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 28 multi-family communities
containing 6,920 units. Of these, we own 19 apartment communities containing
4,571 units. Third parties own the remaining 9 communities, containing 2,349
units, and we manage them on a contract basis. In addition to our apartment
communities, we own 41 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 common unitholders" or "minority
interest." We currently own approximately 76% of the outstanding Operating
Partnership common units.
As of March 14, 2003, we have 5,848,652 shares of common stock and
1,844,264 Operating Partnership minority units outstanding. We have
approximately 1,450 shareholders of record. We estimate that there are
approximately 4,800 beneficial owners of our common stock. Our shares are listed
on the American Stock Exchange, trading under the symbol "BNP." We also have
454,545 shares of preferred stock outstanding, held by one investor.
We have approximately 180 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 28202-6024, and our telephone
number is 704/944-0100.
In addition to this Annual Report, we file quarterly and special
reports, proxy statements and other information with the SEC. All documents that
we file with the SEC are available free of charge on our corporate website,
which is www.bnp-residential.com. You may also read and copy any document that
we file at the public reference facilities of the SEC at 450 Fifth Street NW,
Washington, D.C. 20549. Please call the SEC at (800) SEC-0330 for further
information about the public reference facilities. These documents also may be
accessed through the SEC's electronic data gathering, analysis and retrieval
system ("EDGAR") via electronic means, including the SEC's home page on the
Internet (http://www.sec.gov). In addition, since some of our securities are
listed on the American Stock Exchange, you can read our SEC filings at the
offices of the American Stock Exchange, 86 Trinity Place, New York, New York
10006.
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
3
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.
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 3,400 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.
During the fourth quarter of 2001, we expanded our third-party
management activities by entering into contracts to manage selected multi-family
communities.
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 of this preferred stock for proceeds of $2.5 million.
Recent Developments
Operating results for 2002 were disappointing. The same factors we
cited in 2001 as having a negative impact on apartment operations continued and,
in fact, intensified in 2002. While construction of
4
new apartment communities appears to have slowed somewhat, we continue to feel
the impact of overbuilding of apartments in our markets. Compounding the
oversupply issue is weak demand caused by the weak economy and extremely low
interest rates. The weak economy has resulted in significant job losses, while
low interest rates have made home ownership a more viable option as compared to
apartment rental. While the underlying reasons why a weak economy and low
interest rates impact apartment demand are quite different, both result in
weakened demand for apartments. As a result, we saw lower occupancy and lower
rental rates in 2002.
On a more positive note, we have continued to add to and improve our
portfolio of apartment properties. During 2002, we acquired three apartment
properties. Subsequent to year end, we purchased one additional apartment
property.
In September 2002, we issued 227,272 shares of our Series B 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 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 19 apartment
communities consisting of 4,571 apartment units (including one community of 144
apartment units that we acquired in March 2003). For the fourth quarter of 2002,
our average economic occupancy rate was 92.0%, and average monthly revenue per
occupied unit was $728. The average age of the apartment communities is
approximately 11 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 36% one-bedroom units, 57%
two-bedroom units, and 7% three-bedroom units. The units average 988 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 8 summarizes information about each of our apartment
communities.
Restaurant Properties
We lease the 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. Assuming
renewal of 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.
The original lease was for 47 restaurant properties. Since 1999, we
have sold six restaurants deemed non-economic to Enterprises. After the sale of
the sixth such property in February 2003, the minimum rent on the remaining 41
restaurants is approximately $3.9 million per year.
The average acquisition cost of the original 47 restaurant properties
was approximately $920,000 per property. The net carrying value of the 42
restaurant properties held at December 31, 2002, was $28.1 million (an average
of $668,000 per property). The net carrying value of the restaurant we sold in
February 2003 was approximately $588,000.
The restaurant properties are operated by Enterprises, which is
responsible for all aspects of the operation, maintenance and upkeep of the
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 applicable codes and standards.
Forty of the restaurant properties are operated as Hardee's restaurants
pursuant to franchise agreements with Hardee's Food Systems, Inc. During 2002,
one property was converted from a Hardee's to a BBQ and Ribs. Enterprises paid
for the entire cost of the conversion, approximately $500,000. There is no
applicable franchise agreement for the converted restaurant, as Enterprises owns
the BBQ and Ribs concept.
Each of the restaurant properties consists of a one-story brick, stucco
or wood building that embodies a contemporary style with substantial plate glass
areas. The buildings average 3,400 square feet
6
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 as restaurants of another concept or for
non-restaurant applications.
The locations of our restaurant properties are listed on page 9 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, including
insurance for acts of terrorism at all of our apartment properties. There are
types of losses, however, such as from wars 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.

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 November 2002, the plan
administrator, Wachovia Bank, N. A., reinvests dividends on behalf of plan
participants in our common stock. Wachovia 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 $25,000 per quarter. Participants do not pay any commissions
on stock purchased under the plan.
Equity Compensation 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 provides summary information about securities to be
issued under our equity compensation plan. More detailed information is provided
in the notes to our financial statements included in this Annual Report.

Sales of Unregistered Securities
In September 2002, we issued 227,272 shares of our Series B Preferred
Stock to a single investor. Previously, in December 2001, we issued 227,273
shares of our Series B Preferred Stock to the same 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 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 the company's calling the Series B stock for redemption. The
purchaser was an accredited investor, and offers were not accompanied by any
form of general solicitation.

