Approximately 82% of the Company's outstanding shares are held by CEDE & Co., which is accounted for as a single shareholder of record for multiple beneficial owners. CEDE & Co. is a nominee of the Depository Trust Company ("DTC"), under which securities deposited by participants with DTC, e.g., mutual funds, brokerage firms, banks, and other financial organizations are registered. 4 The Company has paid dividends in each quarter since its inception as a publicly-owned company in 1987, with a cumulative total of approximately $46 million paid to shareholders over this time period. On August 1, 1994, the Board of Directors approved an increase in its cash dividend to an indicated annual rate of $1.12 per share. Cash dividends paid to shareholders in 1994 amounted to 85.2% of 1994 funds from operations, computed on the basis of primary shares outstanding. Under the REIT rules of the Internal Revenue Code, the Company must pay at least 95% of its ordinary taxable income as dividends in order to avoid taxation as a regular corporation. The declaration of dividends is a discretionary decision of the Board of Directors and depends upon the Company's distributable funds, financial requirements, tax considerations, and other factors. A portion of the Company's dividends paid may be deemed either capital gain income or a return of capital, or both, to its shareholders. The Company annually provides its shareholders a statement as to its designation of the taxability of the dividends paid. The federal income tax status of dividends per share paid for the five years ended December 31 was as follows: 1994 1993 1992 1991 1990 ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- Ordinary Income................................... $0.72 $0.59 $0.53 $0.64 $0.54 Return of Capital................................. 0.38 0.43 0.46 0.34 0.66 Capital Gain ..................................... -- 0.03 0.02 0.02 0.36 ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- Total........................................... $1.10 $1.05 $1.01 $1.00 $1.56 ===== ===== ===== ===== ===== The Company has a dividend reinvestment plan pursuant to which the Company's shareholders of record may use their dividends to purchase additional shares. The Company acquires shares for the plan by open market purchases. Brokerage commissions on all such purchases are paid by the Company and are not charged to plan participants. 5 ITEM 6.

(2) Funds from operations is defined by the Company as net income, excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property and other non-operating extraordinary items, plus depreciation, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships to reflect funds from operations on the same basis. (See Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows of the consolidated financial statements and notes, thereto included herein.) Funds from operations does not represent cash flows from operations as defined by generally accepted accounting principles, nor is it indicative that cash flows are adequate to fund all cash needs. Funds from operations is not to be considered as an alternative to net income as defined by generally accepted accounting principles or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. Real estate industry analysts utilize the concept of funds from operations as an important measure of a REIT's financial performance. The Company considers funds from operation in evaluating its operating results, and its dividend policy is also based, in part, on the concept of funds from operations. (3) Gross investment is initial purchase price plus costs capitalized subsequent to acquisition. 6 ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. Overview During 1993 and 1994, the Company made eight property acquisitions, consisting of three shopping centers and five apartment communities, at a total investment of approximately $132 million (purchase price plus capitalized costs). Operating revenue and income from rental operations for these years increased as a result of these acquisitions. Funds from operations is defined by the Company as net income, excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property and other non-operating extraordinary items, plus depreciation, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships to reflect funds from operations on the same basis. Real estate industry analysts utilize the concept of funds from operations as an important measure of a REIT's financial performance. The Company's dividend policy is also based, in part, on the concept of funds from operations. The Company's real estate investment portfolio is composed of shopping center and apartment properties. It is the Company's intention to achieve a balanced portfolio of these two property types. During 1993 and 1994, the Company added to its portfolio approximately 780,000 s.f. of retail space, at a cost of $61 million, and over 1,800 apartment units, at a cost of $71 million. As of December 31, 1994, approximately 66% of the Company's real estate investment portfolio, or $185 million, consisted of shopping centers, and approximately 34%, or $95 million, consisted of apartments. The following table provides certain information with respect to income from operations of the Company's shopping center and apartment properties: YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, ----------------- 1994 1993 1992 ----- ----- ----- OPERATING REVENUES: Shopping Centers..................................... $21.3 $15.8 $13.6 Apartments........................................... 15.4 9.3 1.3 ----- ----- ----- 36.7 25.1 14.9 ----- ----- ----- OPERATING EXPENSES: Shopping Centers..................................... 10.8 8.2 6.9 Apartments........................................... 8.4 4.6 0.6 ----- ----- ----- 19.2 12.8 7.5 ----- ----- ----- INCOME FROM RENTAL OPERATIONS: Shopping Centers..................................... 