ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Company Profile
Boddie-Noell Properties, Inc. is a self-administered and self-managed
real estate investment trust that owns and operates apartment communities in
North Carolina and Virginia. We currently own and operate 15 apartment
communities containing 3,440 units, and have the right to acquire one additional
apartment community containing 108 units. We also own 44 restaurant properties,
which we lease to a third party under a master lease on a triple-net basis. We
manage four other apartment communities through BNP Management, Inc., an
unconsolidated subsidiary. We refer to BNP Management, Inc. as the Management
Company.
Boddie-Noell Properties, Inc. is structured as an UpREIT, or "umbrella
partnership real estate investment trust." We are the sole general partner and
own a controlling interest in Boddie-Noell Properties Limited Partnership,
through which we conduct all of our operations. We refer to this partnership as
the Operating Partnership. We refer to the limited partners of the Operating
Partnership as "minority unitholders" or "minority interest."
As of March 20, 2000, we have 5,706,950 shares of common stock and
1,712,658 Operating Partnership minority units outstanding. We have 1,605
shareholders of record. We estimate that there are approximately 8,000
beneficial owners of our common stock. Our shares are listed on the American
Stock Exchange, trading under the symbol "BNP."
Our executive offices are located at 3850 One First Union Center,
Charlotte, North Carolina 28202-6032, and our telephone number is 704/944-0100.
History and Development of Boddie-Noell Properties, Inc.
The company was originally incorporated in the state of Delaware in
1987. Beginning in 1987, we elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal
Revenue Code. As such, we generally are not, and will not be, subject to federal
or state income taxes on net income. As a REIT, we are subject to a number of
organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that we
currently distribute at least 95% of our REIT taxable income as dividends.
In 1987, we purchased 47 existing restaurant properties located in
North Carolina and Virginia for an aggregate purchase price of $43.2 million.
From 1987 through 1992, our assets primarily consisted of these 47 restaurant
properties. During this period we operated as an externally administered and
externally managed REIT. We leased the restaurants to Boddie-Noell Enterprises,
Inc. ("Enterprises"), a Hardee's franchisee, under a master lease on a
triple-net basis. A master lease is a single lease that covers multiple
properties, while a triple-net lease is one where the lessee pays all operating
expenses, maintenance, property insurance and real estate taxes.
In 1993, we began to change our focus from restaurant properties to
apartment communities, with the objective of increasing funds from operations
and enhancing shareholder value. During 1993 through 1996, we acquired five
apartment communities. Four of these apartment communities are located in North
Carolina, and one is located in Virginia. In 1994 we acquired BT Venture
Corporation, an integrated real estate management, development and acquisition
company, and began operating as a self-administered and self-managed REIT.
3
In 1997, we reincorporated in the state of Maryland and reorganized to
our present UpREIT structure. Prior to the reorganization, most property owners
who sold us properties recognized gain on their sale. However, through our
UpREIT structure, we can acquire properties in exchange for Operating
Partnership units and trigger no immediate tax obligation for certain sellers.
We believe that our conversion to an UpREIT enables us to acquire properties not
otherwise available or at lower prices because of the tax advantages to certain
property sellers of receiving limited partnership interests instead of cash as
consideration. Minority unitholders will generally be able to redeem their units
for cash or, at our option as general partner, for shares of common stock of the
company on a one-for-one basis. Distributions of cash from the Operating
Partnership are allocated between the REIT and the minority unitholders based on
their respective unit ownership.
In September 1997, we signed an agreement to acquire a portfolio of
seven apartment communities located in North Carolina by issuing Operating
Partnership units. We refer to this acquisition as the "Chrysson acquisition,"
and to the sellers as the "Chrysson Parties." Under the terms of the acquisition
agreement, we will have a right of first refusal to purchase any project
developed in the future by the development entity owned by the Chrysson Parties.
During 1997 and 1998, we acquired a total of nine apartment communities
by issuing Operating Partnership units. We acquired six of these communities
from the Chrysson Parties.
In December 1997, we completed a common stock offering and issued 2.7
million shares of common stock. We used proceeds of this offering to retire long
term debt. This common stock offering almost doubled the number of the company's
common shares outstanding.
Restaurant sales and restaurant rental income have been declining since
1992, reflecting the increased competition and widespread price discounting in
the fast food industry. In August 1997, CKE Restaurants, Inc. purchased Hardee's
Food Systems, Inc., the restaurant franchisor. CKE operates, franchises, or owns
interests in approximately 3,800 restaurants, including Hardee's and Carl's Jr.
restaurants. While the rate of decline in restaurant sales has slowed in recent
years, we have not seen improvement in restaurant sales to date.
Recent Developments
In January 1999, we acquired one additional apartment community in a
direct purchase by paying cash and assuming long term debt.
In June 1999, we sold three restaurants to Enterprises, the lessee,
under an agreement that allows Enterprises to close up to seven restaurants and
buy them back for no less than net carrying value.
Current Operations
We conduct all of our operations through the Operating Partnership. We
currently own approximately 77% of the outstanding Operating Partnership units.
We currently own and operate 15 apartment communities. These
communities are located in North Carolina and Virginia, and contain a total of
3,440 apartment units. Under the terms of the Chrysson acquisition agreement, we
have the right to acquire an additional apartment community with 108 apartment
units in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. We plan to exercise our option to
acquire this community when it reaches certain performance targets specified in
the agreement. We also own the 44 restaurant properties that we lease to
Enterprises under a triple-net master lease. In addition, we manage four other
apartment communities through an unconsolidated subsidiary.
4
We have 133 employees, including management, accounting, legal,
acquisitions, development, property management, leasing, maintenance and
administrative personnel.
Business Strategy
Our principal investment objectives are to provide our shareholders
with current income and to increase the value of the company's common stock. We
focus on increasing long term growth in funds from operations and funds
available for distribution per share, and on increasing the value of our
portfolio through effective management, growth, financing, and investment
strategies. We expect to implement our strategies primarily through the
acquisition, operation, leasing and management of apartment communities.