(1) We adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill
and Other Intangible Assets, effective January 1, 2002. Under the new
rules, the intangible related to our 1994 acquisition of management
operations, is no longer amortized after December 31, 2001. Amortization
expense related to this intangible was approximately $406,000 per year in
1998 through 2001.
(2) 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 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
14
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.
We calculated EBITDA as follows (all amounts in thousands):

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;
15
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 revenues from our third-party apartment property management activities could
decline, or we could incur unexpected costs in performing these activities;
o we may have incorrectly assessed the environmental condition of our
properties;
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-looking statements that may be made
to reflect new information, future events or otherwise.
You should read this discussion in conjunction with the financial
statements and notes thereto included in this Annual Report.
Results of Operations
2002 compared to 2001
Revenues
Total revenue in 2002 was $38.2 million, an increase of 5.2% compared
to 2001. Apartment related income (apartment rental income plus income from
apartment management and investment activities) accounted for 89.5% of our total
revenue in 2002 compared to 88.8% in 2001.
Apartment rental income in 2002 totaled $32.9 million, an increase of
6.6%, or $2.0 million, compared to 2001. This increase is attributable to $3.0
million rental income at three apartment communities that we acquired during
2002, which offsets declines at other communities. On a same units basis (for
the 3,681 units that we owned throughout all of both 2001 and 2002), apartment
rental income declined by 3.0% in 2002 compared to 2001.
On a same units basis, average economic occupancy was 92.8% in 2002
compared to 93.9% in 2001, and average monthly revenue per occupied apartment
was $730 compared to $744 in 2001. In 2002, average economic occupancy for all
apartments (including Barrington Place, Brookford Place and Alta Harbour, which
we acquired during 2002) was 92.8%, and average revenue per occupied apartment
was $733.
The same factors we cited in 2001 as having a negative effect on our
apartment markets, an oversupply of apartments, significant job losses and
surprisingly strong sales of modestly priced homes, continued and, in fact,
intensified in 2002. Significant new apartment construction over the past few
years has resulted in an oversupply of apartments in virtually all of our
markets. While construction activity slowed in 2002, the number of apartments
currently available in most markets clearly exceeds demand. This has led to
intense competition for residents with discounts, specials, concessions and free
rent being the rule, rather than the exception. For the first time in many years
we saw true erosion in both rental rates and occupancy in our apartment markets.
Until the excess supply of apartments is absorbed, we expect the competition for
residents will remain intense.
Compounding the impact of oversupply, falling interest rates and a
general economic slowdown have resulted in reduced demand for apartments. Low
interest rates have made single-family home
16
ownership far more affordable. On the other hand, the economic slowdown has led
to significant job losses in our markets. While the underlying explanation as to
why declining interest rates or an economic slowdown impact apartment operations
is quite different, both have the effect of reducing the pool of potential
apartment residents, which in turn puts further negative pressure on occupancy
and rental rates.
While we remain confident in the long-term prospects for our apartment
properties and our markets, we do not expect material improvement in apartment
operations until the economy strengthens sufficiently to promote job growth and
increased demand for apartments. Exactly when this will occur is outside of our
control and beyond our ability to predict. In the meantime, we cannot allow
short-term market conditions to distract us from our long-term plans and
objectives.
We have assembled a portfolio of high-quality, well-maintained,
well-located, middle market apartment communities. Our goal is to maximize the
performance of our apartment properties. We believe the best course of action
for us at this time is to work diligently to improve occupancy and to continue
to maintain and improve our apartment properties to ensure that they are as
competitive as possible.
Restaurant rental income in 2002 totaled $4.0 million, a decline of
0.8% compared to 2001. The decrease in restaurant rental income is due to the
sale of one restaurant property in April 2001. Restaurant rental income during
both 2002 and 2001 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 set
at approximately $8,000 per month, or $96,000 per year, per restaurant property.
Following the sale of one additional restaurant in February 2003, minimum rent
is currently set at $327,000 per month.
"Same store" sales (for the 42 restaurants that were open throughout
all of both 2001 and 2002) declined by 2.6% in 2002 compared to 2001. Sales at
these restaurants would have to increase by approximately 14% before we would
receive rent exceeding the minimum rent. We do not expect restaurant rental
income to exceed the minimum in 2003.
Management fee income in 2002 totaled $1.1 million, a significant
increase compared to $0.5 million in 2001. This increase is attributable to a
significant increase in the number of managed properties in the fourth quarter
of 2001 and early 2002. We expect this comparison to decline due to our
acquisition of Barrington Place and Brookford Place (which we previously
fee-managed) in May 2002 as well as termination of contracts for management of
several smaller properties.
Interest and other income totaled $158,000 in 2002 compared to $813,000
in 2001. This comparison reflects the impact of non-routine income totaling
approximately $560,000 in 2001, as well as a decline in interest income during
2002.
Expenses
Total expenses, including non-cash charges for depreciation and
amortization, in 2002 were $36.5 million, an increase of $2.9 million, or 8.6%,
compared to 2001.
Apartment operations expense totaled $12.7 million in 2002, an increase
of 13.4%, or $1.5 million, compared to 2001. This increase is primarily
attributable to the addition of three apartment communities ($1.1 million)
during 2002. On a same units basis, apartment operations expense increased by
3.7% in 2002 compared to 2001, reflecting the impact of higher costs for
insurance ($350,000 increase in 2002 for these communities), along with higher
costs associated with marketing and maintenance.
Apartment operations expense includes only direct costs of on-site
operations. Apartment operations expense in 2002 represented 38.6% of related
