties
We lease the 42 restaurant properties on a triple-net basis to
Enterprises under a master lease. The master lease, as amended in 1995, has a
primary term expiring in December 2007, but grants Enterprises three five-year
renewal options. Enterprises pays annual rent equal to the greater of the
specified minimum rent or 9.875% of food sales from the restaurants. Under
certain conditions, and subject to our approval, Enterprises has the right to
substitute another restaurant property for a property covered by the lease.
After December 31, 2007, Enterprises has the right to terminate the lease on up
to five restaurant properties per year by offering to purchase them under
specified terms. In addition, we entered into a separate agreement that allows
Enterprises to purchase, under specified terms, up to seven restaurant
properties deemed non-economic for no less than net carrying value.
Since 1999, we have sold five restaurants deemed non-economic to
Enterprises. After the sale of the fifth such property in April 2001, the
minimum rent on the remaining 42 restaurants is approximately $4.0 million per
year.
The average acquisition cost of the original 47 restaurant properties
was approximately $920,000 per property. At December 31, 2001, the net carrying
value of the 42 restaurant properties was $28.8 million (an average of $685,000
per property).
The restaurant properties are operated by Enterprises as Hardee's
restaurants pursuant to franchise agreements with Hardee's Food Systems, Inc.
These agreements require that the properties conform to a standard design
specified by Hardee's. The current design consists of a one-story brick, stucco
or wood building that embodies a contemporary style with substantial plate glass
window areas. The buildings average 3,400 square feet and are located on sites
averaging 1.2 acres. The buildings are suitable for conversion to a number of
uses, but the exteriors would have to be substantially modified prior to their
use in non-restaurant applications. Hardee's owns a design patent on certain
elements of the building and requires franchisees to make certain exterior
modifications if the location is discontinued as a Hardee's restaurant.
Enterprises is responsible for all aspects of the operation,
maintenance and upkeep of the restaurant properties. In addition, Enterprises is
responsible for the cost of any improvement, expansion, remodeling or
replacement required to keep the properties competitive or in conformity with
Hardee's building standards.
The locations of our restaurant properties are listed on page 8 of this
Annual Report.
Property Insurance
We carry insurance coverage on our properties of types and in amounts
that we believe are in line with coverage customarily obtained by owners of
similar properties. In addition, properties that we manage but do not own are
covered by insurance policies under which we are a named insured. Our restaurant
properties are subject to an indemnification agreement whereby Enterprises, the
lessee, is responsible for all claims, including those relating to environmental
matters, arising from a restaurant property. Enterprises is required to provide
insurance, which identifies the company as a named insured, on each restaurant
property.
We believe all of our properties are adequately insured. There are
types of losses, however, such as from wars, acts of terrorism or catastrophic
acts of nature, for which we cannot obtain insurance at all or at a reasonable
cost. In the event of an uninsured loss or a loss in excess of our insurance
limits, we could lose both the revenues generated from the affected property and
the capital we have invested in the affected property. It is possible, depending
on the specific circumstances of the affected property, that we could be liable
for any mortgage indebtedness or other obligations related to the property. Any
such loss could materially and adversely affect our business and financial
condition and results of operations.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are a party to a variety of legal proceedings arising in the
ordinary course of business. We do not expect any of these matters, individually
or in aggregate, to have a material adverse impact on the company.
In the event a claim was successful, we believe that we are adequately
covered by insurance and indemnification agreements. We have insurance coverage
on each of our apartment communities. Our restaurant properties are subject to
an indemnification agreement whereby Enterprises, the lessee, is responsible for
all claims arising from a restaurant property. In addition, Enterprises is
required to provide insurance, which identifies the company as a named insured,
on each restaurant property. Each apartment property that we manage but do not
own is covered by an insurance policy under which we are a named insured.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

We have paid regular quarterly dividends to holders of our common stock
since our inception, and we intend to continue to do so. We anticipate that we
will pay all dividends from current funds from operations. We expect
distributions to substantially exceed the 90% annual distribution requirement
for a REIT.
We have a dividend reinvestment plan that is available to all
shareholders of record. Under this plan, as amended in July 1996, the plan
administrator, First Union National Bank of North Carolina,
10
reinvests dividends on behalf of plan participants in our common stock. First
Union will either issue new shares or purchase shares on the open market, at our
direction. In addition, shareholders who participate in the plan may elect to
make direct cash investments or supplement their reinvestment program with
additional cash investments of any amount from $25 to $10,000 per quarter.
Participants do not pay any commissions on stock purchased under the plan.
Sales of Unregistered Securities
In December 2001, we issued 227,273 shares of our Series B Preferred
Stock to a single investor. These shares were issued pursuant to the exemption
from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 set forth in
Section 4(2) of the Act. The purchaser was an accredited investor, and offers
were not accompanied by any form of general solicitation.

(1) Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, Funds from
operations, and Funds available for distribution amounts reflect
measurements for the Operating Partnership (before deduction for minority
interest).
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization is
frequently referred to as "EBITDA." This measurement is derived directly
from amounts included in the Statement of Operations. We consider EBITDA
to be a useful measurement of operations performance before the impact of
financial structure and significant non-cash charges.
Funds from operations is frequently referred to as "FFO." FFO is defined
by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") as
"net income (computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, plus
depreciation
12
and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated
partnerships and joint ventures."
Funds available for distribution is frequently referred to as "FAD." We
calculate FAD as funds from operations plus non-cash expense for
amortization of loan costs, less recurring capital expenditures.
We consider funds from operations and funds available for distribution to
be useful in evaluating potential property acquisitions and measuring the
operating performance of an equity REIT. Together with net income and cash
flows, FFO and FAD provide investors with additional measures to evaluate
the ability of the REIT to incur and service debt, and to fund
acquisitions and other capital expenditures. FFO and FAD do not represent
net income or cash flows from operations as defined by generally accepted
accounting principles. You should not consider funds from operations or
funds available for distribution:
o to be alternatives to net income as reliable measures of the
company's operating performance; or
o to be alternatives to cash flows as measures of liquidity.
Funds from operations and funds available for distribution do not measure
whether cash flow is sufficient to fund all of our cash needs, including
principal amortization, capital improvements and distributions to
shareholders. FFO and FAD do not represent cash flows from operating,
investing or financing activities as defined by generally accepted
accounting principles. Further, FFO and FAD as disclosed by other REITs
might not be comparable to our calculation of FFO or FAD.
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
This Annual Report contains forward-looking statements within the
meaning of federal securities law. You can identify such statements by the use
of forward-looking terminology, such as "may," "will," "expect," "anticipate,"
"estimate," "continue" or other similar words. These statements discuss future
expectations, contain projections of results of operations or of financial
condition or state other "forward-looking" information.
Although we believe that our plans, intentions, and expectations
reflected in or suggested by these forward-looking statements are reasonable, we
cannot assure you that we will achieve our plans, intentions or expectations.
When you consider such forward-looking statements, you should keep in mind the
following important factors that could cause our actual results to differ
materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement:
o our markets could suffer unexpected increases in the development of
apartment, other rental, or competitive housing alternatives;
o our markets could suffer unexpected declines in economic growth or an
increase in unemployment rates;
o general economic conditions could cause the financial condition of a large
number of our tenants to deteriorate;
o we may not be able to lease or re-lease apartments quickly or on as
favorable terms as under existing leases;
o we may have incorrectly assessed the environmental condition of our
properties;
o revenues from our third-party apartment property management activities
could decline, or we could incur unexpected costs in performing these
activities;
o an unexpected increase in interest rates could increase our debt service
costs;
o we may not be able to meet our long-term liquidity requirements on
favorable terms; and
o we could lose key executive officers.
