NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation
S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes
required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
statements. In management's opinion, all adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been
included. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the 2000
annual report and the notes thereto.
(2) REAL ESTATE HELD FOR SALE
Real estate properties that are currently offered for sale or are under
contract to sell have been shown separately on the consolidated balance sheets
as "real estate held for sale." Such assets are carried at the lower of current
carrying amount or fair market value less estimated selling costs and are not
depreciated while they are held for sale. At September 30, 2001, the Company had
one industrial property and one parcel of land held for sale. There can be no
assurances that such properties will be sold.
During 2001, three properties were reclassified from the category "real
estate held for sale" to the category "real estate properties." As noted above,
depreciation is not recorded for those properties while held for sale. As such,
upon the reclassification of these properties, depreciation was adjusted to
reflect the carrying amount of these properties as if they had never been
classified as "held for sale."
(3) COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
The Company applies Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No.
130 which requires the disclosure of comprehensive income. The Company's
comprehensive income includes, in addition to net income, other income
consisting of unrealized gains and losses on the Company's investment in real
estate investment trust (REIT) shares, which are recorded directly into a
separate section of stockholders' equity on the balance sheet.

===============
(4) EARNINGS PER SHARE
The Company applies SFAS No. 128 "Earnings Per Share," which requires
companies to present basic earnings per share (EPS) and diluted EPS.
Basic EPS represents the amount of earnings for the period available to
each share of common stock outstanding during the reporting period. The
Company's basic EPS is calculated by dividing net income available to common
stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.
Diluted EPS represents the amount of earnings for the period available to
each share of common stock outstanding during the reporting period and to each
share that would have been outstanding assuming the issuance of common shares
for all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the reporting
period. The Company's diluted EPS is calculated by totaling net income available
to common stockholders plus dividends on dilutive convertible preferred shares
and limited partnership (LP) distributions and dividing it by the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding plus the dilutive effect of stock
options related to outstanding employee stock options, LP units, nonvested
restricted stock and convertible preferred stock, had the options or conversions
been exercised. Reconciliation of the numerators and denominators in the basic
and diluted EPS computations is as follows:

The Series B Preferred Stock, which is convertible into common stock at a

diluted earnings per share for the periods presented due to its antidilutive
effect.
(5) BUSINESS SEGMENTS
The Company's reportable segments consist of industrial properties and an
"other" category that includes an office building. The Company's chief decision
makers use two primary measures of operating results in making decisions, such
as allocating resources: property net operating income (PNOI), defined as real
estate operating revenues less real estate operating expenses (before interest
expense and depreciation), and funds from operations (FFO), defined as net
income (loss) (computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles (GAAP)), excluding gains or losses from sales of depreciable real
estate property, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization, and
after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. The
Company believes that FFO is an appropriate measure to evaluate the Company's
performance and also uses FFO as a comparative measure to other equity real
estate investment trusts. FFO is not considered as an alternative to net income
(determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indication of the Company's financial
performance or to cash flows from operating activities (determined in accordance
with GAAP) or as a measure of the Company's liquidity, nor is it indicative of
funds available to fund the Company's cash needs, including its ability to make
distributions.The table below presents on a comparative basis for the three
months and nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000 reported PNOI by
operating segment, followed by reconciliations of PNOI to FFO and FFO to net
income.