apartment rental income, compared to 36.2% in 2001.
17
There is a tendency to respond to markets like those we are currently
facing by indiscriminately slashing expenses. We will certainly strive to avoid
unnecessary expenditures, but will not sacrifice the long-term potential of our
apartment properties by delaying or deferring needed repairs, maintenance or
capital improvements in order to achieve more favorable short-term results. In
fact, maximizing the performance of our apartment properties in the current
market environment may well require spending more money on marketing and
maintenance than might be necessary in more favorable markets. While we do not
intend to squander money on unnecessary expenses, we believe that competitive
markets, such as the one we find ourselves in today, may in fact require
increased expenses.
We incur no operating expenses for restaurant properties, because the
triple-net lease arrangement requires the lessee to pay virtually all the costs
and expenses associated with the restaurant properties.
Apartment administration expense (the costs associated with oversight,
accounting and support of our apartment management activities for both owned and
third-party properties) totaled $1.4 million in 2002, an increase of 23.3%
compared to 2001. This increase is primarily attributable to a significant
increase in the number of managed properties in the fourth quarter of 2001 and
early 2002.
Corporate administration expense totaled $2.0 million in 2002, an
increase of 7.8% compared to 2001. This increase is primarily attributable to
executive bonuses paid in the fourth quarter of 2002 along with the cost of an
executive compensation study conducted during 2002.
Depreciation expense totaled $8.8 million in 2002, an increase of
12.3%, or $1.0 million, compared to 2001. This increase is primarily
attributable to the addition of three apartment communities ($634,000 in 2002),
as well as 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 acquisition.
Amortization expense totaled $256,000 in 2002, compared to $596,000 in
2001. Effective January 1, 2002, in accordance with current accounting guidance,
we no longer amortize the intangible related to our 1994 acquisition of
management operations. Amortization expense for this asset was approximately
$406,000 each year in 2001 and 2000.
Interest expense totaled $11.5 million in 2002, an increase of 3.2%
compared to 2001. This increase reflects the impact of approximately $49 million
in new debt related to apartment acquisitions in the second and third quarters
of 2002, offset by the effect of lower interest rates on our lines of credit and
the impact of refinancing two fixed-rate loans at lower rates during 2001 and
early 2002. Variable interest rates have declined approximately 0.5% since
December 2001. Overall, weighted average interest rates were 6.2% in 2002,
compared to 6.8% in 2001.
In conjunction with the refinancing of long-term debt in the first
quarter of 2002, we wrote off unamortized loan costs of $95,000. We have
reflected this write-off, net of minority interests' share, with a charge of
$73,000 as an extraordinary item in the financial statements.
In late December 2001, we issued 227,273 shares of Series B Cumulative
Convertible Preferred Stock. In September 2002, we issued an additional 227,272
shares of this preferred stock. Because preferred shareholders have priority
over common shareholders for receipt of dividends, we deduct the amount of net
income that will be paid to preferred shareholders in calculating net income
available to common shareholders. The cumulative preferred dividend totaled
approximately $323,000 for 2002, compared to $3,000 for four days in the fourth
quarter of 2001. The dividend on the Series B shares is $1.10 per year per
share. The total cumulative preferred dividend will increase to $500,000 for
2003 for the 454,545 shares currently outstanding.
18
Net income
Income available to common shareholders in 2002, after the cumulative
preferred dividend, was $925,000, a decrease of 51.3% compared to 2001.
Operating Partnership earnings before non-cash charges for depreciation,
amortization and extraordinary item totaled $10.7 million, a 3.2% decrease
compared to 2001. The minority interest in Operating Partnership earnings in
2002 was $300,000, a 49.7% decrease compared to 2001.
These comparisons reflect the favorable impact of lower interest rates
and the effect of discontinuing amortization of the intangible related to
management operations; offset by the effect of declines in revenues from
apartment operations, and further impacted by the effect of non-routine and
non-recurring revenues during 2001 and the cumulative preferred dividend in
2002.
Income available to common shareholders was $0.16 per share in 2002
compared to $0.33 in 2001.
2001 compared to 2000
Revenues
Total revenue in 2001 was $36.3 million, an increase of 7.1% compared
to 2000. Apartment related income (apartment rental income plus income from
apartment management and investment activities) accounted for 88.8% of our total
revenue in 2001 compared to 87.7% 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 compared to 2000. Slight increases in revenue per occupied
apartment were insufficient to overcome the impact of declines in occupancy. The
weakness in the markets was largely the result of overbuilding, compounded by
the impact of declining interest rates and a general economic slowdown.
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. Restaurant rental income during both 2001 and
2000 was the minimum rent specified in the lease agreement.
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
did not have 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. Management fee income totaled $529,000 in 2001, including $123,000
generated from new contracts during the fourth quarter. If the former Management
19
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. 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
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 one apartment community ($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 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 all contributed
to higher turnover of residents. As a result, we spent more in turnover and
redecoration, as well as leasing and promotion expense, in an effort to attract
and retain residents.
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
20
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
one apartment community ($402,000 in 2001) along with the impact of additions
and replacements at other apartment communities.
Amortization expense totaled $596,000 in 2001, essentially unchanged
from 2000. These amounts for both 2001 and 2000 include $406,000 amortization of
the intangible related to management operations.
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. The cumulative preferred dividend, for four days in
the fourth quarter of 2001, totaled $2,740.
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.