Given these uncertainties, we caution you not to place undue reliance
on forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to publicly release
the results of any revision to these forward-
13
looking statements that may be made to reflect any future events or
circumstances or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
You should read this discussion in conjunction with the financial
statements and notes thereto included in this Annual Report.
Results of Operations
2001 Compared to 2000
Revenues
Total revenue in 2001 was $36.3 million, an increase of 7.1% compared
to 2000. Apartment rental income accounted for 85.1% of our total revenue in
2001 compared to 86.4% in 2000.
Apartment rental income in 2001 was $30.9 million, an increase of 5.5%,
or $1.6 million, compared to 2000. This increase is attributable to $1.8 million
rental income at Oak Hollow Apartments Phase 2, which we acquired in December
2000. On a same units basis (for the 3,441 units that we owned throughout all of
both years), apartment rental income declined by 0.5% in 2001 compared to 2000.
On a same units basis, average economic occupancy was 94.2% in 2001
compared to 95.9% in 2000, and average monthly revenue per occupied apartment
was $748 compared to $737 in 2000. Average economic occupancy for all apartments
(including Oak Hollow Apartments Phase 2, which we acquired in December 2000)
was 93.9% in 2001 compared to 95.9% in 2000, and average monthly revenue per
occupied apartment was $744 in 2001 compared to $737 in 2000.
With the exception of Virginia Beach, Virginia, our apartment markets
weakened during 2001, and remain weak. Slight increases in revenue per occupied
apartment were insufficient to overcome the impact of declines in occupancy.
While we remain confident in the long-term prospects for our markets and our
properties, we do not foresee any significant improvement in apartment
operations over the near term. The weakness in the markets is largely the result
of overbuilding. While construction activity has slowed recently, it will take
some time for the excess supply of new apartments to be absorbed. Until then,
the competition for residents will remain intense.
Declining interest rates and, more recently, a general economic
slowdown have also had an impact on apartment occupancy and rental rates. For
those with jobs, lower interest rates have made single-family home ownership far
more affordable. On the other hand, the general economic slowdown has led to
significant job losses. While the underlying explanation as to why declining
interest rates or a general economic slowdown impact apartment operations is
quite different, both have the effect of reducing the pool of potential
apartment residents, which, in turn, puts negative pressure on occupancy and
rental rates.
Restaurant rental income in 2001 was $4.1 million, a decrease of 2.6%
compared to 2000. Restaurant rental income accounted for 11.2% of our total
revenue in 2001 compared to 12.3% in 2000. The decrease in restaurant rental
income is due to the sales of one restaurant property in April 2001 and one
restaurant property in June 2000. Through 2001, we have sold five of the
original 47 restaurants to Boddie-Noell Enterprises, Inc., the lessee, under the
non-economic clause of an agreement that allows Enterprises to close up to seven
restaurants and buy them back for no less than net carrying value.
Restaurant rental income during both 2001 and 2000 was the minimum rent
specified in the lease agreement. Under our master lease with Enterprises,
restaurant rental income payments are the greater of specified minimum rent or
9.875% of food sales. Minimum rent is currently set at $335,000 per month, and
is reduced by approximately $8,000 per month, or $96,000 per year, for each
restaurant that is sold. "Same store" sales (for the 42 restaurants that were
open through all of both years) declined by 3.5% in 2001 compared to 2000. Sales
at these restaurants would have to increase by approximately 11% before we
14
would receive rent exceeding the minimum rent. We do not expect restaurant
rental income to exceed the minimum in 2002.
As we discussed in the notes to our financial statements, effective
January 1, 2001, we acquired the minority interest in BNP Management, Inc. (the
"Management Company"). For 2001, we included the revenues from management
services for three third-party owned properties in our consolidated revenue
amounts. In 2000, we reported (net) equity income related to activities of the
Management Company. This change in basis of presentation has not had a
significant impact on our financial position, overall operating results or cash
flows.
During the fourth quarter of 2001, we expanded our third-party
management activities by entering into contracts to manage 12 multi-family
communities. On January 1, 2002, we added a contract to manage one additional
community. We expect that third-party management contracts will generate
approximately $1 million in management fee income in 2002.
Management fee income totaled $529,000 in 2001, including $123,000
generated from new contracts during the fourth quarter. If the former Management
Company activities had been reflected on a consolidated basis in our 2000
financial statements, equity income as reported would have been replaced with
management fee income of approximately $457,000 in 2000.
Interest and other income includes approximately $562,000 non-routine
income in 2001. Recurring interest and other income was generally comparable to
2000 amounts. The non-routine income items in 2001 are as follows:
o $351,000 shared appreciation related to our participating loan agreement
with The Villages of Chapel Hill Limited Partnership, discussed below;
o $70,000 fee income for arranging refinancing at The Villages of Chapel Hill
and The Villages of Chapel Hill - Phase 5, two managed apartment
properties; and
o $141,000 miscellaneous income, for the refund of 1997 and 1998 state
franchise taxes.
Effective July 1, 2001, we modified our participating loan agreement
with The Villages of Chapel Hill Limited Partnership. This modification
established a $950,000 "fixed portion" of our participation in the increase in
value of the property and extended the period for our 25% participation in
increased rental revenue and increase in value of the property to the earlier of
July 2011 or sale or refinance of the property. We received an initial payment
of $325,883 of the fixed portion in July 2001, which we reflected in the
financial statements as other income. Required payment of the fixed portion is
subject to cash flow from The Villages property, calculated every six months, as
defined in the agreement. At December 31, 2001, payment of $25,681 was currently
due and was received in January 2002. Interest on the outstanding fixed portion
accrues at the greater of a prime rate or 8%, payable monthly. Because the
timing of payment of the remaining fixed portion is subject to cash flow and
therefore uncertain, we have provided a reserve for collection of this
receivable, and we will recognize revenue as it is realized.
Expenses
Total expenses, including non-cash charges for depreciation and
amortization, in 2001 were $33.7 million, an increase of 7.6% compared to 2000.
Apartment operations expense was $11.2 million in 2001, an increase of
14.5%, or $1.4 million, compared to 2000. This increase is attributable to the
addition of Oak Hollow Apartments Phase 2 ($760,000 in 2001), along with the
impact of higher costs for on-site compensation, property taxes and insurance,
and property administration and turnover costs.
Apartment operations expense includes only direct costs of on-site
operations. Apartment operations expense in 2001 represented 36.2% of related
apartment rental income, compared to 33.4% in
15
2000. During the second half of 2001, we experienced a significant increase in
redecoration and turnover expense at our apartment communities. Intense
competition due to overbuilding, home purchases, and job losses due to the
current economic slowdown have all contributed to higher turnover of residents.
As a result, we have spent more in turnover and redecoration, as well as leasing
and promotion expense, in an effort to attract and retain residents. We expect
that these costs will remain at relatively high levels for as long as current
market conditions persist.
We incur no operating expenses for restaurant properties, because the
triple-net lease arrangement requires the lessee to pay virtually all of the
costs and expenses associated with the restaurant properties.
We are now able to identify and compare apartment administration
expenses for 2001 and 2000. These costs include our property management
activities as well as accounting and support activities directly related to
apartment management. Prior to 2001, these costs were included in our line item
for administrative expenses that included both apartment and corporate
administrative costs, and we have reclassified these amounts in the 2000 and
1999 financial statements to conform to the 2001 presentation. In addition, we
now include the expenses of our third-party management activities in these
consolidated expense amounts.
Apartment administration expense totaled $1.1 million in 2001,
including approximately $86,000 in costs directly related to servicing
third-party management contracts acquired during the fourth quarter of the year.
If the activities of the Management Company had been reflected on a consolidated
basis in our 2000 financial statements, apartment administration expense would
have been approximately $910,000 in 2000. The increase in apartment
administration expense in 2001 is attributable to the impact of the increase in
the number of units under management, as well as increased property management
supervisory compensation and travel expenditures.