We seek to acquire apartment properties in areas within the
southeastern United States exhibiting substantial economic growth and an
expanding job base in which we can establish a significant market presence in
the apartment community marketplace. Through our UpREIT structure, we have the
ability to acquire apartment communities by issuing Operating Partnership units
in tax-deferred exchanges with owners of such properties. We expect that we will
finance future acquisitions of apartment communities principally with Operating
Partnership units as well as loans and funds from additional offerings of common
stock, preferred stock, or joint venture arrangements.
We will selectively consider opportunities to develop new apartment
communities, to add additional units to existing communities, and to acquire and
rehabilitate older apartment communities. Members of our management team have
directed over $114 million of development or redevelopment projects, including
13 apartment communities containing over 2,500 apartment units. This development
and redevelopment experience will enable us to build additional apartment
communities and to rehabilitate existing communities when economic conditions
and available capital make such opportunities attractive.
Our residents are typically mid- to high-end "residents by
necessity"--individuals or families with moderate to high incomes that live in
apartments by necessity. They include retirees, young professionals,
manager-level white-collar workers, medical personnel, teachers, members of the
military and young families.
We strongly emphasize on-site property management. We seek
opportunities and have developed internal programs to increase average occupancy
rates, reduce resident turnover, raise rents and control costs. On-site
community managers report directly to regional managers who are locally based.
This flat organization provides for efficient staffing levels, reduces overhead
expenses, and enables us to respond to the needs of residents and on-site
employees. In an effort to reduce long term operating costs, we annually review
each apartment community and promptly attend to maintenance and recurring
capital needs. Our employees supervise all renovation and repair activities,
which are generally completed by outside contractors.
We will seek additional sources of revenue at our existing apartment
communities. These may include water submetering and marketing of cable
television, high speed internet service, and long distance telephone services.
As a consequence of our focus on apartments, we may elect to sell our
restaurant properties and reinvest the proceeds in additional apartment
communities. However, no sale of the restaurants is pending, and we intend to
divest the restaurants only when we believe such a transaction will enhance
shareholder value.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
Apartment Communities
Through the Operating Partnership, we own and manage 15 apartment
communities consisting of 3,440 apartment units. For the fourth quarter of 1999,
our average economic occupancy rate was 95.3%, and average monthly revenue per
occupied unit was $727. The average age of the apartment communities is
approximately 8.7 years. The buildings in our apartment communities are
generally wood framed, two and three story buildings, with exterior entrances,
individually metered gas and electric service, and individual heating and
cooling systems. Our apartment units are comprised of 33.3% one bedroom units,
59.3% two bedroom units, and 7.4% three bedroom units. The units average 991
square feet in area and are well equipped with modern appliances and other
conveniences. Our communities generally include swimming pools, tennis courts
and clubrooms, and most have exercise facilities. The communities are held
subject to loans, discussed in the notes to the financial statements.
The table on page 8 summarizes information about each of our apartment
communities.
Restaurant Properties
We lease the 44 restaurant properties on a triple-net basis to
Enterprises under a master lease. The master lease, as amended in 1995, has a
primary term expiring in December 2007, but grants Enterprises three five-year
renewal options. Enterprises pays annual rent equal to the greater of the
specified minimum rent or 9.875% of food sales from the restaurants. Under
certain conditions, and subject to our approval, Enterprises has the right to
substitute another restaurant property for a property covered by the lease.
After December 31, 2007, Enterprises has the right to terminate the lease on up
to five restaurant properties per year by offering to purchase them under
specified terms. In addition, we entered into a separate agreement that allows
Enterprises to purchase, under specified terms, up to seven restaurant
properties deemed to be non-economic for no less than net carrying value.
In June 1999, we sold three restaurants deemed to be non-economic to
Enterprises. Following the sale of these properties, the annual minimum rent on
the remaining 44 restaurants was approximately $4.3 million in 1999, and $4.2
million per year thereafter, compared to $4.5 million minimum rent on 47
restaurants in previous years.
The average acquisition of the restaurant properties was approximately
$920,000 per property. For the three restaurants sold in 1999, the average
original cost was approximately $887,000. We sold these restaurants to
Enterprises in 1999 for their net carrying value, which totaled approximately
$2.1 million.
The restaurant properties are operated by Enterprises as Hardee's
restaurants pursuant to franchise agreements with Hardee's Food Systems, Inc.
These agreements require that the properties conform to a standard design
specified by Hardee's. The current design consists of a one-story brick, stucco
or wood building that embodies a contemporary style with substantial plate glass
window areas. The buildings average 3,400 square feet and are located on sites
averaging 1.2 acres. The buildings are suitable for conversion to a number of
uses, but the exteriors would have to be substantially modified prior to their
use in non-restaurant applications. Hardee's owns a design patent on certain
elements of the building and requires franchisees to make certain exterior
modifications if the location is discontinued as a Hardee's restaurant.
Enterprises is responsible for all aspects of the operation,
maintenance and upkeep of the restaurant properties. In addition, Enterprises is
responsible for the cost of any improvement, expansion, remodeling or
replacement required to keep the properties competitive or in conformity with
Hardee's building standards. During 1999, Hardee's developed a new concept
referred to as "Star Hardee's." This
6
concept involves the implementation of a new menu and substantial renovation of
the stores. The required renovation includes new signage, exterior and interior
color schemes, kitchen equipment, furniture, decorations and lighting. The
estimated cost to complete the required modification is between $100,000 and
$150,000 per store. During 1999, Enterprises completed the renovation of ten of
our stores to the Star Hardee's concept. Enterprises has scheduled seven of our
stores for renovation during 2000, and currently anticipates that all of our
stores will be converted by January 2002. The decision to modify a particular
restaurant property is based on a number of factors, including the date of its
last modification and the number, age and design features of competing
restaurants located in the market area of the particular property. All of the
costs of the conversion of a store to the Star Hardee's concept are borne by
Enterprises.
The locations of our restaurant properties are listed on page 9 of this
Annual Report.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are a party to a variety of legal proceedings arising in the
ordinary course of business. We do not expect any of these matters, individually
and in aggregate, to have a material adverse impact on the company.