Funds from operations in 2002 (before deduction for minority interest)
totaled $10.1 million, a decrease of 6.8% compared to 2001. 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 in
2001 is primarily attributable to non-routine revenue, while operating results
for the three years were essentially flat.
Funds available for distribution totaled $8.9 million in 2002, a
decrease of 8.6% compared to 2001. Funds available for distribution totaled $9.7
million in 2001, an increase of 4.9% compared to $9.2 million in 2000. 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
22
communities. Recurring capital expenditures averaged $369 per apartment unit in
2002, $360 per apartment unit in 2001, and $311 per apartment unit in 2000.
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, 2002, all of our properties were encumbered by or
served as collateral for debt. As of December 31, 2002, total long-term debt was
$211.6 million, including $164.6 million of notes payable at fixed interest
rates ranging from 5.93% to 8.55%, and $47.0 million at variable rates indexed
on 30-day LIBOR rates. The weighted average interest rate on debt outstanding at
December 31, 2002, was 6.1%, compared to 6.2% at December 31, 2001. This
reduction is primarily due to declines in variable rates during 2002. 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
$475,000.
In December 2002, we modified and expanded our previously established
revolving line of credit with a bank secured by Latitudes Apartments. We were
able to increase this line based on the lender's estimate of the appreciated
fair market value of the property. Our line of credit arrangements are now as
follows:
o $25.9 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, 2002, the outstanding balance on this
line was $18.1 million. As of March 14, 2003, the outstanding balance on
this line was $19.7 million, with approximately $6.2 million available
under this revolving line of credit.
o $18.0 million, secured by a deed of trust and assignment of rents of 41
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 declined to $17.2 million
effective January 2003, and we retired an additional $426,000 of this debt
upon sale of a restaurant property in February 2003. At December 31, 2002,
the outstanding balance on this line was $18.0 million. As of March 14,
2003, the outstanding balance on this line was $16.7 million, the current
maximum amount.
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.
In replacing the financing on Oakbrook Apartments, we were able to
substantially increase the loan amount based on the lender's estimate of the
appreciated fair market value of the property. We applied excess proceeds of
this fixed rate loan to reduce the outstanding balance 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 2002 as follows:
23
o In September 2002, we acquired Alta Harbour Apartments for a total cost of
approximately $19.2 million. We financed this acquisition with a $15.9
million fixed-rate note payable, secured by a deed of trust on the
community, along with $2.5 million proceeds from issuance of preferred
stock and draws on our line of credit secured by Latitudes Apartments.
o In May 2002, we acquired Barrington Place Apartments and Brookford Place
Apartments for a total cost of approximately $32.2 million. We financed
these acquisitions by assuming the $20.3 million balance of a fixed-rate
deed of trust loan for Barrington Place, by issuing a $4.9 million
fixed-rate deed of trust loan for Brookford Place, by issuing Operating
Partnership units with an imputed value of approximately $1.8 million, and
draws on our line of credit secured by Latitudes Apartments.
We also utilized our line of credit secured by Latitudes 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 41
restaurants, due January 2004 ($18.0 million outstanding at
December 31, 2002);
o our line of credit secured by a deed of trust and assignment of rents of
Latitudes Apartments, due November 2004 (up to $25.9 million, $18.1 million
outstanding at December 31, 2002);
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, $10.8
million outstanding at December 31, 2002); and
o our deed of trust loan for Harris Hill Apartments, due June 2005 ($5.7
million outstanding at December 31, 2002).
Capital Stock and Operating Partnership Units
At December 31, 2002, we had approximately 5.8 million common shares
and approximately 455,000 preferred shares outstanding. In addition, there were
approximately 1.8 million Operating Partnership common units.
In late December 2001, we issued 227,273 shares of Series B Cumulative
Convertible Preferred Stock to a single investor for proceeds of $2.5 million.
In September 2002, we issued an additional 227,272 shares of this preferred
stock to the same investor for additional proceeds of $2.5 million. 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 2002, we issued approximately 78,000 shares of our common stock
through our Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan. We generally applied
these proceeds to capital expenditures at apartment communities.
All of the Operating Partnership units held by minority interest owners
were issued in 1997 through 2002 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 $10.0 million in 2002,
$10.7 million in 2001, and $10.9 million in 2000. Investing and financing
activities focused primarily on apartment acquisitions and capital expenditures
at apartment communities, along with payments of dividends and distributions.
24
We paid dividends of $0.31 per share per quarter in each quarter of
2002, 2001 and 2000. Our payout ratio (the ratio of dividends plus distributions
paid to Operating Partnership funds from operations) was 92.5% in 2002, 84.9% in
2001, and 90.5% in 2000. 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.
In January 2003, we announced we were reducing the quarterly dividend
to $0.25 per share. Our decision to reduce the dividend should not be viewed as
an indication that we are concerned about the long-term financial viability of
the company, for we clearly generate sufficient cash flow to meet the day-to-day
operating needs of the company and to pay a dividend. The question is, given
current market conditions and the outlook for the near-term future, how large
should the dividend be. While we are not philosophically opposed to paying
dividends that temporarily exceed current cash flow after operating expenses,
this would only occur when we were confident that we would see significant
improvement in operations in a relatively short period of time. In view of our
somewhat negative outlook for 2003, we came to the conclusion that prudence
required a reduction in our 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 10.5% of our revenue in 2002, 11.2% of our
revenue in 2001, and 12.3% of our revenue in 2000, 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, one additional restaurant deemed