Corporate administration expense totaled $1.8 million in 2001. If the
activities of the Management Company had been reflected on a consolidated basis
in our 2000 financial statements, corporate administration expense would have
been approximately $1.7 million in 2000. The increase in corporate
administration expense in 2001 is attributable to increased executive and
corporate office staff compensation.
Depreciation expense totaled $7.8 million in 2001, an increase of 9.4%,
or $670,000, compared to 2000. This increase is attributable to the addition of
Oak Hollow Apartments Phase 2 ($402,000 in 2001) along with the impact of
additions and replacements at other apartment communities. We have generally
assigned shorter lives to these specifically identifiable assets than the
composite lives initially assigned at acquisitions. Amortization expense was
essentially the same in 2001 and 2000.
Interest expense totaled $11.1 million in 2001, a decline of 0.5%
compared to 2000. This decline is primarily attributable to the decline in
interest rates during 2001. Overall, weighted average interest rates were 6.8%
in 2001, compared to 7.3% in 2000.
In conjunction with a refinance of long-term debt in September 2001, we
wrote off unamortized loan costs of $129,000. We have reflected this write-off,
net of minority interests' share, with a charge of $100,000 as an extraordinary
item in the financial statements.
In late December 2001, we issued 227,273 shares of Series B Cumulative
Convertible Preferred Stock. Because preferred shareholders have priority over
common shareholders for receipt of dividends, we deduct the amount of net income
that has been or will be paid to preferred shareholders in calculating net
income available to common shareholders. The cumulative preferred dividend, for
four days in the fourth quarter of 2001, totals $2,740. This amount will
increase in future periods; the dividend on the Series B shares is $1.10 per
share per year.
16
Net income
Income available to common shareholders in 2001 was $1.9 million, a
decrease of 4.2% compared to 2000. Operating Partnership earnings before
non-cash charges for depreciation, amortization, and extraordinary item totaled
$11.0 million, a 6.9% increase compared to 2000. The minority interest in
Operating Partnership earnings in 2001 was $597,000, a 0.4% increase compared to
2000.
Income available to common shareholders was $0.33 per share in 2001
compared to $0.35 in 2000. The $0.02 decline in per share amounts resulted from
a number of factors, including an increase in non-cash charges for depreciation
expense and a non-cash extraordinary charge for write-off of loan costs.
2000 Compared to 1999
Revenues
Total revenue in 2000 was $33.9 million, an increase of 1.2% compared
to 1999. Apartment rental income accounted for 86.4% of our total revenue in
2000 compared to 85.5% in 1999.
Apartment rental income in 2000 was $29.3 million, an increase of 2.3%
compared to 1999. This increase reflects improvements in both occupancy and
average rental rates in 2000. Average economic occupancy for all apartments was
95.9% in 2000 compared to 95.1% in 1999. Average monthly revenue per occupied
unit for all apartments was $737 in 2000 compared to $729 in 1999. These
comparisons reflect the results for all 3,440 apartments in operation through
the entire 12 months of both 2000 and 1999. (Our acquisition of Oak Hollow
Apartments Phase 2 took place in late December 2000.)
Apartment rental income was consistent with our expectations in 2000.
Our apartment communities continued to show improved occupancy and rental rates
despite the fact that we operate in some of the most competitive apartment
markets in the United States. With the exception of Virginia Beach, Virginia,
significant new apartment construction over the past few years has resulted in
an oversupply of apartments in our markets.
Restaurant rental income in 2000 was $4.2 million, a decrease of 4.1%
compared to 1999. Restaurant rental income accounted for 12.3% of our total
revenue in 2000 compared to 13.0% in 1999. The decrease in restaurant rental
income was due to the sales of three restaurant properties in June 1999 and one
restaurant property in June 2000. The four restaurants were sold to Boddie-Noell
Enterprises, the lessee, under the non-economic clause of an agreement that
allows the lessee to close up to seven restaurants and buy them back for no less
than net carrying value.
Under the lease, restaurant rental payments are the greater of a
specified minimum rent or 9.875% of food sales. Prior to the sales of the four
restaurants, the minimum rent was $4,500,000 per year. The minimum rent is
reduced by approximately $96,000 per year for each restaurant that is sold.
Restaurant rental income in both 2000 and 1999 was the minimum rent specified in
the lease agreement.
"Same store" sales (for our 43 restaurants that were open through the
entire 12 months of both 2000 and 1999) declined by 3.6% in 2000 compared to
1999.
Interest and other income decreased by 23.7% to $296,000 in 2000 as
compared to 1999. This decrease is primarily attributable to a $47,000 reduction
in interest income due to repayment in February 2000 of $525,000 in principal on
a note receivable from a joint venture partnership. Our interest in the net
income of the Management Company was $131,000 in 2000 compared to $123,000 in
1999.
17
Expenses
Total expenses, including non-cash charges for depreciation and
amortization, in 2000 were $31.3 million, an increase of 4.3% compared to 1999.
We have reclassified amounts for apartment operations, apartment administration,
and corporate administration expenses to conform to our 2001 presentation.
Apartment operations expense was $9.8 million in 2000, an increase of
3.9% compared to 1999. Apartment operations expense represented 33.4% of related
apartment rental income, compared to 32.8% in 1999. This increase was primarily
attributable to higher costs for compensation of on-site staff, taxes, and
property insurance.
Apartment administration expense was $801,000 in 2000, a decline of
7.6% compared to 1999. Corporate administration expense was $1.6 million in
2000, an increase of 5.1% compared to 1999. These costs were in line with
management's expectations.
We incur no operating expenses for restaurant properties, because the
restaurant properties' triple-net lease arrangement requires the lessee to pay
virtually all of the costs and expenses associated with the restaurant
properties.
During 2000, we entered into negotiations for a private equity
transaction. The company terminated those negotiations during the fourth quarter
of 2000, and we recorded a charge of $237,000 for those costs. Because this was
a significant and non-recurring charge, we have reported this charge as a
separate line item in our statement of operations.
Depreciation and amortization totaled $7.7 million in 2000, an increase
of 2.8% compared to 1999. These increases reflect the impact of additions and
replacements at apartment communities.
Interest expense was $11.2 million in 2000, an increase of 4.2%
compared to 1999. This increase was primarily attributable to the approximate
0.75% increase in variable interest rates during the first half of 2000.
Overall, weighted average interest rates were 7.3% in 2000 compared to 7.2% in
1999.
Net income
Income available to common shareholders in 2000 was $2.0 million, a
decrease of 27.3% compared to 1999. Operating Partnership earnings before
depreciation and amortization in 2000 were $10.3 million, a decrease of 6.1%,
while non-cash charges for depreciation and amortization totaled $7.7 million,
an increase of 2.8%, compared to 1999. The minority interest in Operating
Partnership earnings in 2000 was $595,000, a decrease of 18.3% compared to 1999.
Income available to common shareholders was $0.35 per share in 2000
compared to $0.46 in 1999. The decline in per share amounts was primarily due to
increases in interest expense, decrease in restaurant rental income, a
significant non-recurring charge for a terminated equity transaction, and
increases in non-cash charges for depreciation and amortization.

Funds from operations in 2001 (before deduction for minority interest)
totaled $10.8 million, an increase of 6.8% compared to $10.1 million in 2000.
The increase is primarily attributable to non-routine revenue received in 2001,
while operating results for the two years were essentially flat. Funds from
operations in 2000 (before deduction for minority interest) declined 6.3%
compared to $10.8 million in 1999. The modest increase in contribution from
apartment operations in 2000 was not adequate to offset the increase in interest
expense, the decrease in restaurant rental income, or the significant
non-recurring costs of a terminated equity transaction.
