AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 1995 NOTE A -- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES BASIS OF PRESENTATION: The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles 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 generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the nine-month period ended September 30, 1995, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 1995. The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 1994, has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles 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, 1994. 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. 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. INVESTMENT IN REAL ESTATE PARTNERSHIP: An investment in a partnership for which the Company owns a 50% interest is accounted for by use of the equity method. 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 specified levels. Tenant reimbursements are recognized as the applicable services are rendered or related expenses incurred. 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 method and timing of depreciation of the properties. EARNINGS PER SHARE: Primary earnings per share is based upon the weighted average number of shares outstanding. The weighted average number of shares outstanding were 8,557,000 and 6 SIZELER PROPERTY INVESTORS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 1995 NOTE A -- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 8,912,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively, and 8,757,000 and 8,908,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively. 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 1995 and 1994, due to their antidilutive effect. NOTE B -- MORTGAGE NOTES PAYABLE The Company's mortgage notes payable are secured by certain land, buildings, and improvements. The respective book values of the mortgaged properties and related mortgage balances at September 30, 1995, are as follows: Interest Maturity Book Mortgage Rate Date Value Balance - ---------- ------------- ------------ ----------- 9.75% Sept. 1, 1996 $ 4,597,000 $ 3,478,000 9.00% Mar. 1, 1997 3,372,000 2,238,000 10.88% Dec. 1, 1999 4,556,000 3,569,000 9.47% Feb. 1, 2000 18,778,000 12,025,000 9.47% Feb. 1, 2000 12,230,000 7,800,000 8.35% May 1, 2000 27,724,000 16,000,000 8.25% July 1, 2000 10,553,000 6,868,000 ----------- ----------- $81,810,000 $51,978,000 =========== =========== NOTE C -- ISSUANCE OF COMMON STOCK AND CONVERTIBLE SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES On March 7, 1994, the Company filed a shelf Registration Statement (Form S-3) with the Securities and Exchange Commission, pursuant to which it may offer for sale, from time to time, convertible subordinated debentures, preferred stock, or common stock, with a cumulative public offering price of up to $150 million. To date, no securities have been issued pursuant to this Registration. 7 Financial Information (continued) RESULTS OF OPERATIONS ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. COMPARISON OF THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1995 AND 1994. Operating revenue from all properties in the portfolio for the quarter ended September 30, 1995, compared to 1994, increased $852,000 (9%), due principally to newly-acquired properties ($582,000), and, to a lesser extent, higher rental rates and higher average occupancies at properties which were a part of the Company's portfolio during both comparative periods ($270,000). Revenue from shopping centers and apartments increased $359,000 and $493,000, respectively. At September 30, 1995, the Company's shopping center and apartment properties were 95% and 97% leased, respectively. Operating expenses increased $529,000 (9%); income from operations increased $323,000 (8%). The reported increases in operating expenses and income from operations were due principally to newly-acquired properties. Interest expense increased $668,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 1995, compared to that of 1994, attributable to the following: (1) an increase of $507,000 in mortgage interest expense resulting from mortgage financing completed in the first quarter of 1995 ($19.8 million principal amount at 9.47%); and mortgage financing completed in the second quarter of 1995 ($16.0 million principal amount at 8.35%), offset by a reduction in mortgage interest expense resulting from repaying $22.8 million mortgage debt during the third quarter of 1995; and (2) an increase of $161,000 of interest expense on bank debt (average bank borrowings were approximately $47.0 million and $39.3 million, with an average rate of interest of 7.7% and 7.5% for the third quarter of 1995 and 1994, respectively). Net income decreased between the quarters ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, in the aggregate and on a per-share basis, principally attributable to increased depreciation expense and higher interest expense resulting from increased borrowings relative to the Company's additional investment in real estate properties. COMPARISON OF THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1995 AND 1994. Operating revenue from all properties in the portfolio for the nine months ended September 30, 1995, compared to the same period in 1994, increased $5.54 million (21%), due principally to newly-acquired properties and, to a lesser extent, higher rental rates and higher average occupancies at properties which were a part of the portfolio during both comparable periods. Revenue from shopping centers and apartments increased $3.35 million and $2.19 million, respectively. Operating expenses increased $3.93 million (26%); and income from operations increased $1.62 million (15%). Administrative expenses increased $134,000 between the respective periods, primarily attributable to increased payroll costs, professional fees, and other administrative costs associated with the Company's increased portfolio