(6) NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS
No. 141, "Business Combinations," and SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets." SFAS No. 141 requires that all business combinations
initiated after June 30, 2001 be accounted for by using the purchase method of
accounting and addresses accounting for purchased goodwill and other
intangibles. SFAS No. 142 addresses financial accounting and reporting for the
impairment of goodwill and other intangibles and is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2001. The Company had no business combinations
since June 30, 2001. At September 30, 2001, the Company had unamortized goodwill
of $1,006,000 resulting from the acquisition of Ensign Properties in 1998. The
Company periodically reviews the recoverability of goodwill for possible
impairment and will continue to do so under the new statement. In management's
opinion, no material impairment of goodwill existed at September 30, 2001. The
Company's current annual amortization of goodwill is $61,000. Upon adoption of
SFAS No. 142 in January 2002, amortization of goodwill will cease.
In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2001. SFAS No. 144 addresses financial accounting
and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. The Company's
adoption of this statement in January 2002 is expected to have little or no
effect on the Company's overall financial statements. SFAS No. 144 supersedes
SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for
Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of" and the accounting and reporting provisions
of Accounting Principals Board Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the Results of
Operations--Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and
Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions."
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FINANCIAL CONDITION
(Comments are for the balance sheet dated September 30, 2001 compared to
December 31, 2000.)
Assets of EastGroup were $677,428,000 at September 30, 2001, an increase of
$11,223,000 from December 31, 2000. Liabilities (excluding minority interests)
increased $14,272,000 to $303,388,000 and stockholders' equity decreased
$3,078,000 to $372,314,000 during the same period. Book value per common share
decreased from $16.55 at December 31, 2000 to $16.29 at September 30, 2001. The
following paragraphs explain these changes in greater detail.
Industrial properties increased $54,966,000 during the nine months ended
September 30, 2001. This increase was primarily due to the acquisition of three
industrial properties and the remaining 20% minority interest in Wiegman
Associates for a total of $13,804,000, as detailed below; the transfer of seven
properties from development with total costs of $26,007,000; the transfer of two
properties from the category "held for sale" with total costs of $13,519,000 and
capital improvements of $6,139,000 made on existing and acquired properties.
These increases were offset by the transfer of three properties to the category
"held for sale" with costs of $4,220,000.

===================
Industrial development decreased $4,287,000 during the nine months ended
September 30, 2001. This decrease resulted from development properties
transferred to industrial properties with costs of $26,007,000, offset by
year-to-date development costs of $21,720,000 on existing and completed
development properties, as detailed below.