10.5 7.6 6.7 Apartments........................................... 7.0 4.7 0.7 ----- ----- ----- $17.5 $12.3 $ 7.4 ===== ===== ===== 7 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Comparison of the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993. For the year ended December 31, 1994, results of oeprations reflected increases over corresponding 1993 amounts resulting primarily from the Company's acquisition of properties during 1993 and 1994, as shown below: GROSS INVESTMENT (A) (IN MILLIONS) ------------------ 1994 1993 TOTAL ----- ----- ------ Shopping Centers....................................... $34.9 $26.8 $ 61.7 Apartments............................................. 28.2 42.5 70.7 ----- ----- ------ TOTAL................................................ $63.1 $69.3 $132.4 ===== ===== ====== -------- (a) Gross investment is initial purchase price plus costs capitalized subsequent to acquisition. Operating revenue from all properties in the portfolio for the year ended December 31, 1994, compared to 1993, increased by $11.62 million (46%), due principally to newly-acquired properties and, to a lesser extent, higher rental rates on properties which were a part of the portfolio during both comparative periods. Revenue from shopping centers and apartments increased by $5.52 million and $6.10 million, respectively. Rental operating expenses of all properties increased by $6.35 million (50%); rental operating expenses of shopping centers and apartments increased $2.53 million and $3.83 million, respectively. Income from rental operations of all properties increased $5.20 million (42%); income from rental operations of shopping centers and apartments increased $2.90 million and $2.30 million, respectively. The reported increases in operating revenue, operating expenses, and income from rental operations were due principally to newly-acquired properties. Operating revenue and expenses from shopping center and apartment properties owned during both comparable periods each increased 5%, in 1994, compared to 1993. As a result, income from rental operations from these properties increased 5% over the same period a year ago. Management attributes this increase in income from rental operations to higher rental rates and higher average occupancies throughout 1994. Interest, dividend, and other income decreased $1.16 million for the year 1994, compared to 1993. This decrease is due principally to the Company fully investing, by the end of 1993, all funds derived from its May 1993 public offering in income-producing properties and debt repayments, which were partially invested in short-term, interest-bearing securities during 1993; and also due to the sale of the Company's investments in real estate companies during the first quarter of 1993. Interest expense increased $2.72 million (36%) for the year ended December 31, 1994, compared to 1993, attributable to the following: (1) an increase of $1.83 million in interest expense on the convertible subordinated debentures issued on May 13, 1993; (2) an increase of $1.91 million in interest expense on bank debt, due to higher average borrowings to fund acquisitions and capital improvements, and higher interest rates (average borrowings were approximately $32.5 million and $8.5 million, with a weighted average interest rate of 7.73% and 6.10% in 1994 and 1993, respectively). These increases in interest expense were partially offset by lower mortgage interest expense of $1.02 million, attributable to the repayment of $28.6 million of mortgage debt, and the repayment of $24.1 million of bank debt, both with the proceeds of the May 1993 public offering. General and administrative expenses increased by $188,000 (11%) in 1994, compared to 1993. The increase is primarily due to increased costs incurred in connection with the evaluation of potential acquisitions, higher payroll costs, professional fees, and other administrative costs associated with the Company's increased portfolio size and capital structure. 8 The comparison of net income between 1994 and 1993 was additionally affected by the recognition of: (1) $1.6 million of costs associated with the early extinguishment of secured mortgage debt in 1993; and (2) an $8,000 gain on the sale of the Company's available-for-sale investment securities in 1994, compared to $285,000 in 1993 from sale of investments in real estate companies. Comparison of the years ended December 31, 1993 and 1992. For the year ended December 31, 1993, results of operations reflected increases over corresponding 1992 amounts. The increase in operating results is primarily attributable to the Company's acquisition of properties during 1992 and 1993, as shown below: GROSS INVESTMENT (IN MILLIONS) ------------------ 1993 1992 TOTAL ----- ----- ------ Shopping Centers....................................... $24.2 $22.7 $ 46.9 Apartments............................................. 40.1 19.2 59.3 ----- ----- ------ TOTAL................................................ $64.3 $41.9 $106.2 ===== ===== ====== Operating revenue from all properties in the portfolio for the year ended December 31, 1993, compared to 1992, increased by $10.20 million (69%), due principally to newly-acquired properties and, to a lesser extent, higher rental rates on properties which were a part of the portfolio during both comparative periods. Revenue from shopping centers and apartments increased by $2.20 million and $8.00 million, respectively. Rental operating expenses of all properties increased by $5.30 million (71%); rental operating expenses of shopping centers and apartments increased $1.30 million and $4.00 million, respectively. Income from rental operations of all properties increased $4.90 million (66%); income from rental operations of shopping centers and apartments increased $910,000 and $4.00 million, respectively. The reported increases in operating revenue, operating expenses, and income from rental operations were due