"non-economic," for no less than net carrying value. If that were to happen, the
annual minimum rent would be reduced by approximately $96,000. We would receive
sale proceeds of the greater of net carrying value or fair value. As of December
31, 2002, the average net book value of the restaurant properties was
approximately $688,000. 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
$220 million and net equity exceeding $81 million. Its principal line of
business is the operation of approximately 320 Hardee's restaurants. In addition
to its Hardee's operations, Enterprises is the owner of Texas Steakhouse and
Saloon, a casual dining concept with 28 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 forecasts. We 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.
25
Critical Accounting Policies
Our significant accounting policies are identified and discussed in the
notes to our financial statements included in this Annual Report. Those policies
that may be of particular interest to readers of this Annual Report are further
discussed below.
Capital expenditures and depreciation
In general, 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.
For the acquisitions of Barrington Place, Brookford Place and Alta
Harbour Apartments in 2002, we performed detailed analyses of components of the
real estate assets acquired. For these properties, we assigned estimated useful
lives as follows: land improvements, 7-20 years; short-lived building
components, 5-20 years; base building structure, 60 years; and fixtures,
equipment and floor coverings, 5-10 years.
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 retire replaced assets with a charge to
depreciation for any remaining carrying value. 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.
Capital expenditures at our apartment communities during 2002 totaled
approximately $2.7 million, including $0.9 million for acquisition improvements,
$0.4 million for additions and betterments, and $1.5 million in recurring
capital expenditures.
We expense ordinary repairs and maintenance costs at apartment
communities. Repairs and maintenance at our apartment communities during 2002
totaled approximately $4.5 million, including $1.6 million in compensation of
service staff and $2.9 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.
Impairment of long-lived assets
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144,
"Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," we
periodically review our real estate assets to determine whether our carrying
amount will be recovered from their undiscounted future operating cash flows. If
the carrying value were to be greater than the undiscounted future operating
cash flows, we would recognize an impairment loss to the extent the carrying
amount is not recoverable. Our estimates of the undiscounted future operating
cash flows expected to be generated are based on a number of assumptions that
are subject to economic and market uncertainties, including, among others,
demand for apartment units, competition for tenants, changes in market rental
rates, and costs to operate each property. As these factors are difficult to
predict and are subject to future events that may alter our assumptions, the
undiscounted future operating cash flows that we estimate in our impairment
analyses may not be achieved, and it is possible that we could be required to
recognize impairment losses on our properties at some point in the future.
26
Revenue recognition
We record rental and other income monthly as it is earned. We record
rental payments that we receive prior to the first of a given month as prepaid
rent. We hold tenant security deposits in trust in bank accounts separate from
operating cash (these amounts are included in other current assets on our
balance sheet), and we record a corresponding liability for security deposits on
our balance sheet
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 April 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 145, "Rescission of FASB
Statements No. 4, 44, and 62, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical
Corrections." Statement 145 will generally require gains and losses on
extinguishments of debt to be classified as income or loss from continuing
operations, rather than as extraordinary items as previously required under
Statement 4. We plan to adopt Statement 145 effective January 1, 2003. Upon
adoption, the extraordinary items for loss on early extinguishment of debt that
we have reported in 2002 and earlier will be reclassified to conform to
Statement 145. While adoption of Statement 145 will have no impact on net
income, it will reduce income before extraordinary items and eliminate
extraordinary items as previously reported.
In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, "Guarantor's
Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect
Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others," which changes the accounting for and
disclosure of certain guarantees. Beginning with transactions entered into after
December 31, 2002, certain guarantees must be recorded at fair value, which is
different from prior practice, under which a liability was recorded only when a
loss was probable and reasonably estimable. In general, the change applies to
contracts or indemnification agreements that contingently require the company to
make payments to a guaranteed third party based on changes in an underlying
asset, liability, or an equity security of the guaranteed party. We plan to
adopt this Interpretation effective January 1, 2003, and we do not expect this
adoption to have a significant impact on our financial position or results of
operations.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
A summary of long-term debt as of December 31, 2002 and 2001 is
included in the notes to the financial statements in this Annual Report. At
December 31, 2002, total long-term debt was $211.6 million, including $164.6
million notes payable at fixed interest rates ranging from 5.93% to 8.55%, and
$47.0 million at variable rates indexed on 30-day LIBOR rates. The weighted
average interest rate on debt outstanding was 6.1% at December 31, 2002, and
6.2% at December 31, 2001. At our current level of variable-rate debt, a 1%
change in variable interest rates would increase or decrease our annual interest
expense by approximately $475,000.
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
2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 Later Total
----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- -----------
Fixed rate notes $ 865 $ 923 $6,419 $ 920 $48,804 $106,700 $164,631
Average interest rate 6.96% 6.97% 8.31% 6.75% 6.96% 6.72% 6.86%
Variable rate notes 1,075 45,879 - - - - 46,954
Average interest rate 3.24% 3.22% 3.22%
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, 2002, totaled approximately $219 million.