19
Funds available for distribution totaled $9.7 million in 2001, an
increase of 4.9% compared to 2000. Funds available for distribution totaled $9.2
million in 2000, a decline of 6.3% compared to $9.9 million in 1999. The
variance in comparison of funds available for distribution and funds from
operations reflects the impact of recurring capital expenditures for major
capital maintenance costs at our older communities. Recurring capital
expenditures averaged $360 per apartment unit in 2001, $311 per apartment unit
in 2000, and $323 per unit in 1999.
Capital Resources and Liquidity
Capital Resources
We intend to pursue our growth strategy through the utilization of our
flexible capital structure. This may include the issuance of Operating
Partnership units, common stock and/or preferred stock, additional debt, and
joint venture investments. We may use our lines of credit or fixed rate,
long-term debt to acquire apartment communities.
Long-term Debt
As of December 31, 2001, all of our properties were encumbered by or
served as collateral for debt. As of December 31, 2001, total long-term debt was
$162.3 million, including $122.2 million of notes payable at fixed interest
rates ranging from 6.35% to 8.55%, and $40.1 million at variable rates indexed
on 30-day LIBOR rates. The weighted average interest rate on debt outstanding at
December 31, 2001, was 6.2%, compared to 7.5% at December 31, 2000. This
reduction is primarily due to declines in variable rates during 2001. At our
current level of variable-rate debt, a 1% fluctuation in variable interest rates
would increase or decrease our annual interest expense by approximately
$390,000.
In November 2001, we modified our previously established revolving
lines of credit with a bank for lines secured by Latitudes Apartments and our
restaurant properties. These line of credit arrangements are now as follows:
o $23.0 million, secured by a deed of trust and assignment of rents of
Latitudes Apartments, due November 2004. Interest-only payments on the
outstanding balance are due monthly at a variable interest rate of 30-day
LIBOR plus 1.75%. At December 31, 2001, the outstanding balance on this
line was $12.0 million. Of this line, $2.0 million is reserved, subject to
available draws against a variable rate note payable, for acquisition
improvements at Oak Hollow Apartments Phase 2, and approximately $9.0
million is available under this revolving line of credit.
o $18.0 million, secured by a deed of trust and assignment of rents of 42
restaurant properties, due January 2004. Interest-only payments on the
outstanding balance are due monthly at a variable interest rate of 30-day
LIBOR plus 1.80%. The available line of credit declines to $17.2 million
effective January 2003. At December 31, 2001, the outstanding balance on
this line was $18.0 million.
In September 2001, we issued a $16.25 million note payable, secured by
a deed of trust and assignment of rents of Paces Commons Apartments. The note
provides for interest at 6.96%, payable in monthly installments, with maturity
in October 2011. We applied approximately $10.1 million of these proceeds to
retire an existing 8.125% deed of trust note for the same property, and $5.0
million of proceeds to reduce our Latitudes line of credit. Paces Commons was
our first apartment community, acquired in June 1993 for an initial acquisition
cost of $14.3 million.
In February 2002, we completed refinancing for Oakbrook Apartments,
with a $7.9 million note payable with interest at 7.1% and maturity in February
2012. This deed of trust note replaced an existing 7.7% note with a balance of
$6.1 million, with the balance of proceeds applied to reduce our Latitudes line
of credit. Oakbrook was our second apartment community, acquired in June 1994
for an initial acquisition cost of $9.4 million.
20
In replacing the financing on Paces Commons and Oakbrook Apartments, we
were able to substantially increase loan amounts based on the lender's estimates
of the appreciated fair market values of the properties. We applied excess
proceeds of these fixed rate loans to reduce outstanding balances on our
variable rate lines of credit.
We utilized long-term debt, along with draws on our lines of credit, to
finance acquisitions of apartment communities in 2000 and 1999 as follows:
o In December 2000, we acquired Oak Hollow Apartments Phase 2 for a total
cost of approximately $12.4 million. We financed this acquisition with a
$9.7 million initial draw on an $11.7 million variable-rate loan secured by
a deed of trust on the community and $2.7 million draws on our lines of
credit. We have subsequently drawn approximately $400,000 against this
loan, and approximately $1.6 million remains available to fund renovations
at this community.
o In January 1999, we acquired Chason Ridge Apartments for a total cost of
approximately $12.5 million. We financed this acquisition by assuming
long-term debt of $10.7 million and $1.8 million draws on our lines of
credit.
We have also utilized our lines of credit to repurchase and retire
approximately 300,000 shares of our common stock in 1999 and 2000, to retire a
$6.1 million note payable to an affiliate in 1999, and to fund capital
improvements at our apartment communities.
A summary of scheduled principal payments on long-term debt is included
in Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk, and the
notes to the financial statements in this Annual Report. Significant scheduled
balloon payments include maturities of:
o our line of credit secured by deeds of trust and assignment of rents of
42 restaurants, due January 2004 ($18.0 million outstanding at
December 31, 2001);
o our line of credit secured by a deed of trust and assignment of rents of
Latitudes Apartments, due November 2004 (up to $23.0 million, $12.0 million
outstanding at December 31, 2001);
o our deed of trust loan for Oak Hollow Apartments Phase 2, due December 2004
(up to $11.7 million for acquisition and renovation construction, $10.1
million outstanding at December 31, 2001); and
o our deed of trust loan for Harris Hill Apartments, due June 2005 ($5.9
million outstanding at December 31, 2001).
Capital Stock and Operating Partnership Units
At December 31, 2001, we had approximately 5.7 million common shares
and approximately 227,000 preferred shares outstanding. In addition, there were
approximately 1.7 million Operating Partnership units, or approximately 23%,
held by minority interest owners.
In December 2001, our Board of Directors authorized the issuance of up
to 454,545 shares of Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, and we
issued 227,273 shares to a single investor for proceeds of $2.5 million. We
utilized these proceeds to reduce the outstanding balance on our Latitudes line
of credit. Under the terms of the investment agreement for this placement, we
must issue the remaining 227,272 shares for an additional $2.5 million by
December 2002, and the offering may be expanded to $10.0 million on the same
terms and conditions through December 2002. The preferred shares have a purchase
price and liquidation preference of $11.00 per share, an initial dividend yield
of 10% through December 2009, and may be converted to our common stock on a
one-for-one basis after three years.
During 1999 through 2001, we issued approximately 67,000 shares of our
common stock through our Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan. We
generally applied these proceeds to capital expenditures at apartment
communities.
21
All of the Operating Partnership units held by minority interest owners
were issued in 1997 through 1999 in conjunction with acquisitions of apartment
communities. Holders of Operating Partnership units generally are able to redeem
their units for cash or, at our option, for shares of our common stock on a
one-for-one basis after one year from issuance.
Cash Flows and Liquidity
Net cash flows from operating activities were $10.7 million in 2001,
and $10.9 million in 2000 and 1999. Investing and financing activities focused
primarily on apartment acquisitions and capital expenditures at apartment
communities, along with payments of dividends and distributions.
We paid dividends of $0.31 per share per quarter in each quarter of
2001, 2000, and 1999. Our payout ratio (the ratio of dividends plus
distributions paid to Operating Partnership funds from operations) was 84.9% in
2001, 90.5% in 2000, and 86.6% in 1999. We intend to pay dividends quarterly,
expect that these dividends will substantially exceed the 90% distribution
requirement for REITs, and anticipate that all dividends will be paid from
current funds from operations.
We continue to produce sufficient cash flow to fund our regular
dividend. However, any number of unforeseen events, or a combination of such
events (for example, a substantial decline in apartment operations, a
substantial increase in short-term interest rates, or the sale of the restaurant
properties or other assets), might necessitate a reduction in the current
dividend.