principally to newly-acquired properties. Operating revenue and expenses from shopping center and apartment properties owned during both comparable periods increased 1% and 8%, respectively, in 1993, compared to 1992. As a result, income from rental operations reflected a decrease of approximately 7%, primarily attributable to an increase in depreciation expense resulting from capital improvements at several of the Company's properties during 1993 and 1992. Interest and dividend income increased $970,000 for the year 1993, compared to 1992, due principally to the investment of funds (derived from the Company's May 1993 public offering) in short-term, interest-bearing securities during the remainder of 1993. The increase in interest income was partially offset by lower dividend income as a result of the sale of the Company's investments in real estate companies during the first quarter of 1993. Interest expense increased $3.72 million (98%) for the year ended December 31, 1993, compared to 1992, attributable to: (1) $3.20 million of interest expense on the convertible subordinated debentures issued on May 13, 1993; (2) $646,000 of interest expense on mortgage loans for the term financing of the following properties: --Camelot Plaza Shopping Center ($2.3 million principal amount at 9.0%), --Bel Air Apartments ($2.9 million principal amount at an average rate of 8.3%), --Garden Lane Apartments ($2.5 million principal amount at an average rate of 8.4%), --Pine Bend Apartments ($2.4 million principal amount at 8.25%), --Steeplechase Apartments ($2.3 million principal amount at 9.0%), --Bryn Mawr Apartments ($7.0 million principal amount at 8.25%); 9 and (3) a reduction in interest expense on bank debt of $126,000, due to lower average borrowings to fund new acquisitions, and slightly lower interest rates (average borrowings were approximately $8.5 million and $11.2 million, with a weighted average interest rate of 6.10% and 6.50%, in 1993 and 1992, respectively). The Company repaid $28.6 million of mortgage debt and $24.1 million of bank debt from the proceeds of the May 1993 public offering. General and administrative expenses increased by $549,000 (48%) in 1993, compared to 1992. The increase is principally attributable to costs incurred in connection with the evaluation of potential acquisitions and other administrative costs associated with the Company's increased portfolio size and capital structure. The comparison of net income between 1993 and 1992 was additionally affected by the recognition of: (1) $1.6 million of costs associated with early extinguishment of secured mortgage debt, (2) $610,000 of costs unrelated to real estate operations in 1992, and (3) $285,000 gain on the sale of the Company's investments in real estate companies in 1993, compared to $82,000 in 1992. 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 and distributions to shareholders. In addition, the Company maintains unsecured credit lines with commercial banks, which it utilizes to temporarily finance the cost of portfolio growth, property improvements, and other expenditures. At December 31, 1994, the Company had $1.4 million of cash and cash equivalents, and commitments for a total of $78 million of bank lines of credit, of which $25 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 prescribed debt-to-equity or other financial ratios. Net cash flows from operating activities increased $790,000 in 1994 from 1993, and $5.1 million in 1993 from 1992. These increases were primarily attributable to increases in income from rental operations, net of increases in other expenses, as discussed above. Changes in operating assets and liabilities from 1992 to 1994 were primarily attributable to the growth in the Company's investment portfolio, and from 1992 to 1993, accrued interest on the Company's convertible subordinated debentures. Net cash flows used in investing activities decreased $6.8 million in 1994 and 1993, attributable to a decrease in the addition of investment properties, offset by an increase in improvements to existing properties. In 1994, the Company acquired an apartment community and a shopping center for $39.0 million (net of $22.8 million debt assumed), and additional land adjoining three of its existing shopping centers at combined costs of $2.5 million. The increase in costs of improvements to real estate properties during 1994 was primarily attributable to renovation programs at two of the Company's shopping centers and certain existing apartment properties. In connection with the renovation of the shopping centers, the Company entered into noncancelable construction contracts with non-affiliated companies, for contract amounts totaling $5.0 million. Each contract was approximately 50% complete, on a cost basis, at December 31, 1994. Anticipated sources of funds to complete the renovation programs in progress include cash provided by operating activities and proceeds from issuance of debt, including borrowings from bank credit lines. During 1993, the Company acquired two shopping centers and four apartment properties for approximately $58 million, net of $6.9 million of debt assumed. In 1992, the Company acquired two shopping centers and five apartments properties for approximately $28 million, net of $12 million of debt assumed. Net cash flows provided by financing activities decreased $17.1 million in 1994 from 1993 and increased $35.1 million in 1993 from 1992. These changes were primarily attributable to the net effect of the refinancings and repayment of debt in connection with the Company's May 1993 public offering of 4 million shares of common stock and $65 million convertible subordinated debentures. Substantially all of the costs of investing 10 activities during 1994 was funded by borrowings from bank credit lines and the assumption of existing mortgage debt with respect to property acquired. As of December 31, 1994, eight of the Company's