In the event a claim was successful, we believe that we are adequately
covered by insurance and indemnification agreements. We have insurance coverage
on each of our apartment communities. Our restaurant properties are subject to
an indemnification agreement whereby Enterprises, the lessee, is responsible for
all claims arising from a restaurant property. In addition, Enterprises is
required to provide insurance, which identifies the company as a named insured,
on each restaurant property. Each apartment property that we manage but do not
own is covered by an insurance policy under which we are a named insured. As to
claims to which we have become a successor party-in-interest to BT Venture
Corporation, we received, as part of the acquisition of BT Venture Corporation,
an indemnification agreement from the shareholders of BT Venture Corporation,
which, subject to certain limitations, indemnifies us from loss arising out of a
claim against BT Venture Corporation.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders during the

We have paid regular quarterly dividends to holders of our common stock
since our inception, and we intend to continue to do so. We anticipate that we
will pay all dividends from current funds from operations. We expect to continue
to pay a dividend of $0.31 per quarter. On an annualized basis, this would be
$1.24 per share. We expect distributions to substantially exceed the 95% annual
distribution requirement for a REIT.
We have a dividend reinvestment plan that is available to all
shareholders of record. Under this plan, as amended in July 1996, the plan
administrator, First Union National Bank of North Carolina, reinvests dividends
on behalf of plan participants in our common stock. First Union will either
issue new shares or purchase shares on the open market, at our direction. In
addition, shareholders who participate in the plan may elect to make direct cash
investments or supplement their reinvestment program with additional cash
investments of any amount from $25 to $10,000 per quarter. Participants do not
pay any commissions on stock purchased under the plan.
Sales of Unregistered Securities
There were no sales of unregistered securities in 1999.
ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

(2) Funds from operations and funds available for distribution amounts for

Funds from operations is defined by the National Association of Real
Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") as "net income (computed in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles), excluding gains (or
losses) from sales of property, plus depreciation and amortization, and
after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures."
We calculate funds available for distribution as funds from operations
plus non-cash expense for amortization of loan costs, less recurring
capital expenditures. During 1999 we revised our calculation of funds
available for distribution to conform to the prevalent industry practice.
We no longer deduct scheduled debt principal payments from funds from
operations in calculating funds available for distribution. We restated
amounts shown for previous years to conform to our current practice.
We consider funds from operations and funds available for distribution to
be useful in evaluating potential property acquisitions and measuring the
operating performance of an equity REIT. Together with net income and cash
flows, funds from operations and funds available for distribution provide
investors with additional measures to evaluate the ability of the REIT to
incur and service debt and to fund acquisitions and other capital
expenditures. Funds from operations and funds available for distribution
do not represent net income or cash flows from operations as defined by
generally accepted accounting principles. You should not consider funds
from operations or funds available for distribution:
o to be alternatives to net income as reliable measures of the company's
operating performance, or
o to be alternatives to cash flows as measures of liquidity.
Funds from operations and funds available for distribution do not measure
whether cash flow is sufficient to fund all of our cash needs, including
principal amortization, capital improvements and distributions to
shareholders. Funds from operations and funds available for distribution
do not represent cash flows from operating, investing or financing
activities as defined by generally accepted accounting principles.
Further, funds from operations and funds available for distribution as
disclosed by other REITs might not be comparable to our calculation of
funds from operations or funds available for distribution.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion contains forward-looking statements within the
meaning of federal securities law. You can identify such statements by the use
of forward-looking terminology, such as "may," "will," "expect," "anticipate,"
"estimate," "continue" or other similar words. These statements discuss future
expectations, contain projections of results of operations or of financial
condition or state other "forward-looking" information.
Although we believe that our plans, intentions, and expectations
reflected in or suggested by these forward-looking statements are reasonable, we
cannot assure you that we will achieve our plans, intentions or expectations.
When you consider such forward-looking statements, you should keep in mind the
following important factors that could cause our actual results to differ
materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement:
o our markets could suffer unexpected increases in the development of
apartment, other rental, or competitive housing alternatives;
o general economic conditions could cause the financial condition of a
large number of our tenants to deteriorate;
o we may not be able to complete development, acquisition or joint
venture projects as quickly or on as favorable terms as anticipated;
o we may not be able to lease or re-lease apartments quickly or on as
favorable terms as under existing leases;
o we may have incorrectly assessed the environmental condition of our
properties;
o an unexpected increase in interest rates could increase our debt
service costs;
o we may not be able to meet our long term liquidity requirements on
favorable terms;
o we could lose key executive officers; and
o our concentrated markets may suffer an unexpected decline in economic
growth or increase in unemployment rates.
Given these uncertainties, we caution you not to place undue reliance
on forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to publicly release
the results of any revision to these forward-looking statements that may be made
to reflect any future events or circumstances or to reflect the occurrence of
unanticipated events.
You should read the discussion in conjunction with the financial
statements and notes thereto included in this Annual Report.
Overview
This discussion analyzes our operations for the full years of 1999,
1998, and 1997. During 1997 and 1998 we experienced a number of significant
changes that resulted in a marked increase in our total assets, revenues, and
expenses, and significant changes in our capital and operating structure. In
reading this discussion, it might help if you keep certain key events and
general trends in mind:
15
o Our apartment portfolio has grown dramatically--from five apartment
communities containing 1,328 units in November 1997, to 15 apartment
communities containing 3,440 units in January 1999.
o We converted to an UpREIT structure in December 1997. We utilized this
structure to complete nine of our ten apartment community acquisitions in
the last three years by issuing approximately 1.7 million Operating
Partnership units. Minority owners now represent approximately 23%
ownership of the Operating Partnership.
o We completed a common stock offering of 2.7 million shares of our common
stock in December 1997. Net proceeds of this offering were $34.9 million.
o In December 1998, we established a share buy-back program that authorized
the repurchase and retirement of up to 300,000 shares of our common stock.
During the fourth quarter of 1999, we repurchased and retired approximately
272,000 shares of our common stock at a total cost of approximately $2.5
million.