We generally expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements
through net cash provided by operations and utilization of credit facilities. We
believe that net cash provided by operations is, and will continue to be,
adequate to meet the REIT operating requirements in both the short and the long
term. We anticipate funding our future acquisition activities primarily by using
short-term credit facilities as an interim measure, to be replaced by funds from
equity offerings, long-term debt, or joint venture investments. We expect to
meet our long-term liquidity requirements, such as scheduled debt maturities and
repayment of short-term financing of possible property acquisitions, through
long-term secured and unsecured borrowings and the issuance of debt securities
or additional equity securities. We believe we have sufficient resources to meet
our short-term liquidity requirements.
We received approximately 11.2% of our revenue in 2001, compared to
12.3% in 2000 and 13.0% in 1999, from rent received from Boddie-Noell
Enterprises for the use of our restaurant properties. In addition, Enterprises
is responsible for all of the costs associated with the maintenance and
operations of these properties. Over time, we expect that restaurant rental
income will continue to represent a decreasing percentage of our total revenue.
Under our current line of credit agreement, Enterprises has the right
to purchase, under specified terms, up to two additional restaurants deemed
"non-economic," for no less than net carrying value. The annual minimum rent
would be reduced by approximately $96,000 for each restaurant sold. We would
receive sale proceeds of the greater of net carrying value or fair value. As of
December 31, 2001, the average net book value of the restaurant properties was
approximately $685,000. As in the past, we would most likely apply sale proceeds
to reduce outstanding debt on our line of credit.
Enterprises is a privately owned company with total assets exceeding
$224 million and net equity exceeding $73 million. Its principal line of
business is the operation of approximately 330 Hardee's restaurants. In addition
to its Hardee's operations, Enterprises is the owner of Texas Steakhouse and
Saloon, a casual dining concept with 26 restaurants. Enterprises also conducts
extensive real estate investment and development activities through BNE Land and
Development. These activities involve a full range of property types, including
land, commercial, retail, office, apartment and single-family properties. We
have had extensive discussions with management of Enterprises and have reviewed
their financial statements, cash flow analysis, restaurant contribution
analysis, sales trend analysis and projections. We
22
believe that Enterprises will have sufficient liquidity and capital resources to
meet its obligations under the master lease as well as its general corporate
operating needs.
Capital expenditures and depreciation
For acquired apartment properties, we compute depreciation using the
straight-line method over composite estimated useful lives of the related
assets, generally 40 years for buildings, 20 years for land improvements, 10
years for fixtures and equipment, and five years for floor coverings.
We generally complete and capitalize acquisition improvements
(expenditures that have been identified at the time the property is acquired,
and which are intended to position the property consistent with our physical
standards) within one to two years of acquisition. We capitalize non-recurring
expenditures for additions and betterments to buildings and land improvements.
In addition, we generally capitalize recurring capital expenditures for exterior
painting, roofing, and other major maintenance projects that substantially
extend the useful life of existing assets. For financial reporting purposes, we
depreciate these additions and replacements on a straight-line basis over
estimated useful lives of 5-20 years. We capitalize all floor covering,
appliance, and HVAC replacements, and depreciate them using a straight-line,
group method over estimated useful lives of 5-10 years.
We expense ordinary repairs and maintenance costs at apartment
communities.
During 2001, we capitalized additions and replacements as follows (all
amounts in thousands):
Recurring capital expenditures $1,324
Acquisition improvements 936
Non-recurring additions and betterments 553
Repairs and maintenance at our apartment communities totaled
approximately $4.1 million, including $1.5 million in compensation of service
staff and $2.6 million in payments for materials and contracted services.
Costs of repairs, maintenance, and capital replacements and
improvements at restaurant properties are borne by the lessee.
Inflation
We do not believe that inflation poses a material risk to the company.
The leases at our apartment properties are short term in nature. None are longer
than two years. The restaurant properties are leased on a triple-net basis,
which places the risk of rising operating and maintenance costs on the lessee.
Environmental Matters
Phase I environmental studies performed on the apartment communities
when we acquired each of them did not identify any problems that we believe
would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, liquidity or
capital resources. Environmental transaction screens for each of the restaurant
properties in 1995 did not indicate existence of any environmental problems that
warranted further investigation. Enterprises has indemnified us under the master
lease for environmental problems associated with the restaurant properties.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, Business Combinations, and
No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2001. Under the new rules, goodwill and intangible
assets deemed to have indefinite lives will no longer be amortized but will be
subject to annual
23
impairment tests in accordance with the Statements. Other intangible assets will
continue to be amortized over their useful lives. We will apply the new rules on
accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets beginning in the first
quarter of 2002. We expect that application of the nonamortization provisions of
the Statements will result in an increase in net income of approximately
$400,000 per year. During 2002, we will perform the first of the required
impairments tests of the intangible related to acquisition of management
operations, as of January 1, 2002. We do not believe that the effect of these
tests will have a significant impact on the earnings and financial position of
the company.
In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, effective for years beginning after
December 15, 2001. This Statement addresses financial accounting and reporting
for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets and supersedes Statement No.
121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived
Assets to be Disposed Of, and the accounting and reporting provisions of APB
Opinion No. 30, Reporting the Results of Operations for a Disposal of a Segment
of a Business. We expect to adopt Statement No. 144 as of January 1, 2002, and
we do not expect this adoption to have a significant impact on our financial
position and results of operations.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
A summary of long-term debt as of December 31, 2001 and 2000 is
included in the notes to the financial statements in this Annual Report. At
December 31, 2001, adjusted to reflect the subsequent refinancing related to
Oakbrook Apartments, total long-term debt was $162.3 million, including $123.9
million notes payable at fixed interest rates ranging from 6.35% to 8.55%, and
$38.4 million at variable rates indexed on 30-day LIBOR rates. The weighted
average interest rate on debt outstanding was 6.2% at December 31, 2001, and
7.5% at December 31, 2000. At our current level of variable-rate debt, a 1%
24
change in variable interest rates would increase or decrease our annual interest
expense by approximately $390,000.
The table below provides information about our long-term debt
instruments and presents expected principal maturities and related weighted
average interest rates on those instruments (all amounts in thousands):
Expected maturity dates
2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 Later Total
----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- -----------
Fixed rate notes $ 248 $ 409 $ 441 $ 5,899 $ 365 $116,590 $123,952
Average interest rate 7.69% 7.44% 7.45% 8.46% 7.06% 6.88% 6.96%
Variable rate notes - 833 37,545 - - - 38,378
Average interest rate 3.71% 3.71% 3.71%
We estimate the fair value of fixed rate and variable rate notes using
discounted cash flow analysis, based on our current incremental borrowing rates
for similar types of borrowing arrangements. The fair value of our notes payable
at December 31, 2001, totaled approximately $161.8 million.

Report of Independent Auditors
Board of Directors and Stockholders
BNP Residential Properties, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of BNP Residential
Properties, Inc. as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the related consolidated
statements of income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended December 31, 2001. Our audits also included the
financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 14(a). These financial
statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and
schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. 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 consolidated financial position of BNP Residential
Properties, Inc. at December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the consolidated results of
its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 2001, in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States. Also, in our opinion, the related financial
statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial
statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the
information set forth therein.

BNP RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES, INC.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2001
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of presentation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of BNP Residential
Properties, Inc. (the "company") and BNP Residential Properties Limited
Partnership (the "Operating Partnership"). All significant intercompany balances
and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.
We are a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust
("REIT") with operations in North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia. Our
primary activity is the ownership and operation of apartment communities. We
currently manage 31 multi-family communities containing 6,969 units. Of these,
we own 15 apartment communities, containing 3,681 units. Third parties own the
remaining 16 communities, containing 3,288 units, and we manage them on a
contract basis. In addition to our apartment communities, we own 42 properties
that we lease to a third party under a master lease on a triple-net lease basis
(see Notes 5 and 7). The lessee operates these properties as restaurants and,
under the terms of the lease, is totally responsible for the operation and
maintenance of the properties.