Statement for Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held May 28, 2003, (the
"Proxy Statement") is incorporated herein by reference for information on
directors of the company. See Item X in Part I of this Annual Report for
information regarding executive officers of the company.

The section under the heading "Election of Directors" entitled

reference.
ITEM 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND

The section under the heading "Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial
Owners and Management" of the Proxy Statement is incorporated herein by
reference.
ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
The section entitled "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions"
of the Proxy Statement is incorporated herein by reference.
ITEM 14. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to
ensure that information required to be disclosed in our annual and periodic
reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the
SEC's rules and forms. These disclosure controls and procedures are further
designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our
management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer,
to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. SEC rules require that
we disclose the conclusions of the CEO and CFO of the company about the
effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures.
The CEO/CFO evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures
included a review of the controls' objectives and design, the controls'
implementation by the company, and the effect of the controls on the information
generated for use in this Annual Report. In the course of the evaluation, we
sought to identify data errors, control problems or acts of fraud, and to
confirm that appropriate corrective action, including process improvements, was
being undertaken. Our disclosure controls and procedures are also evaluated on
an ongoing basis by:
o personnel in our finance organization;
o members of our internal disclosure committee;
o members of the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors; and
o our independent auditors in connection with their audit and review
activities.
29
Among other matters, we sought in our evaluation to determine whether
there were any "significant deficiencies" or "material weaknesses" in our
disclosure controls and procedures, or whether we had identified any acts of
fraud involving personnel who have a significant role in our disclosure controls
and procedures. In professional auditing literature, "significant deficiencies"
are referred to as "reportable conditions," which are control issues that could
have a significant adverse effect on our ability to record, process, summarize
and report financial data in the financial statements. A "material weakness" is
defined in the auditing literature as a particularly serious reportable
condition where internal controls do not reduce to a relatively low level the
risk that misstatements caused by error or fraud may occur in amounts that would
be material in relation to the financial statements and not be detected within a
timely period by employees in the normal course of performing their assigned
functions.
Our management, including our CEO and CFO, does not expect that our
disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all error and all fraud. A
control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only
reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system
are met. Further, the design of disclosures controls and procedures must reflect
the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must
be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in
all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance
that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the company have
been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments
in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of
simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the
individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by
management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is
based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events,
and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its
stated goals under all potential future conditions. Because of the inherent
limitation in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or
fraud could occur and not be detected.
Based on our most recent evaluation, which was completed within 90 days
prior to the filing of this Annual Report, our CEO and CFO believe that our
disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that material
information relating to us and our consolidated subsidiaries is made known to
management, including the CEO and CFO, particularly during the period when our
periodic reports are being prepared, and that our disclosure controls and
procedures are effective to provide reasonable assurance that our financial
statements are fairly presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
Since the date of this most recent evaluation, there have been no
significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could
significantly affect the internal controls subsequent to the date we completed
our evaluation.

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, 2002 and 2001, and the related consolidated
statements of income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended December 31, 2002. Our audits also included the
financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15(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, 2002 and 2001, and the consolidated results of
its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 2002, 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.
In 2002, as discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the
Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets".

BNP RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES, INC.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2002
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. As of
December 31, 2002, we managed 32 multi-family communities containing 7,392
units. Of these, we own 18 apartment communities, containing 4,427 units (see
Note 11). Third parties own the remaining 14 communities, containing 2,965
units, and we manage them on a contract basis. In addition to our apartment
communities, at December 31, 2002, we owned 42 properties that we lease to a
third party under a master lease on a triple-net lease basis (see Notes 5, 7 and
11). 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"). 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. 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.
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 76% of the ownership units of the Operating
Partnership. We refer to the limited partners of the Operating Partnership as
minority common 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 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.
41
Real Estate Investments
Real estate investments are stated at the lower of cost, less accumulated
depreciation, or fair value. In general, for acquired 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. For the acquisitions of Barrington, Brookford, and Alta Harbour in
2002, we performed detailed analyses of components of the real estate assets
acquired. For these properties, we assigned estimated useful lives as follows:
land improvements, 7-20 years; short-lived building components, 5-20 years; base
building structure, 60 years; and fixtures, equipment and floor coverings, 5-10
years.
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. 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, 2002 and 2001, 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 adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and
Other Intangible Assets, effective January 1, 2002. Under the new rules,
goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives are no longer
amortized after December 31, 2001, but are subject to annual impairment tests in
accordance with the Statement. We determined that the intangible related to our
1994 acquisition of management operations, net of accumulated amortization, as
of January 1, 2002, and again as of October 1, 2002, is not impaired. We plan to
perform future annual tests as of October 1 of each year.
The following table reflects the effect of the amortization of the intangible
related to our acquisition of management operations on the results of operations
as though we had adopted FAS 142 on January 1, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