We receive revenue from two principal sources--apartment rents and
restaurant rents. In addition, we have other income that consists primarily of
interest income and equity income from our unconsolidated subsidiary. As a
result of our apartment acquisitions, our total revenue has increased
significantly. In addition, the percentage of our total revenue that comes from
apartment rental income has increased significantly. However, restaurant rental
income remains significant to our cash flow, since our operating expenses
related to restaurants are insignificant to our operations.
Results of Operations
1999 Compared to 1998
Net income
Net income available to common shareholders in 1999 was $2.7 million, a
decrease of 26.0% compared to 1998. Earnings before depreciation and
amortization increased by 5.9%, while non-cash charges for depreciation and
amortization increased by 26.8%, in 1999 compared to 1998.
Revenues
Total revenue for 1999 was $33.5 million, an increase of 23.3% over
1998. This increase is primarily attributable to apartment community
acquisitions in 1998 and January 1999. Apartment rental income accounted for
85.5% of our total revenue in 1999 compared to 80.8% in 1998.
Apartment rental income for 1999 was $28.6 million, an increase of
30.5% over 1998. This increase is primarily the result of apartment community
acquisitions. Average economic occupancy for all apartments was 95.1% in 1999
and 94.7% in 1998. Average monthly revenue per occupied unit for all apartments
was $729 in 1999 and $737 in 1998.
On a same-units basis, rental income for apartments owned throughout
both years increased 0.3%. Average economic occupancy for these units was 95.3%
for 1999 and 94.6% in 1998. Average monthly revenue per occupied unit for these
units was $732 in 1999 and $735 in 1998.
Throughout 1999, we experienced some weakness in the majority of our
apartment markets. This weakness appears to be the result of new apartment
construction and robust home sales. While we have been able to maintain or
improve high occupancy levels, we have not been able to achieve target rental
rates. As a result, apartment rental income was lower in 1999 than expected.
16
Overall, we do not expect any significant improvement in our apartment
markets in 2000. In light of this, we will continue to emphasize occupancy as a
means of maximizing cash flow from our apartment communities. We will also
strive to maintain our competitive position by keeping the apartment communities
in an excellent state of repair and by making selective improvements. We believe
that we have good properties in excellent locations, and that we are well
positioned to compete effectively in our markets.
Restaurant rental income for 1999 was $4.3 million, a decrease of 3.6%
compared to 1998. Restaurant rental income was the minimum rent for both 1999
and 1998. The decline in rental income was the result of the sale of three
restaurants in 1999. Under the lease, restaurant rental payments are the greater
of a specified minimum rent or 9.875% of food sales. Prior to the sale of the
three restaurants in 1999, the minimum rent was $4,500,000 per year, or $375,000
per month. With the sale of the three restaurants, the new minimum rent is
$4,212,766 per year, or $351,000 per month beginning June 1999. Excluding the
three restaurants that were sold during 1999, restaurant food sales declined
3.1% for the year. For rent payments based on percentage rent to resume, sales
would have to increase 4.7% over 1999 levels.
Interest and other income decreased by 28.7% to $510,000 in 1999 as
compared to 1998. This decrease is primarily attributable to a $210,000
reduction in interest income due to repayment in February 1999 of $2.0 million
in principal on a note receivable from a joint venture partnership. Our interest
in the net income of the Management Company was $123,000 in 1999 compared to
$115,000 in 1998. We do not expect the operations of the Management Company to
have a significant effect on our financial position, operating results or cash
flows in future periods.
Expenses
Total expenses for 1999 were $30.0 million, an increase of 32.4% over
1998. This increase is primarily due to apartment community acquisitions in 1998
and early 1999.
Apartment operations expense was $10.0 million in 1999, an increase of
39.6% over 1998. This increase reflects the impact of apartment acquisitions in
1998 and early 1999 as well as higher operating costs. Apartment operations
expense totaled 35.0% of related rental income in 1999 compared to 32.8% in
1998.
On a same-units basis, operations expense for apartments owned
throughout both years increased 3.9% in 1999 as compared to 1998. For these
units, apartment operations expense totaled 34.4% of related income compared to
33.2% in 1998.
Apartment operations expenses were generally in line with management's
expectations. The increase in apartment operations expense as a percent of
related income is primarily attributable to shortfalls in rental income.
Increases in on-site personnel compensation, taxes and insurance further
increased apartment operations expense as a percent of related income.
Operating expenses for restaurant properties are insignificant because
the restaurant properties' triple-net lease arrangement requires the lessee to
pay virtually all of the expenses associated with the restaurant properties.
The increases in depreciation and amortization expense are primarily
attributable to the addition of apartment communities. Depreciation expense was
$7.0 million in 1999, an increase of 28.7% compared to 1998. For apartment
communities owned throughout both years, depreciation expense increased 3.8%,
reflecting the impact of additions and replacements at those communities.
17
Administrative expense was $1.8 million in 1999, a 31.5% increase over
1998. We include our apartment property management costs as well as corporate
expenses in this line item. The increase in administrative costs is generally
attributable to additional management and administrative staff and overhead
costs corresponding to the addition of apartment communities. In addition, legal
and professional fees expense totaled $269,000 in 1999 compared to $198,000 in
1998, reflecting the increased complexity and costs associated with
administration of our UpREIT structure. We expect that administrative costs will
continue to increase, but at a slower rate, as and when we acquire additional
apartment communities.
Interest expense was $10.7 million in 1999, an increase of 30.4% over
1998. This increase reflects the effect of increased debt related to apartment
acquisitions in 1998 and early 1999. We were able to obtain favorable rates,
fixed at rates ranging from 6.345% to 6.650% on new debt issues in the second
half of 1998, which resulted in weighted average interest rates of 7.2% in 1999
compared to 7.5% in 1998.
1998 Compared to 1997
Net income
Net income available to common shareholders in 1998 was $3.7 million,
an increase of 113.0% over 1997. Earnings before depreciation and amortization
increased by 105.8%, while non-cash charges for depreciation and amortization
increased by 81.8%, in 1998 compared to 1997.