Effective January 2001, the accounts of the Operating Partnership include BNP
Management, Inc. (the "Management Company"). Prior to January 2001, the
Operating Partnership had a 1% voting interest and 95% economic interest in the
Management Company, and used the equity method to account for this investment.
In January 2001, the Operating Partnership acquired the outstanding 99% voting
interest and 5% economic interest in the Management Company for approximately
$16,000. The impact of this change in basis of presentation on the balance sheet
was to increase cash by approximately $373,000 and computer and support
equipment, net of depreciation, by approximately $346,000, and to eliminate
approximately $715,000 investment in and advances to the Management Company
previously reflected on our balance sheet. In addition, we now reflect our
third-party management operations, including management fee income and related
apartment administration expenses, directly in our statements of operations and
cash flows rather than reporting equity in the net income of the Management
Company. We do not expect this change in basis of presentation to have a
significant impact on our financial position, operating results or cash flows.
UpREIT Structure
We are structured as an UpREIT, or umbrella partnership real estate investment
trust. The company is the general partner and owns a majority interest in the
Operating Partnership, through which we conduct all of our operations. We
currently own approximately 77% of the ownership units of the Operating
Partnership. We refer to the limited partners of the Operating Partnership as
minority unitholders or as the minority interest. Limited partners will
generally be able to redeem their units for cash or, at our option as general
partner, for shares of common stock of the company on a one-for-one basis.
UpREITs are generally structured so that distributions of cash from the
Operating Partnership are allocated between the REIT and the limited partners
based on their respective unit ownership.
Segment Reporting
Operating segments are revenue-producing components of the company for which
separate financial information is produced internally for our management. Under
this definition, we operated, for all periods presented, as a single segment
(apartment operations). Our apartment operating activities are located within a
relatively small geographic area, and our chief operating decision maker does
not receive or utilize financial information on the basis of geographic areas.
We evaluate each community's performance
34
individually; however, all of these communities are garden-style construction,
operate in the mid-market price range, share similar economic characteristics,
and provide similar services. We do not conduct any operating activities with
regard to restaurant rental income; the triple-net lease arrangement for these
properties requires the lessee to pay virtually all of the costs associated with
these properties.
Real Estate Investments
Real estate investments are stated at the lower of cost, less accumulated
depreciation, or fair value. For acquired properties, we compute depreciation
using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related
assets, generally 40 years for buildings, 20 years for land improvements, 10
years for fixtures and equipment, and five years for floor coverings. We expense
ordinary repairs and maintenance costs at apartment communities. We capitalize
non-recurring expenditures for additions and betterments to buildings and land
improvements. In addition, we generally capitalize recurring capital
expenditures for exterior painting, roofing, and other major maintenance
projects that substantially extend the useful life of existing assets. We
depreciate these additions and replacements on a straight-line basis over
estimated useful lives of five to 20 years. We capitalize all floor covering,
appliance, and HVAC replacements, and depreciate them using a straight-line,
group method over estimated useful lives of five to 10 years. Costs of repairs
and maintenance and capital improvements at restaurant properties are borne by
the lessee.
We evaluate our real estate assets from time to time, or upon occurrence of
significant adverse changes in operations, to assess whether any impairment
indicators are present that affect the recovery of the recorded value. If we
considered any real estate assets to be impaired, we would record a loss to
reduce the carrying value of the property to its estimated fair value. At
December 31, 2001 and 2000, none of our assets were considered impaired.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
We consider all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or
less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
Deferred Costs
We amortize the intangible asset related to the 1994 acquisition of management
operations using the straight-line method over 10 years. Accumulated
amortization on this asset was approximately $2.6 million at December 31, 2001,
and $2.2 million at December 31, 2000.
We defer financing costs and amortize them using the straight-line method over
the terms of the related notes. If we pay down or pay off notes prior to their
maturity, we write off the related unamortized financing costs. Accumulated
amortization on these assets was $580,000 at December 31, 2001, and $430,000 at
December 31, 2000.
We defer costs incurred in connection with proposed acquisition of properties
and equity transactions until the proposed transactions are consummated. If we
determine that the proposed transaction is not probable, we charge these costs
to expense. During 2000, we recorded a charge of $237,000 for costs of an equity
transaction that was terminated by the company during the fourth quarter.
Fair Values of Financial Instruments
The carrying amount reported on the balance sheet for cash and cash equivalents
approximates fair value. We estimate the fair value of fixed rate notes and
variable rate notes payable using discounted cash flow analysis, based on our
current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.
At December 31, 2001, the fair value of our mortgage and other notes payable
approximated the carrying value.
Use of Estimates
We are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts
reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes in order to prepare
them in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Depreciation
amounts included in these financial statements reflect our estimate of the life
and related depreciation rates for rental properties. In addition, the carrying
amount of the
35
intangible asset related to acquisition of management operations reflects our
evaluation of the continuing value and useful life of this asset. Actual results
could differ from these estimates.
Revenue Recognition
We record rental and other revenue as it is earned. Rental payments received
prior to the first of a given month are recorded as prepaid rent. Tenant
security deposits are held in trust in bank accounts separate from operating
cash. Tenant security deposits totaled $192,000 at December 31, 2001, and
$229,000 at December 31, 2000; related trust account balances are included in
the balance sheet in other current assets.
In December 2000, we received $800,000 advance payment under a contract for use
of our cable equipment at five apartment communities. This receipt, net of
approximately $20,000 related costs, was recorded as deferred revenue, and we
plan to recognize this rental revenue over the ten-year contract term beginning
in 2001.
Advertising Costs
We expense advertising costs as they are incurred. Advertising expense totaled
$342,000 in 2001, $296,000 in 2000, and $270,000 in 1999.
Stock-Based Compensation
We measure compensation cost for stock option plans in accordance with
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for our fixed
stock option plans.
Earnings Per Share
We calculate earnings per share based on the weighted average number of shares
outstanding during each year.
Comprehensive Income
Comprehensive income is defined as changes in shareholders' equity exclusive of
transactions with owners (such as capital contributions and dividends). We did
not have any comprehensive income items in 2001, 2000, or 1999, other than net
income as reported.
New Accounting Pronouncements
We adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 133, Accounting
for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended by Statements No.
137 and No. 138, effective January 2001. This Statement requires the recognition
of all derivatives on our consolidated balance sheet at fair value. This
adoption had no impact on our results of operations or financial position.
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statements of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, Business Combinations, and No. 142,
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2001. Under the new rules, goodwill and intangible assets deemed to
have indefinite lives will no longer be amortized but will be subject to annual
impairment tests in accordance with the Statements. Other intangible assets will
continue to be amortized over their useful lives. We will apply the new rules on
accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets beginning in the first
quarter of 2002. We expect that application of the nonamortization provisions of
the Statements will result in an increase in net income of approximately
$406,000 per year. During 2002, we will perform the first of the required
impairments tests of the intangible related to acquisition of management
operations as of January 1, 2002; we do not believe that the effect of these
tests will have a significant impact on the earnings and financial position of
the company.
In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, effective for years beginning after December 15,
2001. This Statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for the
impairment or disposal of long-lived assets and supersedes Statement No. 121,
Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to
be Disposed Of, and the accounting and
36
reporting provisions of APB Opinion No. 30, Reporting the Results of Operations
for a Disposal of a Segment of a Business. We expect to adopt Statement No. 144
as of January 1, 2002, and we do not expect this adoption to have a significant
impact on our financial position and results of operations.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the 2000 and 1999 financial statements have been reclassified
to conform to the 2001 presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on
net income, shareholders' equity or cash flows as previously reported.