properties, comprising approximately 26% of its gross investment in real estate, were subject to a total of $42.1 million in mortgage debt, all of which bears a fixed rate of interest for a fixed terms. The remainder of the portfolio may be available for additional debt financing, if determined appropriate. The Company anticipates that its current cash balance, operating cash flows, and borrowings (including borrowings under its 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) capital improvements, and (v) normal repair and maintenance expenses at its properties. The Company's current dividend policy is to pay quarterly dividends to shareholders, based upon, among other factors, funds from operations, as opposed to net income. Because funds from operations excludes the deduction of non-cash charges, principally depreciation, and non-operating items, quarterly dividends will typically be greater than net income and may include a tax- deferred return of capital component. On August 1, 1994, the Company's board of directors declared an increase in the cash dividend to $.28 per share, or an indicated annual rate of $1.12 per share. On March 8, 1995, the Company paid a cash dividend with respect to the period October 1, 1994 through December 31, 1994 of $.28 per share, to shareholders of record as of February 22, 1995. FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS Funds from operations is defined by the Company as net income, excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property and other non-operating extraordinary items, plus depreciation, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships to reflect funds from operations on the same basis. Funds from operations does not represent cash flows from operations as defined by generally accepted accounting principles, nor is it indicative that cash flows are adequate to fund all cash needs. Funds from operations is not to be considered as an alternative to net income as defined by generally accepted accounting principles or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. Real estate industry analysts utilize the concept of funds from operations as an important measure of a REIT's financial performance. The Company considers funds from operations in evaluating its operating results, and its dividend policy is also based, in part, on the concept of funds from operations. For the year ended December 31, 1994, funds from operations totalled $11.51 million, an increase of $3.2 million (39%) over 1993. Funds from operations increased from $5.32 million in 1992 to $8.31 million in 1993, an increase of $2.99 million (56%) over 1992. The increases in funds from operations in 1993 and 1994 resulted primarily from the Company's acquisition of properties during 1992 through 1994. EFFECTS OF INFLATION Substantially all of the Company's retail leases contain provisions designed to provide the Company with a hedge against inflation. Most 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 to 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. 11 ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA.

AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 1994 NOTE A: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Principles of Consolidation. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Sizeler Property Investors, Inc. and its majority-owned subsidiaries and partnerships (the "Company"). All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation. Offering Expenses. In May 1993, the Company completed an offering of 4 million shares of common stock at a price of $13 per share (less $3,566,000 of underwriting and offering costs), and $65 million of 8% convertible subordinated debentures (the "debentures"), due 2003 (less $2,600,000 of underwriting costs). The debentures are convertible into common stock of the Company, based on $13.00 per share, at any time prior to maturity, unless previously redeemed. During 1994 and 1993, $77,000 and $2,045,000 of debentures were converted into 5,922 and 157,307 shares of common stock, respectively. Costs incurred in connection with public offerings of the Company's shares of common stock have been charged directly against shareholders' equity. Real Estate Investments. Real estate investments are carried at cost. Depreciation of buildings and improvements is provided by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, ranging from ten to forty years. Maintenance and repairs are expensed in the period incurred. Securities. The Company adopted the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities." As a result, investment securities have been classified as available-for-sale. In accordance with the Statement, prior period financial statements have not been restated to reflect the change in accounting principle. Available-for-sale securities are stated at fair value, with the unrealized gains and losses, net of taxes, reported as a separate component of shareholders' equity. Application of the new statement has not had a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations (see Note D). Rental Income. Rental income includes rents from shopping center and apartment properties. Minimum rents from shopping center leases are accounted for ratably over the term of the lease. Percentage rents are recognized based upon tenant sales that exceed specific levels. Tenant reimbursements are recognized as the applicable services are rendered or expenses incurred. Federal Income Taxes. The Company has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust ("REIT") under the Internal Revenue Code and intends to maintain its qualification as a REIT in the future. Accordingly, no provision for federal or state income taxes was made. A real estate investment trust is required to distribute to shareholders at least 95% of its ordinary taxable income. Taxable income differs from net income for financial reporting purposes principally because of differences in the amount and timing of depreciation of the properties. At December 31, 1994, the income tax basis, net of accumulated tax depreciation, of the Company's real estate properties was approximately $204.8 million. Earnings Per Share. Primary earnings per share are based upon weighted average number of shares outstanding. The weighted average number of shares outstanding were 8,914,054 in 1994, 7,345,991 in 1993, and 4,735,932 in 1992. Fully-diluted per share amounts are similarly computed, but include the effect, when dilutive, of the Company's common stock equivalents. The Company's outstanding debentures and options are excluded in these calculations for 1994 and 1993, due to their antidilutive effect. 