Revenues
Total revenue for 1998 was $27.1 million, an increase of 67.0% over
1997. This increase is primarily attributable to apartment community
acquisitions in 1997 and 1998. Apartment rental income accounted for 80.8% of
our total revenue in 1998 compared to 68.9% in 1997.
Apartment rental income for 1998 was $21.9 million, an increase of
95.8% over 1997. This increase is primarily the result of apartment community
acquisitions. Average economic occupancy for all apartments was 94.7% in 1998
and 95.3% in 1997. Average monthly revenue per occupied unit for all apartments
was $737 in 1998 and $698 in 1997.
On a same-units basis, rental income for apartments owned throughout
both years remained relatively constant, declining by 0.4%. Average economic
occupancy for these units was 94.7% in 1998 and 95.3% in 1997. Average monthly
revenue per occupied unit for these units was $700 in 1998 and $698 in 1997.
Restaurant rental income was the minimum rent for both 1998 and 1997.
Under the terms of the lease agreement, restaurant rental income was the greater
of the minimum rent of $4.5 million per year or 9.875% of food sales. For 1998,
sales at our restaurant properties totaled $43.8 million, a decrease of 0.9%
compared to 1997.
Interest and other income increased by 28.9% to $715,000 in 1998 as
compared to 1997. This increase is primarily attributable to $360,000 interest
and fees (compared to $164,000 in 1997) earned on a note receivable from a joint
venture partnership. Our interest in the net income of the Management Company
decreased to $115,000 in 1998 compared to $210,000 in 1997. This decrease
reflects the effect of the sale of two managed properties in the first quarter
of 1997 and the loss of management fees from Woods Edge and Oak Hollow. (The
Management Company fee-managed these communities before we acquired them.)
18
Expenses
Total expenses for 1998 were $22.7 million, an increase of 58.5% over
1997. This increase was primarily due to apartment community acquisitions in
1997 and 1998.
Apartment operations expense was $7.2 million in 1998, an increase of
102.6% over 1997. This increase reflects the impact of apartment acquisitions in
1997 and 1998, along with an overall increase in apartment operations expense.
Apartment operations expense totaled 32.8% of related income in 1998 compared to
31.7% in 1997.
On a same-units basis, apartment operations expense for apartments
owned in both years increased by 10.2% in 1998 compared to 1997. For these
units, apartment operations expense totaled 34.4% of related income in 1998
compared to 31.7% in 1997.
During 1998 we experienced increased costs associated with attracting
and retaining residents in an increasingly competitive apartment market. We also
experienced significant increases in property insurance premiums effective
November 1997 as a result of a 1996 fire loss. In addition, we experienced
increased payroll costs in 1998, primarily due to increased maintenance labor
rates.
Operating expenses for restaurant properties were insignificant because
of the restaurant properties' triple-net lease arrangement that requires the
lessee to pay virtually all of the expenses associated with the restaurant
properties.
Depreciation expense was $5.4 million in 1998, an increase of 101.3%
over 1997. The increase in depreciation expense was primarily attributable to
apartment community acquisitions.
Amortization expense was $531,000 in 1998, a decline of 8.6% from 1997.
The decrease in amortization expense reflects reduced amortization of deferred
financing costs after significant debt retirements in December 1997.
Administrative expense was $1.3 million in 1998, an increase of 33.3%
over 1997. The increased expenses for 1998 compared to 1997 are generally
attributable to additional corporate level staff and overhead costs resulting
from the addition of apartment communities.
Interest expense was $8.2 million in 1998, an increase of 26.6% over
1997. The increased expense in 1998 reflects the effect of debt issued related
to apartment acquisitions, offset by the significant impact of retirements of
higher rate debt. Weighted average interest rates were 7.5% in 1998 compared to
8.0% in 1997.

The additions of apartment communities have more than offset the
decline in restaurant rental income, producing increases in funds from
operations. Funds from operations in 1999 (before deduction for minority
interest) totaled $10.8 million, an increase of 5.1% over 1998. Funds from
operations in 1998 (before deduction for minority interest) totaled $10.3
million, an increase of 109.4% over 1997.
Increases in funds available for distribution were 2.2% in 1999 and
99.4% in 1998. The variance in increases in funds available for distribution
compared to increases in funds from operations reflects the
20
impact of recurring capital expenditures for major capital maintenance costs at
our older communities. Recurring capital expenditures averaged $323 per unit in
1999, $290 per unit in 1998, and $268 per unit in 1997.
Capital Resources and Liquidity
Capital Resources
In January 1999, we acquired an apartment community for a total cost of
approximately $12.5 million. In conjunction with this acquisition, we made cash
payments totaling approximately $1.8 million and assumed long term debt and
related liabilities totaling $10.7 million. We did not issue any common stock or
Operating Partnership units in conjunction with this transaction. We financed
this acquisition through draws on our line of credit that is secured by a deed
of trust on our restaurant properties.
In December 1998, we established a share buy-back program that
authorized the repurchase and retirement of up to 300,000 shares of our common
stock. During the fourth quarter of 1999, we repurchased and retired
approximately 272,000 shares of our common stock at a cost of approximately $2.5
million. In early 2000, we repurchased and retired approximately 28,000 shares
of our common stock at a cost of approximately $255,000.
During 1999 we made draws totaling $9.0 million on our line of credit
that is secured by our restaurant properties. We applied these funds toward our
apartment acquisition, the buyback of common stock, and to retire a $6.1 million
note payable to an affiliate.
During 1999 we also entered into a line of credit arrangement totaling
$20.0 million that is secured by a deed of trust on Latitudes Apartments. We
applied a $12.7 million draw against this line of credit to retire a fixed rate
deed of trust loan secured by Latitudes Apartments.
During June through September 1998, we acquired five apartment
communities for a total cost of approximately $59.3 million. In conjunction with
these acquisitions, we issued Operating Partnership units with an imputed value
of approximately $8.0 million. We financed these acquisitions through assumption
or issue of fixed rate deed of trust loans totaling $39.3 million and draws on
our line of credit totaling $12.0 million.