The results of operations of the following apartment communities are included in
the financial statements from the dates of acquisition, as follows:
2000 acquisition:
o Oak Hollow Apartments Phase 2 (formerly known as Page Mill Apartments)
acquired effective December 28, 2000, for a total cost of approximately
$12.4 million, paid in cash.
1999 acquisition:
o Chason Ridge Apartments acquired effective January 1, 1999, for a total
cost of approximately $12.5 million, including cash payments totaling
approximately $1.8 million and assumption of debt.
In October 2001, we purchased 7.2 acres of land adjacent to Chason Ridge
Apartments for a cost of approximately $370,000. This additional land purchase
compliments and provides additional buffer for the existing site, and may be
used for construction of additional apartment units in the future.
In April 2001, we sold one restaurant property to the lessee for its net
carrying value of approximately $406,000. In June 2000, we sold one restaurant
property to the lessee for its net carrying value of approximately $644,000. In
June 1999, we sold three restaurant properties to the lessee for their net
carrying value of approximately $2.1 million. We applied the proceeds from these
sales to improvements at apartment communities and to reduce our line of credit
that is secured by the restaurant properties.

================== ==================
We modified the revolving lines of credit with a bank in November 2001, as
described above. In conjunction with this modification, we paid and recorded
$152,000 in deferred loan costs.
In September 2001, we issued a $16.25 million note payable, secured by a deed of
trust and assignment of rents of Paces Common Apartments. The note provides for
interest at an effective rate of 6.96%. Interest-only payments of approximately
$97,000 are due monthly through October 2002. Beginning November 2002, monthly
payments of principal and interest total $106,600, with maturity in October
2011. In conjunction with this transaction, we paid and recorded deferred loan
costs of $144,000.
We applied approximately $10.1 million of the Paces Commons refinance proceeds
to retire an existing deed of trust note with interest at 8.125%. In conjunction
with this payoff, we wrote off unamortized loan costs of $129,000. We have
reflected this write-off, net of minority interests' share, in the financial
statements as an extraordinary item.
We financed the acquisition of Oak Hollow Apartments Phase 2 in December 2000
with a $9.7 million draw on a variable rate deed of trust loan for up to $11.7
million. The note is payable at maturity in December 2004, and provides for
monthly interest payments on the outstanding balance at 30-day LIBOR plus 1.85%.
Additional draws totaling $2.0 million are available through December 2002 to
fund renovations to the apartment community. In conjunction with this financing,
we paid and recorded $47,000 in deferred loan costs.
In conjunction with the acquisition of Chason Ridge Apartments in January 1999,
we assumed a HUD-insured loan in the amount of $9.7 million, payable in monthly
installments of $72,000 including principal and interest at 8.5%. In addition,
the note provides for payment of mortgage insurance with a premium of 0.5% of
the loan balance. A deed of trust and assignment of rents of Chason Ridge
Apartments secure the loan. The interest rate on this loan exceeded current
market rates at the time of the acquisition, and the note may not be prepaid
until January 2005. Accordingly, the seller gave a $1.0 million credit for
defeasance of above-market interest, which we will apply to reduce recorded
interest expense monthly through 2004.
Interest payments were as follows:

The loan agreements related to the lines of credit include covenants and
restrictions relating to, among other things, specified levels of debt service
coverage, leverage and net worth. To date, we have met all applicable
requirements.
In January 2002, we applied a $6.0 million draw against our Latitudes line of
credit and operating cash to retire a $6.1 million fixed rate 7.66% note payable
secured by a deed of trust for Oakbrook Apartments. In February 2002, we issued
a $7.9 million note payable, secured by a deed of trust and assignment of rents
of Oakbrook Apartments. The note provides for interest at an effective rate of
7.09%, with monthly payments of principal and interest totaling $53,000, and
matures February 2012. We applied these proceeds to reduce our Latitudes line of
credit. In conjunction with these transactions, we wrote off unamortized loan
costs of approximately $95,000 and have recorded deferred costs of approximately
$80,000.
As of December 31, 2001, adjusted to reflect the subsequent refinancing related
to Oakbrook Apartments, scheduled principal payments were approximately as
follows: 2002, $248,000; 2003, $1,242,000; 2004, $37,986,000; 2005, $5,899,000;
2006, $365,000; and 2007 and thereafter, $116,590,000.
Note 4. Shareholders' Equity
Authorized Capital Stock
Our bylaws and certificate of incorporation allow the Board of Directors to
authorize the issuance of up to 100 million shares of common stock and 10
million shares of preferred stock, issuable in series whose characteristics
would be set by the Board of Directors.
In December 2001, the Board of Directors authorized the issuance of up to
454,545 shares of Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock at a price of
$11.00 per share, and we issued 227,273 shares to a single investor for proceeds
of $2.5 million. Under the terms of the investment agreement for this placement,
we must issue the remaining 227,272 shares for $2.5 million by December 2002,
and the parties have the option of expanding the offering to $10 million on the
same terms and conditions through December 2002. The preferred shares have a
purchase price and liquidation preference of $11.00 per share. The agreement
provides for an initial dividend yield of 10% through December 2009, then 12%
for two years, and thereafter the greater of 14% or 900 basis points over the
5-year Treasury rate. The investor will have the right to convert each Series B
share into one share of the company's common stock after three years or in
certain circumstances, such as a change of control or if the company calls the
Series B stock for redemption. The holders of preferred shares are generally not
entitled to vote on matters submitted to shareholders. Dividends on preferred
shares are subject to declaration by the Board of Directors.
Approximately 2.9 million authorized shares of common stock are reserved for
future issuance under the company's Stock Option and Incentive Plan, Dividend
Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan, and for conversion of Series B Preferred
shares and Operating Partnership units.
Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan
Our Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan ("DRIP Plan") allows the
company, at its option, to issue shares directly to Plan participants. We issued
37,923 shares in 2001 and 29,020 shares in 1999 through the Plan.

110,000 shares at $12.25, 120,000 shares at $13.125, and 60,000 shares at $11.25
from the calculation of diluted earnings per share for 2001. We did not include
any of the options outstanding during 2000 and 1999 in the calculation of
diluted earnings per share for these years. The exercise price of these options
was greater than the average market price of the common shares for these
periods, and the effect would be anti-dilutive.
Stock Option and Incentive Plan
We have reserved 570,000 shares of the company's common stock for issuance under
our employee Stock Option and Incentive Plan. Options have been granted to
employees at prices equal to the fair market value of the stock on the dates the
options were granted or repriced. Options are generally exercisable in four
annual installments beginning one year after the date of grant, and expire ten
years after the date of grant.
The following table summarizes information about stock options outstanding at
December 31, 2001.

We calculated the fair value of each option grant on the date of grant using the
Black-Scholes option-pricing model. No options were granted in 2001 or 1999. We
used the following assumptions to estimate the fair value of options granted in
2000:
Weighted average fair value $ 0.02
Weighted average exercise price 9.25
Weighted average dividend yield 13.41%
Expected volatility 0.163
Weighted average risk-free interest rate 5.18%
Expected useful life 4 years
Had we determined compensation cost for our fixed stock option plans consistent
with the fair value method outlined in Financial Accounting Standards Board
Statement No. 123, the impact on our net income and earnings per share would not
have been material.

Note 5. Rental Operations
Apartment Properties
We lease our residential apartments under operating leases with monthly payments
due in advance. Terms of the apartment leases are generally one year or less,
with none longer than two years.