19 SIZELER PROPERTY INVESTORS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED) Preferred Stock. The rights and preferences of the Company's authorized preferred stock may be fixed by the Board of Directors. NOTE B: REAL ESTATE INVESTMENTS In 1992, the Company acquired a community shopping center, a power shopping center, and five apartment properties for approximately $40,511,000. In connection with the acquisition of these properties, the Company assumed mortgage notes payable totalling $12,344,000 (see Note E). In 1993, the Company acquired a community shopping center, a power shopping center, and four apartment properties for approximately $64,333,000. In connection with the acquisition of these properties, the Company assumed mortgage notes payable totalling $6,987,000 (see Note E). In 1994, the Company acquired a regional enclosed shopping mall, an apartment property, and additional outparcels and other developable land adjacent to several retail centers owned by the Company for approximately $64,340,000. In connection with the acquisition of these properties, the Company assumed mortgage notes payable totalling $22,750,000 (see Note E). NOTE C: REAL ESTATE OPERATIONS The Company's principal business is investing in shopping centers and apartment communities located in the southern United States. Tenants in the Company's shopping centers include national, regional, and local retailers. Most of the Company's shopping center leases provide for the payment of fixed monthly rentals (minimum rents), reimbursement of common area maintenance, utilities, taxes and insurance expenses, and payment of additional rents based upon a percentage of retail sales in excess of stated minimums. The non- cancellable portions of such lease terms range from one year for smaller tenant spaces to forty years for larger tenant spaces. Management has provided a valuation allowance for doubtful accounts receivable. As of December 31, 1994, this allowance totalled $321,000, compared to $261,000 a year ago. Actual charge-offs were $74,000 in 1994 and $96,000 in 1993. Management considers the valuation allowance to be adequate. Rents and other income in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income include reimbursed expenses, comprised of the following items: YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, -------------------------------- 1994 1993 1992 ---------- ---------- ---------- Common area maintenance................. $2,238,000 $1,496,000 $1,345,000 Utility service charges................. 819,000 718,000 819,000 Real estate tax and insurance........... 1,407,000 917,000 709,000 Other tenant income..................... 800,000 476,000 120,000 Other income............................ 381,000 97,000 185,000 ---------- ---------- ---------- $5,645,000 $3,704,000 $3,178,000 ========== ========== ========== 20 SIZELER PROPERTY INVESTORS, INC.

NOTE D: INVESTMENT IN REAL ESTATE COMPANIES AND PARTNERSHIP The Company had investments in real estate companies at December 31, 1992, of $1,223,000, all of which were sold during 1993. The Company realized gains on sales of real estate investments and equity securities of $8,000, $285,000, and $82,000 in 1994, 1993, and 1992, respectively. The Company had equity securities available-for-sale of $3,800,000 and $131,000, with unrealized gains (losses) of $40,000 and ($27,000) at January 1, 1994, and December 31, 1994, respectively. Investment in real estate partnership at December 31, 1994 and 1993, is accounted for using the equity method and represents a 50% interest, in the amounts of $973,000 and $999,000, respectively, in a partnership which owns a community shopping center (see Note G). NOTE E: MORTGAGE NOTES PAYABLE During 1994, the Company assumed mortgage debt totalling $22.8 million in connection with the acquisition of a shopping mall (see Note B). During 1993, the Company paid off a total of $28.6 million in mortgage debt, using a portion of the proceeds from the May 1993 public offering. The Company incurred $1.6 million in expenses in 1993 associated with the early extinguishment of a $22 million mortgage note payable, which is included in the Consolidated Statements of Income as an extraordinary item. The Company's mortgage notes payable at December 31, 1994 and 1993, are as follows: SECURED BY LAND, BUILDINGS, AND IMPROVEMENTS, BALANCE OUTSTANDING AT WITH BOOK DECEMBER 31, PRINCIPAL INTEREST VALUE ON ----------------------- MATURITY RATE DECEMBER 31, 1994 1994 1993 --------- -------- ----------------- ----------- ----------- August 31, 1996.............. 9.750% $ 4,658,000 $ 3,514,000 $ 3,560,000 November 1, 1996............. 8.350% 34,460,000 22,750,000 -- March 1, 1997................ 9.000% 3,169,000 2,263,000 2,294,000 December 1, 1999............. 10.875% 4,640,000 3,590,000 3,616,000 December 27, 1999............ 9.000% 3,910,000 2,222,000 2,250,000 July 1, 2000................. 8.250% 10,572,000 6,915,000 6,973,000 November 10, 2000............ 9.000% 3,857,000 293,000 374,000 July 15, 2003................ 8.500% 4,308,000 592,000 637,000 ----------- ----------- ----------- $69,574,000 $42,139,000 $19,704,000 =========== =========== =========== 21 SIZELER PROPERTY INVESTORS, INC.