In December 1997, we acquired four apartment communities for a total
cost of approximately $60.9 million. In conjunction with these acquisitions, we
issued Operating Partnership units with an imputed value of approximately $15.0
million. We financed these acquisitions with fixed rate deed of trust loans
totaling $38.1 million and short term borrowings.
In December 1997 and January 1998, we issued 2.7 million shares of our
common stock through a common stock offering. We applied the approximately $34.9
million net proceeds of the offering to retire or pay down existing debt.
During 1999 we issued 29,000 shares of our common stock through our
Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan. During 1998 and 1997, we issued
78,000 shares of our common stock through the DRIP Plan. In addition, during
1998 and 1997, we issued 125,000 shares of our common stock to affiliates for
additional consideration and to retire debt related to previous acquisitions.
During 1999, 1998 and 1997, we issued 1.7 million Operating Partnership
units in conjunction with acquisitions of apartment communities. Under the terms
of the acquisition agreement for a community that is currently under
construction, we will issue up to 140,000 units. Holders of Operating
Partnership units will generally be able to redeem their units for cash or, at
our option, for shares of our common stock on a one-for-one basis after one year
following issuance.
21
We intend to pursue our growth strategy through the utilization of our
flexible capital structure. This may include the issuance of Operating
Partnership units, common stock and/or preferred stock, additional debt, and
joint venture investments. We may use our lines of credit or fixed rate, long
term debt to acquire apartment communities.
Cash Flows and Liquidity
Net cash flows from operating activities were $10.9 million in 1999,
compared to $9.4 million in 1998 and $5.0 million in 1997. These increases
reflect our growth in apartment operations. Investing and financing activities
focused primarily on apartment acquisitions and capital expenditures at
apartment communities, along with payments of dividends and distributions.
We capitalize expenditures to acquire new assets, to materially enhance
the value of existing assets, or to substantially extend the useful life of
existing assets. All floor covering, appliance, and HVAC replacements, as well
as major capital maintenance expenditures are capitalized. We have generally
funded additions to apartment properties from cash provided by operating
activities and proceeds of common stock issued through our DRIP Plan.
We paid dividends of $0.31 per share per quarter in each quarter of
1999, 1998 and 1997. Our dividend payout ratio (the ratio of dividends paid to
funds from operations) was 86.6% in 1999, 85.5% in 1998, and 80.2% in 1997. We
intend to pay dividends quarterly, expect that these dividends will
substantially exceed the 95% distribution requirement for REITs, and anticipate
that all dividends will be paid from current funds from operations.
Short- and Long term Liquidity Requirements
At December 31, 1999, total long term debt was $150.9 million,
including $116.6 million of notes payable at fixed interest rates ranging from
6.345% to 8.55%, and $34.3 million at variable rates indexed on 30-day LIBOR
rates. The weighted average interest rate on debt outstanding was 7.2% at
December 31, 1999, and at December 31, 1998. A 1% fluctuation in variable
interest rates would increase or decrease our annual interest expense by
approximately $348,000.
A summary of scheduled principal payments on long term debt is included
in the notes to the financial statements in this Annual Report. Significant
scheduled balloon payments include maturities of:
o our line of credit secured by deeds of trust and assignment of rents of
44 restaurants, due January 2002 (up to $23.872 million, $20.95 million
outstanding at December 31, 1999);
o our line of credit secured by a deed of trust and assignment of rents of an
apartment community, due December 2004 (up to $18.0 million, $12.7 million
outstanding at December 31, 1999).
We continue to produce sufficient cash flow to fund our regular
dividend. However, any number of unforeseen events, or a combination of such
events (for example, a substantial decline in apartment operations, a
substantial increase in short term interest rates, or the sale of the restaurant
properties or other assets), might necessitate a reduction in the current
dividend.
We generally expect to meet our short term liquidity requirements
through net cash provided by operations and utilization of credit facilities. We
believe that net cash provided by operations is, and will continue to be,
adequate to meet the REIT operating requirements in both the short and the long
term. We anticipate funding our future acquisition activities primarily by using
short term credit facilities as an interim measure, to be replaced by funds from
equity offerings, long term debt, or joint venture investments. We expect to
meet our long term liquidity requirements, such as scheduled debt maturities and
repayment of short term financing of possible property acquisitions, through
long term secured and
22
unsecured borrowings and the issuance of debt securities or additional equity
securities. We believe we have sufficient resources to meet our short term
liquidity requirements.
We received approximately 13.0% of our revenue in 1999, compared to
16.6% in 1998 and 27.7% in 1997, from Enterprises' payment of rent for the use
of our restaurant properties. In addition, Enterprises is responsible for all of
the costs associated with the maintenance and operations of these properties.
Over time, we expect that restaurant rental income will continue to represent a
decreasing percentage of our total revenue. However, we expect that restaurant
rent will exceed 10% of our revenue in 2000.
Under our current line of credit agreement, Enterprises has the right
to purchase, under specified terms, up to four additional restaurants deemed to
be "non-economic" for no less than net carrying value. The annual minimum rent
would be reduced by approximately $96,000 for each restaurant. We would receive
sale proceeds of the greater of net carrying value or fair value. As of December
31, 1999, the average net book value of the restaurant properties was
approximately $710,000. We would most likely apply sale proceeds to reduce
outstanding debt on our line of credit. In March 2000, we received notification
of Enterprises' intention to purchase one additional restaurant property
effective June 19, 2000.
Enterprises is a privately owned company with total assets exceeding
$240 million and net equity of approximately $80 million. Enterprises' principal
line of business is the operation of approximately 330 Hardee's restaurants. We
have had extensive discussions with management of Enterprises and have reviewed
Enterprises' financial statements, cash flow analysis, restaurant contribution
analysis, sales trend analysis and projections. We believe that Enterprises will
have sufficient liquidity and capital resources to meet its obligations under
the master lease as well as its general corporate operating needs.
Inflation
We do not believe that inflation poses a material risk to the company.
The leases at our apartment properties are short term in nature. None are longer
than two years. The restaurant properties are leased on a triple-net basis,
which places the risk of rising operating and maintenance costs on the lessee.
