NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited financial statements of EastGroup Properties, Inc.
("EastGroup" or "The Company") 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 2001 annual report and the notes thereto.
(2) RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain reclassifications have been made in the 2001 financial statements to
conform to the 2002 presentation.
(3) NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 143, "Accounting for Asset
Retirement Obligations," effective for financial statements issued for fiscal
years beginning after June 15, 2002. SFAS No. 143 addresses financial accounting
and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible
long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. The Company has
evaluated the effect of adopting this statement and believes the effect of
adoption will have no impact on its financial position or results of operation.
In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs
Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities." This statement addresses financial
accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities
and nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 94-3, "Liability
Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an
Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)." SFAS No. 146
requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal
activity be recognized when the liability is incurred. The provisions of this
statement are effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after
December 31, 2002, with early application encouraged. The Company plans to adopt
this statement on January 1, 2003 and believes that the effect of adoption will
have no significant impact on its overall financial condition or results of
operations.
(4) REAL ESTATE HELD FOR SALE
The Company applies SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of
Long-Lived Assets." SFAS No. 144 addresses financial accounting and reporting
for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. 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 June 30, 2002, the Company had one industrial property and two
parcels of land held for sale. There can be no assurances that such properties
will be sold.
In accordance with the guidelines established under SFAS No. 144,
operations from the properties placed in the category "held for sale" subsequent
to December 31, 2001 have been classified as income from discontinued operations
for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001. No interest expense
was allocated to the properties that are held for sale.
(5) GOODWILL
The Company applies 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 after June 30, 2001. At June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, the
Company had unamortized goodwill of $990,000 resulting from the acquisition of
Ensign Properties in 1998. Amortization of goodwill expense for 2001 was
$61,000. Upon adoption of SFAS No. 142 on January 1, 2002, amortization of
goodwill ceased. 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 June 30,
2002.
(6) OTHER ASSETS
A summary of the Company's other assets follows:

(7) COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
Comprehensive income is comprised of net income plus all other changes in equity
from nonowner sources. The components of comprehensive income for the six months
ended June 30, 2002 are presented in the Company's Consolidated Statement of
Changes in Stockholders' Equity. The unrealized change in investment securities
is net of realized gains on real estate investment trust securities included in
net income as shown below:

==================
(8) EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share (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 dividing it by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus
the dilutive effect of stock options related to outstanding employee stock
options, nonvested restricted stock and convertible preferred stock, had the
options or conversions been exercised. The dilutive effect of stock options and
nonvested restricted stock was determined using the treasury stock method which
assumes exercise of the options as of the beginning of the period or when
issued, if later, and assuming proceeds from the exercise of options are used to
purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. The
treasury stock method was also used assuming conversion of the convertible
preferred stock. Reconciliation of the numerators and denominators in the basic
and diluted EPS computations is as follows:

conversion price of $22.00 per share, was included in the computation of diluted
earnings per share for the three months ended June 30, 2001 due to its dilutive
effect.
(9) SEGMENT REPORTING
The Company applies SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise
and Related Information." This statement establishes standards for the reporting
of information about operating segments in annual and interim financial
statements. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for
which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by
the chief operating decision makers in deciding how to allocate resources and in
assessing performance.
EastGroup has one reportable segment--industrial properties. These
properties are concentrated in major Sunbelt regions of the United States, have
similar economic characteristics and also meet the other criteria that permit
the properties to be aggregated into one reportable segment. 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 FFO is an appropriate measure of performance for
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) 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 and six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001
reported PNOI by operating segment, followed by reconciliations of PNOI to FFO
and FFO to net income.

(10) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In July 2002, the Company acquired Freeport Tech Center (188,000 square feet) in
Houston, Texas for a price of $6,340,000. In 2000, EastGroup made a construction
loan for the development of Freeport with a related option to purchase the
property after completion. As part of EastGroup's purchase, the seller repaid
the principal amount of $5,500,000 and all accrued interest on the outstanding
mortgage loan receivable.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
(Comments are for the balance sheet dated June 30, 2002 compared to December 31,
2001.)
Assets of EastGroup were $687,595,000 at June 30, 2002, an increase of
$3,813,000 from December 31, 2001. Liabilities (excluding minority interests)
increased $8,641,000 to $319,974,000 and stockholders' equity decreased
$4,834,000 to $365,876,000 during the same period. Book value per common share
decreased from $16.19 at December 31, 2001 to $15.71 at June 30, 2002. The
paragraphs that follow explain these changes in detail.
Real estate properties increased $22,548,000 during the six months ended
June 30, 2002. This increase was due to the acquisition of two properties for a
total of $3,962,000; the transfer of five properties from development with total
costs of $16,808,000 and capital improvements of $4,981,000 made on properties.
These increases were partially offset by the transfer of one property to the
category "held for sale" with costs of $2,022,000 and the transfer of land into
development with costs of $1,181,000.
During the six months ended June 30, 2002, another property was transferred
to "held for sale;" however, this property was subsequently transferred back to
the portfolio as a result of a change in plans by the Company due to market
conditions. Upon the reclassification of this property, depreciation was
adjusted to reflect the carrying amount of this property as if it had never been
classified as "held for sale."
Development increased $1,930,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2002.
This increase resulted from year-to-date development costs of $17,557,000 on
existing and completed development properties and the transfer of land from the
portfolio to development with costs of $1,181,000, offset by development
properties transferred to real estate properties with costs of $16,808,000, as
detailed in the table below.
Total cash outflows for development for the six months ended June 30, 2002
were $19,157,000. In addition to the costs incurred for the six months ended
June 30, 2002 as detailed in the table below, development costs included
$1,600,000 for improvements on properties transferred to the portfolio in the
12-month period following transfer. These costs are reported in Real Estate
Properties on the balance sheet.