The weighted average interest rate was 7.73% and 6.10% for the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively. The terms of agreements for the lines of credit generally provide for the right of the banks to terminate such commitments and to accelerate all outstanding advances upon the occurrence of any material adverse change in the financial condition or operations of the Company. In addition, the bank credit agreements also contain restrictive covenants that impose maximum borrowing levels by the Company through the maintenance of prescribed debt-to-equity or other financial ratios. NOTE F: STOCK OPTION AND OWNERSHIP PLANS At December 31, 1994, the Company had a 1986 Stock Option Plan (the "1986 Plan") under which an aggregate of 350,000 shares of common stock are currently reserved for issuance upon exercise of options granted thereunder, and a 1989 Directors' Stock Option Plan (the "1989 Directors' Plan"). Under the 1986 Plan, 10-year options may be granted to key employees and are granted annually to directors at the fair market value of the Company's common stock at the date of grant. Activity under the 1986 Plan is summarized below: 1994 1993 1992 ---------------------- ---------------------- ---------------------- Outstanding at January 1...................... 296,500 $ 8.50-$17.38 201,000 $ 8.50-$17.38 262,000 $11.50 Granted............... 22,000 $12.69-$13.56 100,500 $11.75-$13.56 5,000 $ 8.50-$ 8.75 Exercised............. (10,000) $ 8.75 (5,000) $11.94 (6,000) $15.81-$16.38 Expired............... (33,000) $ 8.50-$13.75 -- (60,000) $15.81-$16.38 ------- ------- ------- Outstanding at December 31............ 275,500 $ 8.50-$17.38 296,500 $ 8.50-$17.38 201,000 $ 8.50-$17.38 ======= ======= ======= At December 31, 1994, options for 183,000 shares under the 1986 Plan were exercisable. Shares available for future grant under the 1986 Plan totalled 74,500 at December 31, 1994. In January 1995, 6,000 shares were granted to directors at a price of $12.69 under the 1986 Plan. Under the 1989 Directors' Plan, directors could elect to receive an option to acquire shares of the Company's stock instead of receiving an annual director's fee. The number of shares of the subject option is equivalent to the amount of the annual director's fee, divided by the difference between the fair market value of the shares on the date of the grant and the cash exercise price. The cash exercise price is 30% of the fair market value of the shares on the date of the grant. The effective cost (including the value of the foregone directors' fee) to exercise a 1989 Directors' Plan option, therefore, was the fair market value of the Company's stock on the date of grant. The 1989 Directors' Plan was discontinued at the end of 1993 and replaced by the 1994 Directors' Stock Ownership Plan. 22 SIZELER PROPERTY INVESTORS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED) Activity under the 1989 Directors' Plan is summarized below: 1994 1993 1992 ------------ ------------------- ----------------- Outstanding at January 1..... 1,386 $3.34 1,255 $3.29-$4.22 1,255 $3.29-$4.22 Granted.................... 2,079 $3.34 -- Exercised..................

