NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
JUNE 30, 2000
NOTE A -- BASIS OF PRESENTATION
As of June 30, 2000, the Company's real estate portfolio included interest in
sixteen shopping centers and fourteen apartment communities. The Company holds,
directly or indirectly through both wholly owned subsidiaries and majority owned
entities, a fee interest in twenty-eight of its properties, and long-term ground
leases on the remaining two properties - Southwood Shopping Center in Gretna,
Louisiana and the Westland Shopping Center in Kenner, Louisiana. Sixteen
properties are held through partnerships and limited partnerships whereby the
majority owner is a wholly owned subsidiary of Sizeler Property Investors, Inc.
The minority interests in these entities are held by third party corporations
who have contributed capital for their respective interests. The other fourteen
properties in the portfolio are held through wholly owned subsidiary
corporations and limited liability companies. The Company, the wholly owned
subsidiaries and majority owned partnerships and limited partnerships are
referred to collectively as the "Company".
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) for interim
financial information and with instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Furthermore, the
preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the
consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could
materially differ from those estimates.
Operating results for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2000,
are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ending December 31, 2000. The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 1999,
has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that
date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP
for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the
consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Sizeler
Property Investors, Inc. Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 1999.
NOTE B -- RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain reclassifications have been made in the 1999 Consolidated Financial
Statements to conform with the 2000 financial statement presentation.
NOTE C -- MORTGAGE NOTES PAYABLE
The Company's mortgage notes payable are secured, on a non-recourse basis, by
certain land, buildings and improvements. At June 30, 2000, mortgage notes
payable totalled approximately $110.1 million. Individual notes ranged from
$2.9 million to $20.8 million, with fixed rates of interest ranging from 6.85%
to 8.63% and maturity dates ranging from September 30, 2001, to January 1, 2013.
Net book values of properties securing these mortgage notes payable totalled
approximately $136.9 million at June 30, 2000, with individual property net book
values ranging from $3.7 million to $31.0 million.
In the second quarter, the Company completed additional long-term, non-recourse,
fixed interest rate mortgage financing. Proceeds from the financing totalled
approximately $26.4 million and were used to pay down floating rate, bank debt.
6
NOTE D - SEGMENT DISCLOSURE
The Company is engaged in two operating segments, the ownership and rental of
retail shopping center properties and apartment properties. These reportable
segments offer different products or services and are managed separately as each
requires different operating strategies and management expertise. There are no
intersegment sales or transfers.
The Company assesses and measures segment operating results based on a
performance measure referred to as Net Operating Income and is based on the
operating revenues and operating expenses directly associated with the
operations of the real estate properties (excluding depreciation). Net
Operating Income is not a measure of operating results or cash flows from
operating activities as measured by GAAP, and is not necessarily indicative of
cash available to fund cash needs and should not be considered an alternative to
cash flows as a measure of liquidity.
The operating revenues, operating expenses, net operating income and real estate
investments for each of the reportable segments are summarized below for the
three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS.
COMPARISON OF THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 AND 1999
Operating revenue totalled $12.5 million, compared to $12.2 million reported for
the same period a year ago. Operating revenue for retail centers and apartments
was $6.8 million and $5.7 million, respectively. The increase in operating
revenue was due primarily to higher apartment occupancies, market sustained
rents and new retail leases, in particular the leasing of 40,000 s.f. of space
previously reported vacated by a tenant at the end of 1999. Net Operating
Income totalled $7.1 million in both 2000 and 1999, and depreciation expense
totalled $2.8 million and $2.7 million, respectively, for the same periods.
Operating expenses totalled $5.4 million in 2000, compared to $5.1 million in
1999. The increase was primarily attributable to the costs associated with
certain retail tenant financial difficulties and increased operations and
maintenance expense at the apartment properties.
7
Interest expense reflected a net increase of approximately $113,000 due to the
rising interest rate environment during the quarter. The Company reduced its
future exposure to interest rate volatility during the second quarter by
completing approximately $26 million of additional long-term, fixed rate, non-
recourse financing, and using the proceeds to reduce floating rate bank debt.
The average bank borrowings were approximately $48.3 million and $51.7 million
for the second quarter of 2000 and 1999, respectively, with an average interest
rate of 8.0% and 6.3%, respectively. At June 30, 2000, bank borrowings were
$39.4 million, compared to $52.6 million at June 30, 1999 and $64.2 million at
March 31, 2000.
COMPARISON OF THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 AND 1999
Operating revenue totalled $25.2 million, compared to $24.6 million reported for
the same period a year ago. Operating revenue for retail centers and apartments
was $13.8 million and $11.4 million, respectively. The increase in operating
revenue was due primarily to increased rental rates, higher apartment
occupancies and new retail leases, in particular the leasing of 40,000 s.f. of
space previously reported vacated by a tenant at the end of 1999. Net Operating
Income totalled $14.5 million in 2000, as compared to $14.1 million in 1999, and
depreciation expense totalled $5.5 million and $5.4 million, respectively for
the same periods. Operating expenses totalled $10.7 million in 2000, compared to
$10.5 million in 1999. The increase was primarily attributable to costs
associated with certain retail tenant financial difficulties and increased
operations and maintenance expense at the apartment properties.