Accumulated amortization on this asset was approximately $2.6 million at
December 31, 2002 and 2001.
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, reflected as an
extraordinary charge for loss on early extinguishment of debt. Accumulated
amortization on these assets was $699,000 at December 31, 2002, and $580,000 at
December 31, 2001. As of December 31, 2002, we estimate future amortization of
deferred financing costs will be approximately as follows: 2003, $300,000; 2004,
$220,000; 2005, $150,000; 2006, $140,000; 2007, $140,000; 2008 and thereafter,
$270,000.
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, 2002, the aggregate fair value of our deed of trust and other
notes payable was approximately $219 million. At December 31, 2001, the fair
value of our deed of trust and other notes payable approximated the carrying
value.
43
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 intangible asset related to acquisition of management operations
reflects our assessment of the continuing value 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 $306,000 at December 31, 2002, and
$192,000 at December 31, 2001; 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
$419,000 in 2002, $342,000 in 2001, and $296,000 in 2000.
Stock-Based Compensation
The company has one employee Stock Option and Incentive Plan in place, which is
described more fully in Note 4. We account for this plan using the intrinsic
value method, under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion
No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related Interpretations.
No stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in net income, as all
options granted under this plan had an exercise price equal to the market value
of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. If we had applied the fair
value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation, to stock-based employee compensation, the effect would
have been to reduce net income as reported by approximately $5,000 in 2002,
$10,000 in 2001, and $14,000 in 2000, with no impact on basic and diluted
earnings per share amounts as reported.
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 2002, 2001, or 2000, other than net
income as reported.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
We adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 144, Accounting
for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, effective January 2002.
This Statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment
or disposal of long-lived assets and supersedes Statement No. 121 and the
reporting provisions of APB Opinion No. 30. This adoption had no impact on our
results of operations or financial position.
In April 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 145, "Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4,
44, and 62, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections."
Statement 145 will generally require gains and losses on extinguishments of debt
to be classified as income or loss from continuing operations, rather than as
extraordinary items as previously required under Statement 4. We plan to adopt
Statement 145 effective
44
January 1, 2003. Upon adoption, the extraordinary items for loss on early
extinguishment of debt that we have reported in 2002 and earlier will be
reclassified to conform to Statement 145. While adoption of Statement 145 will
have no impact on net income, it will reduce income before extraordinary items
and eliminate extraordinary items as previously reported.
In December 2002, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure,"
which amends FAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," to provide
alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based
method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, the
statement amends the disclosure requirements of Statement No. 123 to require
prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the
method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the
method used on reported results. The standard is effective for financial
statements issued for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002. We plan to
continue to use the intrinsic value method to account for stock-based employee
compensation. We have disclosed under the caption "Stock-Based Compensation"
above in this footnote the amount of expense, which is immaterial, that would
have been recorded if we had applied the fair value method.
In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, "Guarantor's Accounting
and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of
Indebtedness of Others," which changes the accounting for, and disclosure of
certain guarantees. Beginning with transactions entered into after December 31,
2002, certain guarantees must be recorded at fair value, which is different from
prior practice, under which a liability was recorded only when a loss was
probable and reasonably estimable. In general, the change applies to contracts
or indemnification agreements that contingently require the company to make
payments to a guaranteed third party based on changes in an underlying asset,
liability, or an equity security of the guaranteed party. We expect to adopt
this Interpretation effective January 1, 2003, 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 2001 and 2000 financial statements have been reclassified
to conform to the 2002 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:
45
2002 acquisitions:
o Alta Harbour Apartments acquired effective September 18, 2002, for a total
cost of approximately $19.2 million, paid in cash.
o Barrington Place Apartments and Brookford Place Apartments acquired
effective May 31, 2002, for a total cost of approximately $32.2 million,
including assumption of a deed of trust loan with a balance of
approximately $20.3 million, assumption and retirement of existing
liabilities of the former owners totaling approximately $10.0 million, and
issuance of Operating Partnership units with an imputed value of
approximately $1.8 million.
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.
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 addition,
in September 2002, we purchased 5.4 acres of land adjacent to Paces Commons
Apartments for a cost of approximately $18,000.
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. 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.
The following unaudited pro forma summary information for 2002 is presented as
if we had acquired Alta Harbour, Barrington Place, and Brookford Place effective
January 1, 2002. The unaudited pro forma summary information for 2001 is
presented as if we had acquired Alta Harbour and Barrington Place effective
January 1, 2001. We have not included Brookford Place in the pro forma
information for 2001 because this community did not reach stabilized status
until January 2002; an apartment community is considered stabilized when
construction of all buildings has been completed and the community has attained
90% occupancy for 90 days. These pro forma amounts may not represent how we
would have performed if these acquisitions had really occurred on January 1 of
the respective years shown. In addition, they do not purport to project our
results of operations for any future period.