(549) $4.22 -- ----- ------ ----- Outstanding at December 31... 693 $3.34 1,386 $3.34 1,255 $3.29-$4.22 ===== ====== ===== Upon termination of future grants under the 1989 Directors' Plan at December 31, 1993, 43,317 shares then available for future grant under that plan were no longer reserved for issuance and were returned to the status of authorized unissued and unreserved shares. The 1994 Directors' Stock Ownership Plan, effective in January 1994, provides that directors of the Company who are not salaried officers of the Company are entitled to receive an annual director's fee of 750 shares. Alternatively, a director may elect to be paid a cash substitute, equal to 90% of the value of the shares for which the director elects the cash substitute, in lieu of all or part of the annual stock award. In 1994, 4,500 shares were issued. NOTE G: RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS The Company has a contract with Sizeler Real Estate Management Co., Inc. (the "Management Company") to manage the Company's real estate properties. Certain of the Company's shareholders and an officer have an ownership interest in Sizeler Realty Co., Inc. ("Sizeler Realty"), the parent of the Management Company. The agreement is renewable annually, subject to the approval of a majority of the unaffiliated directors of the Company, and subject to the termination rights of the parties. The management agreement may be terminated for any reason by either party upon 180 days' written notice. The fee arrangement through 1992 for managing the properties was 4.5% of gross revenue (5% for apartment properties) received from the operation of the properties. The Management Company also received a leasing fee equal to 3% of the total fixed minimum rent payable for retail properties during the term of a new lease (2.5% on renewal leases). In the event the Company acquired additional investment property with the assistance of the Management Company, the Management Company was entitled to an acquisition fee equal to 1.5% of the acquisition cost of such property. In addition to the management, leasing, and acquisition fees, the Management Company was reimbursed for certain administrative expenses of the Company. On January 1, 1993, the Company restructured the management fee arrangement with the Management Company, whereby the management fee is now based on the Company's gross investment in real estate, adjusted for year-to-year increases (or decreases) in funds from operations per share. The annual management fee is paid ratably on a monthly basis and is calculated based upon .65% of the Company's gross investment in real estate at the beginning of each year (as shown on the Company's audited financial statements for the previous year), and will be adjusted for acquisitions or dispositions of property during a year, effective the first of the next month following an acquisition or disposition of such property. At the end of each year, the management fee for that year will be adjusted (either upward or downward) by the percentage increase or decrease in the Company's funds from operations per share, compared to the previous year. Under the management contracts, the Company made cash payments to the Management Company of $1,779,000, $1,468,000, and $1,311,000 in 1994, 1993, and 1992, respectively. At December 31, 1994 and 1993, no amounts were accrued or payable for such services. The Company leases approximately 14,000 s.f. at the Westland Shopping Center to Sizeler Realty, where it maintains its principal executive offices. Under this lease, Sizeler Realty paid annual rent of $94,000 in 1994, 1993, and 1992. The lease provides for three five-year renewal options. 23 SIZELER PROPERTY INVESTORS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED) A director and officer of the Company is a director of Hibernia National Bank ("Hibernia"). At December 31, 1994, $20 million of the Company's $78 million in committed bank lines of credit was provided by Hibernia. The Company had borrowings under the Hibernia line totalling $13 million at December 31, 1994, and no borrowings under this line at December 31, 1993. The Company holds its interest in the Westland Shopping Center pursuant to a long-term ground lease, expiring on December 31, 2046, with certain family members of an officer and director of the Company. During 1994, 1993, and 1992, the Company paid $51,000, $47,000, and $43,000, respectively, under this lease. In March 1991, the Company purchased a 50% interest in the Southwood Shopping Center ("Southwood") from Sizeler Realty (LaPalco), Inc. ("LaPalco"), a wholly- owned subsidiary of Sizeler Realty, for $900,000. Southwood is subject to a long-term ground lease from certain family members of an officer and director of the Company, expiring on March 31, 2031. The rent under the ground lease is 50% of cash flow (as defined) up to a maximum of $225,000, and, in the event the rental payment shall reach $225,000 in any year, it shall remain fixed at $225,000 for each year thereafter. No ground rent was payable under the lease agreement in 1992, 1993, or 1994. LaPalco is the primary obligor on a $1,368,000 mortgage note payable, guaranteed by Sizeler Realty, which LaPalco is solely obligated to pay out of its partnership distributions or other sources. Although the Company is not an obligor on the mortgage note payable, its interest in Southwood is subordinated to the mortgage encumbering the property. The Company incurred $34,000 in 1994, $41,000 in 1993, and $28,000 in 1992 for maintenance services provided by an affiliate of the Management Company. NOTE H: DIVIDEND DISTRIBUTION The dividends paid in 1994, 1993, and 1992 for federal income tax purposes were as follows: 1994 1993 1992 ---------------- ---------------- ---------------- PER PER PER TOTAL SHARE TOTAL SHARE TOTAL SHARE ---------- ----- ---------- ----- ---------- ----- Taxable income............... $6,156,000 $0.72 $3,425,000 $ .62 $2,422,000 $ .55 Return of capital............ 