Restaurant Properties - Master Lease Agreement
The lease agreement with Boddie-Noell Enterprises ("Enterprises") has a primary
term expiring in December 2007, but grants Enterprises three five-year renewal
options. Enterprises pays annual rent equal to the greater of the specified
minimum rent or 9.875% of food sales from the restaurants. Under certain
conditions as defined in the agreement, both Enterprises and the company have
the right to substitute another restaurant property for a property covered by
the lease. After December 31, 2007, Enterprises has the right to terminate the
lease on up to five restaurant properties per year by offering to purchase them
under specified terms.
In addition, we entered into a separate agreement with Enterprises that, after
December 31, 1997, allows Enterprises to purchase, under specified terms, up to
seven restaurant properties deemed non-economic. In April 2001, we sold one
restaurant to Enterprises, the lessee, under the non-economic clause of the
restaurant master lease. We previously sold one restaurant in June 2000, and
three restaurants in June 1999, to Enterprises under this clause. Under the
terms of this clause, the lessee may close up to two additional restaurants and
buy them back for no less than net carrying value.
42
The lease requires Enterprises to pay monthly installments of minimum rent and
quarterly payments calculated based on the percentage rent, subject to an annual
calculation of the greater of minimum or percentage rent. We received the
minimum rent in 2001, 2000, and 1999. We expect annual minimum rent will be
approximately $4,021,000 in years 2002 through 2007.
Note 6. Income Taxes
We operate as, and elect to be taxed as, a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code.
To qualify as a REIT, we must meet a number of organizational and operational
requirements, including a requirement that we currently distribute at least 90%
(95% in 2000 and 1999) of our adjusted taxable income to our common
shareholders. We intend to adhere to these requirements and maintain the
company's REIT status. As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to corporate
level federal or state income tax on taxable income we distribute currently to
our shareholders. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will
be subject to federal and state income taxes at regular corporate rates
(including any applicable alternative minimum tax) and may not be able to
qualify as a REIT for four subsequent taxable years. Even if we qualify for
taxation as a REIT, we may be subject to certain state and local taxes on income
and property, and to federal income and excise taxes on undistributed taxable
income. In addition, taxable income from non-REIT activities managed through
taxable REIT subsidiaries would be subject to federal, state and local income
taxes.
The following table reconciles our income as reflected in our financial
statements to REIT taxable income. Taxable income differs from income for
financial statement purposes, primarily due to differences for tax purposes in
the estimated useful lives and methods used to compute depreciation and the
carrying value (basis) of the investment in properties. For federal and state
income tax purposes, we reported real estate investments with a total cost basis
of $235.8 million and accumulated depreciation of $53.1 million as of December
31, 2001.

================= ================= =================
The actual tax deduction for dividends that we take, and the taxability of
dividends to shareholders, is based on a measurement of "earnings and profits"
as defined by the Internal Revenue Code. Earnings and profits differ from
regular taxable income, primarily due to further differences in the estimated
useful lives and methods used to compute depreciation. The following table
reconciles cash dividends paid with the dividends paid deduction taken by the
company on its tax returns.

We paid dividend distributions totaling $1.24 per share to common shareholders
each year during 2001, 2000, and 1999. In early January following each year end,
we must make an estimate of earnings and profits, and publish an allocation
between ordinary dividend income and non-taxable return of capital to common
shareholders. The allocation between ordinary dividend income and non-taxable
return of capital to common shareholders was as follows:

Note 7. Related Party Transactions
Certain directors and officers of the company hold similar positions with
Enterprises and Boddie Investment Company. We purchased 47 restaurant properties
from BNE Realty Partners, Limited Partnership (an affiliate of Enterprises) for
$43.2 million in 1987. We derived approximately 11.2% of our revenue in 2001
from payment of rent from Enterprises for the use of our restaurant properties.
In addition, Enterprises is responsible for all taxes, utilities, renovations,
insurance and maintenance expenses relating to the operation of the restaurant
properties.
Certain current and former directors of the company were the sole shareholders
and directors of BT Venture Corporation, which we acquired in 1994.
In connection with the acquisition of BT Venture Corporation, we assumed a note
payable to Enterprises in the amount of $6,100,000 and a note payable to Boddie
Investment Company in the amount of $956,000. In May 1998, we issued 65,648
shares of our common stock to retire the note payable to Boddie Investment
Company. In May 1999, we retired the note payable to Enterprises with a cash
payment.
In September 1997, we signed an agreement to acquire a portfolio of seven
apartment communities. We refer to these acquisitions as the "Chrysson
acquisitions" and to the former owners as the "Chrysson Parties." Certain
current directors of the company were shareholders and officers in the Chrysson
Parties. We have issued 1,349,954 Operating Partnership units through December
31, 2000, in conjunction with acquisitions of six of the apartment communities.
We will issue up to 139,000 units to acquire one remaining Chrysson apartment
community when it has reached certain performance standards specified in the
agreement.
In February 1997, we signed a participating loan agreement with The Villages of
Chapel Hill Limited Partnership, a limited partnership whose general partner is
Boddie Investment Company. We made a loan to The Villages of $2.5 million to
fund a substantial rehabilitation of its apartment community and guaranteed a
$1.5 million bank loan. In exchange, we receive minimum interest on our loan at
the greater of 12.5% or the 30-day LIBOR rate plus 6.125% and an annual loan
guarantee fee. We also receive 25% participation in increased rental revenue and
25% participation in the increase in value of the property. The Villages
subsequently reduced the outstanding principal balance of its note payable to us
to $100,000,
44
which has been outstanding since February 2000. In July 2001, we modified the
participating loan agreement to establish a $950,000 "fixed portion" of our
participation in the increase in value of the property and extend the period for
our 25% participation in increased rental revenue and increase in value of the
property to the earlier of July 2011 or sale or refinance of the property.
Required payment of the fixed portion is subject to cash flow from The Villages
property, as defined in the agreement. Interest on the outstanding fixed portion
accrues at the greater of a prime rate or 8%, payable monthly.
We received interest and participation income of $85,000 in 2001, $103,000 in
2000, and $151,000 in 1999. In addition, we received guarantee fees of $37,500
in 2001, 2000, and 1999. We received $325,883 of the fixed portion in July 2001.
At December 31, 2001, $25,681 of the fixed portion was currently due, received
in January 2002. Because the collectibility of the remaining fixed portion is
subject to cash flow and therefore uncertain, we have provided a reserve for
collection of this receivable. At December 31, 2001, we have reflected the
principal portion of notes receivable from The Villages of Chapel Hill Limited
Partnership as follows:
Advances receivable, due February 2004 $100,000
Fixed portion of shared appreciation 598,436
Less reserve for collection of fixed portion (598,436)
----------------
$100,000
================
We have made loans totaling $180,000 to certain officers of the company. In
addition, the company has guaranteed a note payable to a bank by one officer by
agreeing to redeem up to 39,570 shares of our common stock at an imputed value
of approximately $435,000 in the event of a default.
Certain officers of the company are also officers of the Management Company and
owned a 5% economic interest and a 99% voting interest in it. We acquired their
interests in the Management Company for payment of $16,000 in January 2001.
Note 8. Profit Sharing Plan
The employees of the company are participants in a profit sharing plan pursuant
to Section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code. We make limited matching
contributions based on the level of employee participation as defined in the
plan. We made contributions to the plan totaling $68,000 in 2001, $48,000 in
2000, and $44,000 in 1999.
Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies
We currently lease approximately 6,500 square feet of office space in downtown
Charlotte, North Carolina, for our corporate and administrative offices. Rent
expense totaled approximately $166,000 in 2001. The lease provides for monthly
rental of approximately $14,000 and expires December 2002.
We have agreements with three of our executive officers that provide for cash
compensation and other benefits if we terminate them without cause or if a
change in control of the company occurs.
The company is a party to a variety of legal proceedings arising in the ordinary
course of its business. We believe that such matters will not have a material
effect on the financial position of the company.