Environmental Matters
Phase I environmental studies performed on the apartment communities
when we acquired each of them did not identify any problems that we believe
would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, liquidity or
capital resources. Environmental transaction screens for each of the restaurant
properties in 1995 did not indicate existence of any environmental problems that
warranted further investigation. Enterprises has indemnified us for
environmental problems associated with the restaurant properties under the
master lease.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. This
Statement, as amended by Statement No. 137, must be adopted in years beginning
after June 15, 2000. The Statement will require the recognition of all
derivatives on our consolidated balance sheet at fair value. We do not
anticipate that the adoption of this Statement will have a material impact on
our results of operations or financial position.
Year 2000 Issue
The Year 2000 issue refers to the inability of certain computer systems to
accurately store and use dates after 1999. We experienced no problems or
disruption of operations in the rollover from 1999 to the year
23
2000. To date there has been no indication of any significant Year 2000 issue
with regard to our operations or computer information system.
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
A summary of long term debt as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, is
included in the notes to the financial statements in this Annual Report. At
December 31, 1999, total long term debt was $150.9 million, including $116.6
million notes payable at fixed interest rates ranging from 6.35% to 8.55%, and
$34.3 million at variable rates indexed on 30-day LIBOR rates. The weighted
average interest rate on debt outstanding was 7.2% at December 31, 1999, and at
December 31, 1998. A 1% change in variable interest rates would increase or
decrease our annual interest expense by approximately $348,000.
The table below provides information about our long term debt
instruments and presents expected principal maturities and related weighted
average interest rates on those instruments (all amounts in thousands):
Expected maturity dates
2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 Later Total
----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- -----------
Fixed rate notes $ 346 $ 375 $ 406 $ 439 $ 475 $114,548 $116,589
Average interest rate 7.74% 7.75% 7.75% 7.76% 7.76% 7.04% 7.05%
Variable rate notes 625 - 20,950 - 12,719 - 34,294
Average interest rate 8.17% 7.67% 7.92% 7.77%
We estimate the fair value of fixed rate and variable rate notes using
discounted cash flow analysis, based on our current incremental borrowing rates
for similar types of borrowing arrangements. The fair value of our notes payable
at December 31, 1999, totaled approximately $143.6 million.

Report of Independent Auditors
Board of Directors and Stockholders
Boddie-Noell Properties, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Boddie-Noell
Properties, Inc. as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the related consolidated
statements of income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended December 31, 1999. Our audits also included the
financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 14(a). These financial
statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and
schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Boddie-Noell
Properties, Inc. at December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the consolidated results of
its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 1999, in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States. Also, in our opinion, the related financial
statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial
statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the
information set forth therein.

BODDIE-NOELL PROPERTIES, INC.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 1999
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of presentation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Boddie-Noell
Properties, Inc. (the "company") and Boddie-Noell Properties Limited Partnership
(the "Operating Partnership"). The company is the general partner and owns a
majority interest in the Operating Partnership. All significant intercompany
balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial
statements.
We are a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust
("REIT") that owns and operates apartment communities in North Carolina and
Virginia. On December 31, 1999, we owned 15 apartment communities containing
3,440 apartments and had the right to acquire one additional apartment community
containing 108 apartment units. We also own 44 restaurant properties, which we
lease to Boddie-Noell Enterprises, Inc. ("Enterprises") under a master lease on
a triple-net basis.
The Operating Partnership has a 1% voting interest and 95% economic interest in
BNP Management, Inc. (the "Management Company"). We use the equity method to
account for this investment. The Management Company currently manages four
apartment communities, containing 891 apartment units, which are owned by other
parties. We do not expect the operations of the Management Company to have a
significant impact on our financial position, operating results or cash flows.
UpREIT Structure
In 1997 we converted to an UpREIT structure where the company is the Operating
Partnership's sole general partner. UpREIT stands for "umbrella partnership real
estate investment trust." We contributed our real estate properties and all
other assets and liabilities to a limited liability company wholly owned by the
Operating Partnership in exchange for ownership units of the Operating
Partnership. We currently own approximately 77% of the units. Other unitholders
will generally be able to redeem their units for cash or, at our option as
general partner, for shares of common stock of the company on a one-for-one
basis. UpREITs are generally structured so that distributions of cash from the
Operating Partnership are allocated between the REIT and the limited partners
based on their respective unit ownership.
Segment Reporting
Operating segments are revenue-producing components of the company for which
separate financial information is produced internally for our management. Under
this definition, we operated, for all periods presented, as a single segment
(apartment operations). Operating expenses for restaurant properties are
insignificant because the lessee pays virtually all of the expenses associated
with those properties.
Real Estate Investments
Real estate investments are stated at the lower of cost, less accumulated
depreciation, or fair value. We compute depreciation using the straight-line
method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, generally 40 years
for buildings, 20 years for land improvements, 10 years for fixtures and
equipment, and five years for carpet and vinyl replacements. We expense ordinary
repairs and maintenance costs at apartment communities. We capitalize
significant improvements, renovations and replacements at apartment communities.
Costs of repairs and maintenance and capital improvements at restaurant
properties are borne by Enterprises.
33
We evaluate our real estate assets from time to time, or upon occurrence of
significant adverse changes in operations, to assess whether any impairment
indicators are present that affect the recovery of the recorded value. If we
considered any real estate assets to be impaired, we would record a loss to
reduce the carrying value of the property to its estimated fair value. At
December 31, 1999 and 1998, none of our assets were considered impaired.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
We consider all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or
less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
Deferred Costs
We amortize the intangible asset related to the 1994 acquisition of management
operations using the straight-line method over ten years. Accumulated
amortization on this asset was approximately $1.8 million at December 31, 1999,
and $1.4 million at December 31, 1998.
We defer costs incurred in connection with proposed acquisition of properties
and stock offerings until the proposed transactions are consummated. If we
determine that the proposed transaction is not probable, we charge these costs
to expense.
We defer financing costs and amortize them using the straight-line method over
the terms of the related notes. If we pay down or pay off notes prior to their
maturity, we write off the related unamortized financing costs. Accumulated
amortization on these assets was $257,000 at December 31, 1999, and $305,000 at
December 31, 1998.