size and capital structure; otherwise, the reported increases in operating expenses and income from operations were due principally to newly-acquired properties. Interest and dividend income decreased $33,000 in the first nine months of 1995, compared to the same period a year ago, due to disposition of marketable securities in 1994. Interest expense increased $3.70 million (53%) for the nine-month period ended September 30, 1995, compared to the same period in 1994, attributable to (1) an increase of $2.55 million in mortgage interest expense resulting from mortgage financing completed in the first quarter of 1995 ($19.8 million principal amount at 9.47%); and mortgage financing completed in the second quarter of 1995 ($16.0 million principal amount at 8.35%), offset by a reduction in mortgage interest resulting from repaying $22.8 million of mortgage debt during the third quarter of 1995; (2) an increase of $1.15 million of interest expense on bank debt, due to higher average interest rates on borrowed funds used to finance new acquisitions (average 8 borrowings were approximately $57.6 million and $26.0 million, with an average interest rate of 8.2% and 6.8%, for the 1995 and 1994 periods, respectively). The decrease in net income between 1995 and 1994 is principally attributable to the same factors described above in the three-month comparison. 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 the beginning of 1995, the Company had $1.4 million of cash and cash equivalents and $78 million of bank lines of credit, of which $25 million was available. During the first nine months of 1995, these lines of credit were increased to $95 million, of which $32.8 million was available at September 30, 1995. Net cash flows provided by operating activities decreased $1.4 million in the first nine months of 1995 compared to 1994. The decrease was primarily attributable to the reduction in net income, offset by increased depreciation expense, as a result of the factors described in the previous section. Net cash flows used in investing activities decreased $34.3 million in 1995 from 1994. This decrease is attributable to a reduction in the Company's property acquisition program during the first nine months of 1995 compared to 1994. In January 1995, the Company acquired an apartment property in Pensacola, Florida, at a cost of $4.75 million. During the first nine months of 1994 the Company acquired additional land adjoining a retail shopping center for $1.8 million; an apartment property for $27.6 million; and a retail shopping mall, net of debt assumed, for $11.4 million. Net cash flows provided by financing activities decreased $28.2 million in 1995 from 1994, primarily attributable to a reduction in incremental borrowings related to the Company's acquisition program as described above. During the first nine months of 1995, the Company mortgaged four of its apartment properties, three of which were for a combined loan amount of $19.8 million, and one for a loan amount of $16.0 million, at fixed rates of interest of 9.47% and 8.35%, respectively. Proceeds from the financings were used to pay down outstanding borrowings from the Company's bank lines of credit and to fund investing activities and other cash requirements. In connection with these mortgage financings, the Company paid $2.3 million in debt issuance costs and mortgage escrow deposits during 1995. Also during the first nine months of 1995, the Company paid off mortgage loans encumbering four of its properties, totalling $25.8 million. As of September 30, 1995, eight of the Company's properties, comprising approximately 30% of its gross investment in real estate, were subject to a total of $52.0 million in mortgage debt, all of which bears fixed rates of interest for fixed terms. Subsequent to the third quarter of 1995, the Company completed mortgage financing on five of its apartment properties for a combined loan amount of $16.4 million, at a fixed rate of interest of 7.7%. The proceeds from this financing were used to pay down borrowings from the Company's bank lines of credit. In November 1995, the Company entered into an agreement to refinance $19.8 million of its existing mortgage debt, whereby the rate of interest on this debt will be reduced from 9.47% to 7.44%. In February 1995, the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized a program for the repurchase of up to $10 million of its common stock and convertible subordinated debentures. Pursuant to this program, the Company acquired 372,400 shares of its common stock, at a cost of $3,642,000, during the first nine months of 1995. 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 9 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. 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 November 2, 1995, the Company's Board of Directors declared a cash dividend with respect to the period July 1, 1995 through September 30, 1995, of $.28 per share, payable on December 6, 1995, to shareholders of record as of November 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 analytical 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 quarter ended September 30, 1995, funds from operations totalled $2.8 million, an increase of $22,000 (1%), and for the nine months ended September 30, 1995, $8.2 million, a decrease of $501,000 (5.8%) over the same respective periods in 1994. During the first nine months of 1995, funds from operations was affected by several factors, as described above. The operating performance of the Company's real estate properties experienced overall income growth in line with the Company's expectations. However, rising interest rates, combined with a higher level of borrowings, resulted in increased interest expense, and a negative impact on 1995 funds from operations. 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 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. 10 PART II OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