3,650,000 0.38 3,756,000 .43 2,362,000 .46 ---------- ----- ---------- ----- ---------- ----- $9,806,000 $1.10 $7,181,000 $1.05 $4,784,000 $1.01 ========== ===== ========== ===== ========== ===== NOTE I: CASH FLOWS Cash equivalents represent investments that are highly liquid and have a maturity of three months or less at the time the investment is made. The Company assumed mortgage notes payable in 1994, 1993, and 1992 with principal balances totalling $22,750,000, $6,987,000, and $12,344,000, respectively, in connection with the purchase of real estate properties (see Note E). The Company paid off mortgage notes payable totalling $28,573,000 in 1993. Cash interest payments made in 1994, 1993, and 1992 totalled $10,250,000, $5,309,000, and $3,707,000, respectively. 24 SIZELER PROPERTY INVESTORS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED) NOTE J: SUBSEQUENT EVENTS On January 13, 1995, the Company completed mortgage financings, which have a fixed interest rate of 9.465%, involving three of its apartment properties. The combined mortgage amounts totalled $19,825,000 and mature on February 1, 2000. The Company used the net proceeds derived from these mortgage financings to pay down borrowings from its bank credit lines. On January 17, 1995, the Company acquired a 177-unit apartment property located in Pensacola, Florida, at a total cost of $4,747,000. On March 8, 1995, the Company paid a $.28 per share quarterly dividend, to shareholders of record as of February 22, 1995. NOTE K: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The Company's three executive officers defer a portion of their current compensation, payable at date of retirement. Total charges to earnings associated with such deferred compensation were $218,000 in 1994, $199,000 in 1993, and $188,000 in 1992. In October 1990, a lawsuit was commenced in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana, in which the Company and certain officers and directors of the Company were defendants. On August 3, 1992, after a non-jury trial, the United States District Judge dismissed all claims against the Company and all defendants in that litigation. The plaintiff filed an appeal of the Courts' decision, which appeal was argued before the appellate court on August 3, 1993. On September 21, 1993, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit unanimously affirmed the rulings and judgment of the United States District Court. Charges to earnings associated with the lawsuit were approximately $610,000 in 1992. The Company maintains a policy of directors' and officers' liability insurance, which provides coverage for the Company's officers and directors under the corporate indemnity of officers' and directors' provisions in the policy. The policy does not provide coverage of corporate defense costs. Management filed a claim to recover, under the terms of the insurance policy, the legal expenses related to the defense of the Company's officers and directors. The Company had recorded a receivable in the amounts of $312,000 and $394,000 at December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively, toward recovery of such legal expenses. The Company, from time to time, may be subject to other litigation arising from the conduct of its business. Management of the Company does not believe that any existing litigation involving the Company will materially affect its financial condition or future results of operations. NOTE L: MINORITY INTEREST IN REAL ESTATE PARTNERSHIP The Company, directly or through wholly-owned subsidiaries, owns its interests in the North Shore Square Mall, Southland Mall, Delchamps Plaza Shopping Center, Magnolia Place Apartments, Georgian Apartments, Steeplechase Apartments, and Garden Lane Apartments through separate partnerships, four general and three limited, in which the Company has a 99% interest and its partner has a 1% interest. In each case, its partner is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sizeler Realty (see Note G). The Company's consolidated financial statements include 100% of the assets, liabilities, and operations of these properties. Sizeler Realty's ownership portion is reflected in the Company's consolidated financial statements as minority interest. 25 SIZELER PROPERTY INVESTORS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED) NOTE M: SHAREHOLDERS' RIGHTS PLAN In 1989, the Company's Board of Directors adopted a shareholders' rights plan (the "Plan") and simultaneously declared a dividend of one share purchase right ("right") for each outstanding share of the Company's common stock outstanding at May 19, 1989. The rights do not become exercisable until the earlier of (i) the date of the Company's public announcement that a person or affiliated group has acquired, or obtained the right to, beneficial ownership of 20% or more of the Company's common stock, (ii) ten business days following the commencement of a tender offer that would result in a person or affiliated group owning 30% or more of the Company's common stock, or (iii) ten business days after the Company's Board of Directors determines that a person or affiliated group has become the beneficial owner of at least 15% of the Company's common stock and that person or affiliated group intends to sell these shares back to the Company causing a material adverse impact to the Company. The exercise price of a right has been established at $60. Once exercisable, each right would entitle the holder to purchase common stock of the company having a value equal to two times the value of the right. The rights expire on May 19, 1999.