(1) The information provided above includes forward-looking data based on
current construction schedules, the status of lease negotiations with
potential tenants and other relevant factors currently available to the
Company. There can be no assurance that any of these factors will not
change or that any change will not affect the accuracy of such
forward-looking data. Among the factors that could affect the accuracy of
the forward-looking statements are weather or other natural occurrence,
default or other failure of performance by contractors, increases in the
price of construction materials or the unavailability of such materials,
failure to obtain necessary permits or approvals from government entities,
changes in local and/or national economic conditions, increased competition
for tenants or other occurrences that could depress rental rates, and other
factors not within the control of the Company.
Other real estate properties increased by $7,069,000 as a result of the
transfer of an office building from the category "held for sale."
Real estate held for sale decreased $24,523,000 primarily due to the
transfer of three properties from held for sale to real estate properties with
total costs of $20,588,000 and the sale of four properties with total costs of
$8,193,000. (Several of the properties classified as held for sale were
transferred back to the portfolio as a result of a change in plans by the
Company due to market conditions.) These decreases were offset by the transfer
of three properties from the portfolio to real estate held for sale with total
costs of $4,220,000.
Accumulated depreciation on real estate properties and real estate held for
sale increased $15,741,000 due to depreciation expense of $17,853,000, offset by
the sale of three properties with total accumulated depreciation of $2,112,000.
Mortgage loans receivable decreased $4,065,000 during the first nine months
of 2001 as a result of repayments of $4,991,000 that included the payoff of the
World Houston 10 loan, offset by advances of $926,000.
Investments in real estate investment trusts (REITs) decreased from
$8,068,000 at December 31, 2000 to $6,437,000 at September 30, 2001 as a result
of the sale and liquidation of REIT shares with a carrying value of $7,444,000
offset by the purchase of other REIT shares for $5,258,000 and unrealized gains
of $555,000.
Other assets increased $230,000 during the nine months ended September 30,
2001 compared to December 31, 2000 primarily as a result of net increases in
receivables, unamortized leasing commissions and loan costs, and other prepaid
assets. These increases were primarily offset by a net decrease in cash escrows
for Section 1031 tax deferred exchange transactions.
Mortgage notes payable increased $37,572,000 during the nine months ended
September 30, 2001 primarily as a result of the Company's new $45,000,000
nonrecourse mortgage loan obtained in April. This note has an interest rate of
7.25%, a 25-year amortization and a 10-year maturity and is secured by eight
properties in Dallas, Houston and El Paso. The proceeds of this note were used
to pay down existing bank debt. This increase was offset by the payoff of the
Northwest Point mortgage loan of $3,829,000 in March, regularly scheduled
principal payments of $3,221,000 and the assumption of bonds payable of $378,000
by the buyer of Nobel Business Center.
Notes payable to banks decreased $26,677,000. Bank debt was paid down with
funds from the Company's new $45 million nonrecourse mortgage loan as discussed
above. The Company's credit facilities are described in greater detail under
Liquidity and Capital Resources.
Other liabilities increased $2,943,000 during the nine months ended
September 30, 2001 compared to December 31, 2000. As part of the final
accounting of an external escrow account established for the redemption of
shares in the Company's 1998 acquisition of Meridian Point Realty Trust VIII,
the Company received the residual cash escrow of $2,701,000 from the external
agent and recorded a liability for the remaining unexchanged shares.
Accumulated other comprehensive income decreased $1,925,000 as a result of
unrealized holding gains of $555,000 recorded in accordance with SFAS No. 115,
"Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," offset by
realized gains of $2,480,000 on REIT shares.
Undistributed earnings decreased from $28,185,000 at December 31, 2000 to
$25,742,000 at September 30, 2001 as a result of dividends on common and
preferred stock of $28,997,000 exceeding net income for financial reporting
purposes of $26,554,000.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(Comments are for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2001
compared to the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2000.)
Net income available to common stockholders for the three months and nine
months ended September 30, 2001 was $6,073,000 ($.39 per basic share and $.38
per diluted share) and $19,048,000 ($1.21 per basic share and $1.19 per diluted
share), compared to net income available to common stockholders for the three
months and nine months ended September 30, 2000 of $4,526,000 ($.29 per basic
and diluted share) and $13,502,000 ($.86 per basic and diluted share). Income
before gain (loss) on real estate investments was $8,610,000 and $23,134,000 for
the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2001, compared to
$6,934,000 and $20,293,000 for the three months and nine months ended September
30, 2000. Gain (loss) on real estate investments was ($35,000) and $3,420,000
for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2001, compared to
$94,000 and $715,000 for the three months and nine months ended September 30,
2000. The paragraphs that follow describe the results of operations in greater
detail.
Property net operating income (PNOI) from real estate properties, defined
as income from real estate operations less property operating expenses (before
interest expense and depreciation), increased by $744,000 or 4.0% for the three
months ended September 30, 2001 compared to the three months ended September 30,
2000. For the nine months ended September 30, 2001, PNOI increased by $3,438,000
or 6.5% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2000. PNOI by property
type and percentage leased for industrial were as follows:

PNOI from industrial properties increased $1,136,000 (6.4%) and $4,529,000
(8.9%) for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2001, compared
to September 30, 2000, primarily due to acquisitions, rental rate increases and
development properties that achieved stabilized operations in 2001 and 2000.
PNOI from industrial properties held throughout the three months and nine months
ended September 30, 2001 increased 2.0% and decreased 1.1% compared to the same
periods in 2000. While both the three months and nine months ended September 30,
2001 included greater than normal vacancies, the three-month period ended
September 30, 2001 included increased lease termination fees of $635,000
compared to the same period in 2000.
PNOI from other properties decreased $392,000 and $1,091,000 for the three
months and nine months ended September 30, 2001 compared to September 30, 2000.
These decreases were primarily the result of the sale of the La Vista Crossing
Apartments in December 2000.
Other interest income increased $430,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2001 compared to September 30, 2000. This increase was primarily
the result of interest received from the final accounting of an escrow account
established for the redemption of shares in the Company's 1998 acquisition of
Meridian Point Realty Trust VIII.
Gain on the sale and liquidation of REIT securities was $1,774,000 for the
three months and $2,480,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001
compared to zero for the three months and $555,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2000.
Bank interest expense (excluding amortization of loan costs) decreased
$1,361,000 from $2,301,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2000 to
$940,000 for the same three months in 2001. Bank interest expense (excluding
amortization of loan costs) decreased $2,213,000 from $6,246,000 for the nine
months ended September 30, 2000 to $4,033,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2001. Amortization of loan costs was $66,000 and $198,000 for both
the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000. Average bank
borrowings were $72,297,000 and $85,296,000 for the three months and nine months
ended September 30, 2001 compared to $117,958,000 and $107,590,000 for the same
periods of 2000. Average bank interest rates were 5.20% and 6.30% for the three
months and nine months ended September 30, 2001 compared to 7.80% and 7.74% for
the same periods of 2000. Interest costs incurred during the period of
construction of real estate properties are capitalized and offset against the
bank interest expense. The interest costs capitalized on real estate properties
for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2001 were $524,000 and
$1,808,000 compared to $465,000 and $1,497,000 for the three months and nine
months ended September 30, 2000.
Interest expense on real estate properties (excluding amortization of loan
costs) increased $1,034,000 from $2,891,000 for the three months ended September
30, 2000 to $3,925,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2001. Interest
expense (excluding amortization of loan costs) increased $2,527,000 from
$8,504,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 to $11,031,000 for the
nine months ended September 30, 2001. Amortization of loan costs was $51,000 and
$136,000 for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2001 and
$37,000 and $98,000 for the three months and nine months ended September 30,
2000. These increases were primarily the result of the issuance of two mortgage
loans in 2000 and one mortgage loan in 2001, offset by the payoff of several
smaller loans in 2000 and 2001.
Depreciation and amortization increased $1,091,000 and $2,571,000 for the
three months and nine months ended September 30, 2001 compared to 2000. This
increase was primarily due to the industrial properties acquired and development
properties that achieved stabilized operations in both 2000 and 2001 and to
write-off of leasing commissions for lease buyouts. These increases were offset
by the sales of several properties in 2000 and 2001 and the transfer of several
properties to real estate held for sale (depreciation not taken on those
properties in the category "real estate held for sale").
A summary of gains (losses) on real estate investments for the nine months

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Net cash provided by operating activities was $42,525,000 for the nine
months ended September 30, 2001. Other sources of cash were primarily from bank
borrowings, proceeds from mortgage notes payable, sales of real estate
investments, sales and liquidation of real estate investment trust shares and
collections on mortgage loans receivable. The Company distributed $21,193,000 in
common and $7,506,000 in preferred stock dividends. Other primary uses of cash
were for bank debt payments, construction and development of properties,
purchases of real estate investments, mortgage note payments, purchase of REIT
shares, capital improvements at the various properties and advances on mortgage
loans receivable. Total debt at September 30, 2001 and 2000 was as follows:

The Company has a three-year $150,000,000 unsecured revolving credit
facility with a group of ten banks that matures in January 2002. The interest
rate is based on the Eurodollar rate plus 1.25% and was 4.75% on $67,000,000 at
September 30, 2001. An unused facility fee of .25% is also assessed on this
note.
The Company has a one-year $10,000,000 unsecured revolving credit facility
with Chase Bank of Texas that matures in January 2002. The interest rate is
based on Chase Bank of Texas, National Association's prime rate less .75% and
was 5.25% on $1,023,000 at September 30, 2001.
The Company has a $15,000,000 unsecured discretionary line of credit with
Chase Bank of Texas. The interest rate and maturity date for each loan proceeds
are negotiated at the time of any advances. At September 30, 2001, the rate for
this loan was 4.25% on a balance of $7,300,000, payable on demand.
The foregoing three credit facilities mature in January 2002. The Company
is negotiating new credit facilities with similar rates and terms and expects to
complete the negotiations in January 2002.
EastGroup's Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase of up to
1,500,000 shares of its outstanding common stock. The shares may be purchased
from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions.
The Company did not repurchase any shares during the nine months ended September
30, 2001. Since September 30, 1998, a total of 827,700 shares have been
repurchased for $14,170,000 (an average of $17.12 per share) with 672,300 shares
still available for repurchase.
In June 2000, Pacific Gulf Properties announced that it entered into an
agreement to sell all of its industrial properties and to market its
multi-family assets with the disposition of its senior housing assets to be
determined at a future date. EastGroup owns 487,100 shares of PAG with an
estimated fair value of $1,071,000 at September 30, 2001. In December 2000, upon
receipt of the initial liquidating distribution of $22.00 per PAG share, the
Company reduced its basis in PAG shares to zero and recorded a gain of $807,000.
The Company received additional liquidating distributions of $1.15 per PAG share
in the second quarter of 2001 and $3.125 per PAG share in the third quarter.
Additional gains of $560,000 were recorded in the second quarter and $1,522,000
in the third quarter. PAG announced that its shareholders may receive up to an
additional $2.20 per share as part of its final liquidation.
The Company anticipates that its current cash balance, operating cash
flows, and borrowings under its lines of credit will be adequate for the
Company's (i) operating and administrative expenses, (ii) normal repair and
maintenance expenses at its properties, (iii) debt service obligations, (iv)
distributions to stockholders, (v) capital improvements, (vi) purchases of
properties, (vii) development, and (viii) common stock repurchases.
INFLATION
In the last five years, inflation has not had a significant impact on
the Company because of the relatively low inflation rate in the Company's
geographic areas of operation. Most of the leases require the tenants to pay
their pro rata share of operating expenses, including common area maintenance,
real estate taxes and insurance, thereby reducing the Company's exposure to
increases in operating expenses resulting from inflation. In addition, the
Company's leases typically have three to five year terms, which may enable the
Company to replace existing leases with new leases at a higher base if rents on
the existing leases are below the then-existing market rate.
Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
The Company is exposed to interest rate changes primarily as a result of
its lines of credit and long-term debt maturities. This debt is used to maintain
liquidity and fund capital expenditures and expansion of the Company's real
estate investment portfolio and operations. The Company's interest rate risk
management objective is to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings
and cash flows and to lower its overall borrowing costs. To achieve its
objectives, the Company borrows at fixed rates but also has several variable
rate bank lines as discussed under Liquidity and Capital Resources. The table
below presents the principal payments due and weighted average interest rates
for both the fixed rate and variable rate debt.
Oct-Dec Fair
2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 Thereafter Total Value
----------- ---------- ------- -------- --------- ------------ ---------- -----------
Fixed rate debt (in thousands) $ 1,248 13,126 8,975 9,775 23,596 149,561 206,281 217,413
Weighted average interest rate 7.74% 7.57% 8.23% 8.12% 8.06% 7.48% 7.61%
Variable rate debt (in thousands) $ 7,300 68,023 - - - - 75,323 75,323
Weighted average interest rate 4.25% 4.76% - - - - 4.71%
As the table above incorporates only those exposures that exist as of
September 30, 2001, it does not consider those exposures or positions that could
arise after that date. The Company's ultimate economic impact with respect to
interest rate fluctuations will depend on the exposures that arise during the
period and interest rates. If the weighted average interest rate on the variable
rate bank debt as shown above changes by 10% or approximately 47 basis points,
interest expense and cash flows would increase or decrease by approximately
$354,000 annually.