Interest expense reflected a net increase of approximately $222,000 due to the
activity described below. The rising interest rate environment contributed to
increased interest costs of $393,000 associated with the Company's floating rate
bank debt. In the fourth quarter of 1999, the Company repaid a 10.875% interest
rate mortgage and repurchased $1.0 million of its convertible subordinated
debentures, largely contributing to a decrease of approximately $171,000 in
related interest expense in the first six months of 2000. The average bank
borrowings were approximately $55.6 million and $51.4 million for the first six
months of 2000 and 1999, respectively, with an average interest rate of 7.7% and
6.5%, respectively.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The primary source of working capital for the Company is net cash provided by
operating activities, from which the Company funds normal operating
requirements, debt service obligations, and distributions to shareholders. In
addition, the Company maintains unsecured credit lines with commercial banks,
which it utilizes to supplement cash provided by operating activities and to
initially finance the cost of property development and redevelopment activities,
portfolio acquisitions and other expenditures. At June 30, 2000, the Company
had $670,000 in cash and cash equivalents and $65 million in committed bank
lines, of which approximately $26 million was available. Utilization of the
bank lines is subject to certain restrictive covenants that impose maximum
borrowing levels by the Company through the maintenance of certain prescribed
financial ratios.
Net cash flows provided by operating activities decreased $1.8 million in the
second quarter of 2000 compared to the same period in 1999. The decrease was
principally attributable to a net decrease in short-term payables.
Net cash flows used in investing activities increased approximately $1.9 million
in 2000 from 1999, primarily attributable to increased development activities.
Net cash flows used by financing activities decreased by approximately $3.0
million in 2000 from 1999 due to (i) net cash proceeds of approximately $1.5
million from the issuance of mortgage notes payable, related debt issuance
costs, and the subsequent paydown of notes payable to banks; (ii) increase in
cash proceeds of approximately $857,000 from the issuance of common stock
pursuant to the direct stock purchase and stock award plans; and (iii) pursuant
to the Company's stock repurchase program initiated in 1995, the Company
repurchased 72,000 fewer shares than in 1999, at an approximate cost of
$606,000.
As of June 30, 2000, thirteen of the Company's properties were subject to a
total of $110.1 million in mortgage obligations, all of which are long-term,
non-recourse and bear fixed rates of interest for fixed terms. The remaining
seventeen properties and vacant parcels of land in the portfolio are currently
unencumbered by debt. The Company anticipates that its current cash balance,
operating cash flows, and borrowing capacity (including borrowings under its
8
lines of credit) will be adequate to fund the Company's future (i) operating and
administrative expenses, (ii) debt service obligations, (iii) distributions to
shareholders, (iv) development activities, (v) capital improvements on existing
properties, and (vi) typical repair and maintenance expenses at its properties.
The Company's current dividend policy is to pay quarterly dividends to
shareholders, based upon funds from operations, as well as other factors. As
funds from operations excludes the deduction of certain non-cash charges,
principally depreciation on real estate assets, quarterly dividends will
typically be greater than net income and may include a tax-deferred return of
capital component. The Board of Directors, on August 3, 2000, declared a cash
dividend of $0.23 per share for the period April 1, 2000 through June 30, 2000,
payable to shareholders of record as of August 25, 2000.
FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS
Real estate industry analysts and the Company utilize the concept of funds from
operations as an important analytical measure of a Real Estate Investment
Trust's financial performance. The Company considers funds from operations in
evaluating its operating results; and, its dividend policy, as previously
mentioned, is also based, in part, on the concept of funds from operations.
Funds from operations (FFO) is defined by the Company and the National
Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT) as net income, excluding
gains or losses from sales of property and those items defined as extraordinary
under GAAP, plus depreciation on real estate assets and after adjustments for
unconsolidated partnerships to reflect funds from operations on the same basis.
Funds from operations do not represent cash flows from operations as defined by
GAAP, nor is it indicative that cash flows are adequate to fund all cash needs,
including distributions to shareholders. Funds from operations should not be
considered as an alternative to net income as defined by GAAP or to cash flows
as a measure of liquidity. A reconciliation of net income to basic funds from
operations is presented below (in thousands).

EFFECTS OF INFLATION
9
Substantially all of the Company's retail leases contain provisions designed to
provide the Company with a hedge against inflation. Many of the Company's
retail leases contain provisions which enable the Company to receive percentage
rentals based on tenant sales in excess of a stated breakpoint and/or provide
for periodic increases in minimum rent during the lease term. Also, the
majority of the Company's retail leases are for terms of less than ten years,
which allows the Company to adjust rentals to changing market conditions. In
addition, most retail leases require tenants to contribute towards property
operating expenses, thereby reducing the Company's exposure to higher costs
caused by inflation. Apartment leases are written for short terms, generally
six to twelve months.
FUTURE RESULTS
This Form 10-Q and other documents prepared and statements made by the Company,
may contain certain forward-looking statements that are subject to risk and
uncertainty. Investors and potential investors in the Company's securities are
cautioned that a number of factors could adversely affect the Company and cause
actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking
statements, including, but not limited to (a) the inability to lease current or
future vacant space in the Company's properties; (b) decisions by tenants and
anchor tenants who own their space to close stores at the Company's properties;
(c) the inability of tenants to pay rent and other expenses; (d) tenant
financial difficulties; (e) decreases in rental rates available from tenants;
(f) increases in operating costs at the Company's properties; (g) lack of
availability of financing for acquisition, development and rehabilitation of
properties by the Company; (h) possible dispositions of mature properties since
the Company is continuously engaged in the examination of its various lines of
business; (i) increases in interest rates; (j) a general economic downturn
resulting in lower retail sales and causing downward pressure on occupancies and
rents at retail properties; as well as (k) the adverse tax consequences if the
Company were to fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year.