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.
Real estate held for sale increased $888,000 due to the transfer of two
properties from the portfolio with total costs of $8,599,000, offset by the sale
of one property with costs of $1,134,000 and the transfer of one property from
held for sale back to the portfolio with costs of $6,577,000.
Accumulated depreciation on real estate properties and real estate held for
sale increased $12,995,000 due to depreciation expense of $13,136,000 on real
estate properties, offset by the sale of one property with accumulated
depreciation of $141,000.
Investment in real estate investment trusts (REITs) decreased from
$6,452,000 at December 31, 2001 to $487,000 at June 30, 2002 as a result of the
sale of REIT shares with a carrying value of $5,259,000. Unrealized gains
decreased $706,000 as a result of realized gains of $1,471,000 on REIT shares,
offset by unrealized holding gains of $765,000.
Mortgage notes payable decreased $2,391,000 during the six months ended
June 30, 2002 primarily due to regularly scheduled principal payments of
$2,583,000. In addition, the Company repaid an $8,008,000 mortgage loan upon its
maturity in April and obtained a new mortgage in May for $8,200,000.
Notes payable to banks increased $10,467,000 as a result of borrowings of
$139,631,000, offset by payments of $129,164,000. The Company's credit
facilities are described in greater detail under Liquidity and Capital
Resources.
Accumulated other comprehensive income decreased $706,000 as a result of
realized gains of $1,471,000 on REIT shares, offset by unrealized holding gains
of $765,000.
Undistributed earnings decreased from $23,753,000 at December 31, 2001 to
$16,657,000 at June 30, 2002, as a result of dividends on common and preferred
stock of $20,134,000 exceeding net income for financial reporting purposes of
$13,038,000.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(Comments are for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2002, compared
to the three months and six months ended June 30, 2001.)
Net income available to common stockholders for the three months and six months
ended June 30, 2002 was $4,426,000 ($.28 per basic share and $.27 per diluted
share) and $8,034,000 ($.51 per basic share and $.50 per diluted share),
compared to net income available to common stockholders for the three months and
six months ended June 30, 2001 of $8,664,000 ($.55 per basic share and $.53 per
diluted share) and $12,975,000 ($.83 per basic share and $.81 per diluted
share). Income before gain on real estate investments was $6,934,000 and
$12,948,000 for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2002, compared to
$7,708,000 and $14,512,000 for the three months and six months ended June 30,
2001. There was no gain on real estate investments for the three months ended
June 30, 2002 and a gain of $93,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2002,
compared to $3,455,000 for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2001.
The paragraphs that follow describe the results of operations in 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), decreased by $689,000 or 3.7% for the three
months ended June 30, 2002 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2001. For
the six months ended June 30, 2002, PNOI decreased by $1,313,000 or 3.5%
compared to the six months ended June 30, 2001. PNOI by property type and
percentage leased for industrial were as follows:

--------------------------------------------------
Total PNOI $ 18,075 18,764 35,852 37,165
==================================================
PNOI from industrial properties decreased $680,000 (3.7%) and $1,295,000
(3.5%) for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2002, compared to June
30, 2001. Industrial properties held throughout the three months and six months
ended June 30, 2002 compared to the same periods in 2001 showed a decrease in
PNOI of 4.5% and 4.1%, respectively. The decrease in PNOI results primarily from
a decrease in the Company's portfolio occupancy level from 93.7% at June 30,
2001 to 89.7% at June 30, 2002. This decrease is primarily due to a continued
slowing in the economy and the unusually high percentage of leases that expired
last year (over 20%). In addition, real estate operating expenses increased
$964,000 (15.9%) and $2,082,000 (17.3%) for the three months and six months
ended June 30, 2002. This increase was primarily due to increases in insurance
and property taxes. Because of the lower occupancy, the Company was not able to
pass through to tenants as large a percent of this expense increase in 2002 as
it would have been able to do in 2001.
Gain on REIT securities was $1,050,000 for the three months and $1,471,000
for the six months ended June 30, 2002. Gain on REIT securities was $706,000 for
the three months and six months ended June 30, 2001.
Bank interest expense before amortization of loan costs and capitalized
interest was $737,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2002, a decrease of
$481,000 from the three months ended June 30, 2001. Bank interest expense before
amortization of loan costs and capitalized interest was $1,403,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 2002, a decrease of $1,690,000 from the six months ended
June 30, 2001. Average bank borrowings were $89,624,000 and $88,203,000 for the
three months and six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to $78,035,000 and
$91,904,000 for the same periods in 2001. Average bank interest rates were 3.25%
and 3.16% for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to
6.25% and 6.71% for the same periods in 2001. 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 six months ended June 30, 2002 were $556,000
and $1,088,000 compared to $609,000 and $1,284,000 for the same periods in 2001.
Amortization of bank loan costs was $92,000 and $198,000 for the three months
and six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to $66,000 and $132,000 for the same
periods in 2001.
Mortgage interest expense on real estate properties was $3,848,000 for the
three months ended June 30, 2002, a decrease of $58,000 from the three months
ended June 30, 2001. Mortgage interest expense on real estate properties was
$7,730,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2002, an increase of $624,000 from
the six months ended June 30, 2001. The increase in interest for the six months
was primarily due to a $45,000,000 mortgage loan obtained in April 2001.
Amortization of mortgage loan costs was $44,000 and $97,000 for the three months
and six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to $42,000 and $85,000 for the same
periods in 2001.
Depreciation and amortization increased $665,000 and $1,545,000 for the
three months and six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to the same periods in
2001. These increases were primarily due to the industrial properties acquired
and development properties that achieved stabilized operations in both 2001 and
2002. These increases were offset by the sale of several properties in 2001 and
2002 and the transfer of several properties to real estate held for sale
(depreciation is not taken on those properties in the category "real estate held
for sale").
A summary of the gains on real estate investments for the six months ended
June 30, 2002 and 2001 is detailed below.

30, 2002 compared to $442,000 and $966,000 for the same periods in 2001. The
decreases in 2002 are primarily due to lease terminations, lease amendments and

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Net cash provided by operating activities was $29,187,000 for the six months
ended June 30, 2002. Other sources of cash were primarily from bank borrowings,
proceeds from mortgage notes payable, sales of REIT shares, proceeds from
exercise of stock options and sales of real estate investments. The Company
distributed $14,924,000 in common and $5,004,000 in preferred stock dividends.
Other primary uses of cash were for bank debt payments, construction and
development of properties, mortgage note payments, purchases of real estate
investments, capital improvements at the various properties, and debt issuance
costs. Total debt at June 30, 2002 and 2001 was as follows:

Total debt $ 299,148 282,277
=============================
The Company has a three-year, $175,000,000 unsecured revolving credit
facility with a group of ten banks that matures in January 2005. The interest
rate on the facility is based on the Eurodollar rate and varies according to
debt-to-total asset value ratios. At June 30, 2002, the interest rate was 3.24%
on $50,000,000 and 3.09% on $43,000,000. The interest rate on each tranche is
currently reset on a monthly basis.
The Company has a one-year $12,500,000 unsecured revolving credit facility
with PNC Bank, N.A. that matures in January 2003. The interest rate on this
facility is based on the LIBOR rate and varies according to debt-to-total asset
value ratios. The interest rate was 3.0137% on a balance of $3,525,000 at June
30, 2002.
As part of its financial management activities and in order to reduce
exposure to floating rate bank debt, during the quarter ended June 30, 2002,
EastGroup signed an application with Metropolitan Life for a $40 million
nonrecourse mortgage secured by 15 properties. The note will have an interest
rate of 6.86%, a maturity date of 10 years, and an amortization period of 25
years. The loan is expected to close during the third quarter.
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 six months ended June 30,
2002. 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.
EastGroup owns 487,100 shares of Pacific Gulf Properties (PAG) with a
carrying amount of $487,000 (estimated remaining distributions from PAG) at June
30, 2002. PAG is in the final stage of liquidating its assets and made
liquidating distributions of $22.00 per share in 2000 and a total of $5.275 per
share in 2001.
In July 2002, the Company acquired Freeport Tech Center (188,000 square
feet) in Houston, Texas for a price of $6,340,000. In 2000, EastGroup made a
construction loan for the development of Freeport with a related option to
purchase the property after completion. As part of EastGroup's purchase, the
seller repaid the principal amount of $5,500,000 and all accrued interest on the
outstanding mortgage loan receivable.
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.
Jul-Dec Fair
2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 Thereafter Total Value
---------- --------- -------- --------- --------- ------------ ---------- ----------
Fixed rate debt (in thousands) $ 2,786 9,462 10,293 24,149 20,629 135,304 202,623 211,868
Weighted average interest rate 7.65% 8.14% 8.03% 8.03% 7.83% 7.37% 7.57%
Variable rate debt (in thousands) - 3,525 - 93,000 - - 96,525 96,525
Weighted average interest rate - 3.01% - 3.17% - - 3.16%
As the table above incorporates only those exposures that exist as of June
30, 2002, 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 32 basis points, interest
expense and cash flows would increase or decrease by approximately $305,000
annually.