assignment of rents of Alta Harbour Apartments. This loan provides for interest
at 5.85% and monthly payments including principal and interest of approximately
$94,000, with maturity in September 2012. We paid and recorded deferred loan
costs of approximately $150,000 related to this loan.
In conjunction with the acquisition of Barrington Place Apartments and Brookford
Place Apartments in May 2002, we assumed a first deed of trust loan secured by
the assets and assignment of rents of Barrington Place Apartments with a balance
of approximately $20.3 million. This loan provides for interest at an effective
rate of approximately 7.0% and monthly payments including principal and interest
of approximately $136,000, with maturity in November 2010. We paid and recorded
deferred loan costs of approximately $160,000 related to this loan assumption.
In June 2002, we applied $4.9 million proceeds from a fixed-rate loan to retire
existing loan obligations of the former owners of Barrington Place Apartments
and Brookford Place Apartments. A deed of trust and assignment of rents of
Brookford Place Apartments secure this loan. This loan provides for interest at
an effective rate of approximately 7.1% and monthly payments including principal
and interest of approximately $32,000, with maturity in August 2012. We paid and
recorded deferred loan costs of approximately $60,000 related to this loan
transaction.
In January 2002, we applied a $6.0 million draw on our line of credit secured by
Latitudes Apartments to retire a note payable in the amount of $6.1 million,
secured by a deed of trust and assignment of rents of Oakbrook Apartments. In
February 2002, we subsequently issued a note payable in the amount of $7.9
million secured by a deed of trust and assignment of rents of Oakbrook
Apartments. The note provides for interest at an effective rate of approximately
7.1% and monthly payments including principal and interest of approximately
$52,000, with maturity in February 2012. We applied the proceeds of the Oakbrook
note to reduce our Latitudes line of credit. In conjunction with the February
refinance transaction, we paid and recorded deferred loan costs of approximately
$90,000.
In conjunction with the January retirement, we wrote off unamortized loan costs
of approximately $95,000. We have reflected this write-off, net of minority
interests' share, in the financial statements as an extraordinary item.
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 an effective rate of 6.96%. Interest-only payments of approximately
$97,000 were 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. During 2001 and 2002, we drew an additional $1.1 million on this loan
to fund renovations to the apartment community. The note is payable at maturity
in December 2004, and provides for monthly interest payments through December
2002, then monthly principal and interest payments of approximately $51,000
beginning January 2003, with interest on the outstanding balance at 30-day LIBOR
plus 1.85%. 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 with interest at
8.5% and mortgage insurance with a premium of 0.5% of the loan balance. The
interest rate on this loan exceeded current market rates at the time of the
48
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.
We modified the revolving lines of credit with a bank in December 2002 to
increase the maximum balance available under the Latitudes line of credit from
$23.0 million to $25.9 million. In conjunction with this modification, we paid
and recorded $30,000 in deferred loan costs in January 2003.
Interest payments totaled $11.5 million in 2002, $11.3 million in 2001, and
$11.3 million in 2000.
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.
As of December 31, 2002, scheduled principal payments were approximately as
follows: 2003, $1.9 million; 2004, $46.8 million; 2005, $6.4 million; 2006, $.9
million; 2007, $48.8 million; 2008 and thereafter, $106.8 million.
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. We issued 227,273 shares in December 2001 and 227,272 shares
in September 2002 to a single investor, for total proceeds of $5.0 million. 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
77,607 shares in 2002, 37,923 shares in 2001, and 29,020 shares in 1999 through
the Plan.
Redemption of Operating Partnership Units
During 2002, we redeemed 8,597 Operating Partnership units from two former
minority unitholders by issuing shares of the company's common stock on a
one-for-one basis.

from the calculation of diluted earnings per share for 2002 and 2001. We did not
include any of the options outstanding during 2000 in the calculation of diluted
earnings per share. 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, 2002.

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
51
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. Assuming renewal of 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. We sold one restaurant in April
2001, and one restaurant in June 2000, to Enterprises, the lessee, under the
non-economic clause of the restaurant master lease. We previously sold three
restaurants in June 1999 to Enterprises under this clause. In February 2003, we
sold one additional restaurant to Enterprises under this clause (see Note 11).
After the February 2003 sale, under the terms of this clause, the lessee may
close one additional restaurant and buy it back for no less than net carrying
value.
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 2002, 2001, and 2000. We expect annual minimum rent will be
approximately $3.9 million in years 2003 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) 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 $286.9 million and accumulated depreciation of $65.6 million as of December
31, 2002.

================= ================= =================
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 the dividends paid deduction taken by the company (the portion of
dividends paid that are taxable as ordinary income to shareholders) on its tax
returns to cash dividends paid.

We paid dividend distributions totaling $1.24 per share to common shareholders
each year during 2002, 2001, and 2000. 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 10.5% of our revenue in 2002
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.
53
Certain current and former directors of the company were the sole shareholders
and directors of BT Venture Corporation, which we acquired in 1994.
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.
During 2002 we issued 146,964 units to acquire Barrington Place Apartments and
Brookford Place Apartments from the Chrysson Parties. Brookford Place Apartments
was the last of seven properties to be acquired under our 1997 agreement with
this group.
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, 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 $60,000 in 2002, $85,000 in
2001, and $103,000 in 2000. In addition, we received guarantee fees of $12,000
in 2002, $37,500 in 2001, and $37,500 in 2000. We received $383,000 of the fixed
portion during 2001 and 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, we have reflected the
principal portion of notes receivable from The Villages of Chapel Hill Limited
Partnership as follows:
2002 2001
Advances receivable, due February 2004 $100,000 $100,000

In 1996 through 1999, we made loans totaling $180,000 to certain officers of the
company. These loans are included in our balance sheets in other current assets.
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 $59,000 in 2002, $68,000 in
2001, and $48,000 in 2000.

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 $169,000 in 2002 and $166,000 in 2001. The lease
provides for monthly rental of approximately $14,000 and expires April 2003.
We have agreements with four 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.

Note 11. Subsequent Events
The Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly dividend of $0.25 per share
on January 23, 2003, payable on February 17, 2003, to shareholders of record on
February 3, 2003. The Board of Directors also authorized the payment of
dividends totaling $125,000 to the Series B Preferred shareholder.
In February 2003, we sold one restaurant property to the lessee for its net
carrying value of approximately $588,000. We applied approximately $426,000 of
the proceeds from this sale to reduce our line of credit that is secured by the
restaurant properties.
In March 2003, we acquired The Place Apartments, a community containing 144
apartment units, in Greenville, South Carolina, for a contract price of $5.6
million. We funded this acquisition by the placement of a $4.56 million first
deed of trust loan and draws on our line of credit.