Fair Values of Financial Instruments
The carrying amount reported on the balance sheet for cash and cash equivalents
approximates fair value.
We estimate the fair value of fixed rate notes and variable rate notes payable
using discounted cash flow analysis, based on our current incremental borrowing
rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements. The fair value of our
mortgage and other notes payable at December 31, 1999, totaled approximately
$143.6 million.
Use of Estimates
We are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts
reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes in order to prepare
them in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Depreciation
amounts included in these financial statements reflect our estimate of the life
and related depreciation rates for rental properties. In addition, the carrying
amount of the intangible asset related to acquisition of management operations
reflects our evaluation of the continuing value and useful life of this asset.
Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Revenue Recognition
We record rental and other revenue as they are earned.
Advertising Costs
We expense advertising costs as they are incurred. Advertising expense totaled
$270,000 in 1999, $211,000 in 1998, and $101,000 in 1997.
Stock-Based Compensation
We measure compensation cost for stock option plans in accordance with
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for our fixed
stock option plans.
34
Income Taxes
We operate as, and elect to be taxed as, a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code.
Accordingly, we will not be subject to federal or state income taxes on amounts
distributed to shareholders, provided we distribute at least 95% of our REIT
taxable income and meet certain other requirements for qualifying as a REIT. We
have made no provision for federal or state income taxes.
Earnings Per Share
We calculate earnings per share based on the weighted average number of shares
outstanding during each year.
Comprehensive Income
Comprehensive income is defined as changes in shareholders' equity exclusive of
transactions with owners (such as capital contributions and dividends). We did
not have any comprehensive income items in 1999, 1998, or 1997, other than net
income as reported.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 133,
Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. This statement, as
amended by Statement No. 137, must be adopted in years beginning after June 15,
2000. The Statement will require the recognition of all derivatives on our
consolidated balance sheet at fair value. We do not anticipate that the adoption
of this Statement will have a material impact on our results of operations or
financial position.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the 1998 and 1997 financial statements have been reclassified
to conform to the 1999 presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on
net income, shareholders' equity or cash flows as previously reported.

================= =================
We acquired 10 of our 15 apartment communities during 1999, 1998, and 1997. The
results of operations of these apartment communities are included in the
financial statements from the dates of acquisition, as follows:
1999 acquisition:
o Chason Ridge Apartments acquired effective January 1, 1999, for a total
cost of approximately $12.5 million, including cash payments totaling
approximately $1.8 million and assumption of debt.
35
1998 acquisitions:
o Woods Edge Apartments acquired effective June 1, 1998, for a total cost of
approximately $14.1 million, including cash payments totaling approximately
$2.4 million, issuance of Operating Partnership units with an imputed value
of $2.7 million, and assumption of debt.
o Oak Hollow Apartments acquired effective July 27, 1998, for a total cost of
approximately $12.3 million, including cash payments totaling approximately
$2.4 million, issuance of Operating Partnership units with an imputed value
of $1.5 million, and assumption of debt.
o Madison Hall Apartments acquired effective August 22, 1998, for a total
cost of approximately $6.4 million, including cash payments totaling
approximately $5.3 million and issuance of Operating Partnership units with
an imputed value of $1.1 million
o Summerlyn Place Apartments acquired effective September 2, 1998, for a
total cost of approximately $10.4 million, including cash payments of
approximately $9.1 million and issuance of Operating Partnership units with
an imputed value of $1.3 million.
o Allerton Place Apartments acquired effective September 9, 1998, for a total
cost of approximately $16.0 million, including cash payments totaling
approximately $14.7 million and issuance of Operating Partnership units
with an imputed value of $1.3 million.
1997 acquisitions:
o Abbington Place Apartments, Pepperstone Apartments, Savannah Place
Apartments and Waterford Place Apartments acquired effective December 1,
1997, for a total cost of approximately $60.9 million, including cash
payments totaling approximately $45.9 million and issuance of Operating
Partnership units with an imputed value of $15.0 million.
In June 1999, we sold three restaurant properties to the lessee (who is an
affiliate) for their net carrying value of approximately $2.1 million. We
applied the proceeds from this sale to reduce our line of credit that is secured
by the restaurant properties.
The following unaudited pro forma summary information does not include the
operations, depreciation, or financing expense for Madison Hall, Summerlyn
Place, or Allerton Place until their respective acquisition dates in 1998
because these communities were acquired immediately upon their attainment of
"stabilized" status. In addition, the unaudited pro forma summary information
does not include the operations, depreciation, or financing expense for
Waterford Place Apartments and the second phase of Abbington Place Apartments
until these properties reached "stabilized" status in October 1997. An apartment
community is considered stabilized when construction of all buildings has been
completed and the community has attained 90% occupancy for 90 days. Under the
terms of the acquisition agreements for these properties and the financing for
their purchases, these conditions must be met before purchase of the property.
Otherwise, the unaudited pro forma summary information presents the results of
operations as if the acquisitions described above had occurred on January 1 of
each year presented. These pro forma amounts may not represent how we would have
performed if these purchases had really occurred on those dates. In addition,
they do not purport to project our results of operations for any future period.

including principal and interest at rates ranging from
6.87% to 8.55%, with maturities in 2005 through 2034.
Secured by deeds of trust and assignment of rents
of four apartment communities. 32,223,517 35,571,309

1999 1998
------------------ ------------------
Notes payable comprised of 10 loans, interest rates ranging

installments totaling approximately $478,000, with maturities
in 2007 and 2008. Secured by deeds of trust and assignment of
rents of 10 apartment communities. 84,365,500 84,365,500
------------------ ------------------
$150,883,348 $140,523,621
================== ==================
As of December 31, 1999, scheduled principal payments were approximately as
follows: 2000 - $971,000; 2001 - $375,000; 2002 - $21,356,000; 2003 - $439,000;
2004 - $13,194,000; thereafter - $114,548,000.
During 1999 we modified and expanded our lines of credit with a bank. We
modified our line of credit secured by our restaurant properties to extend the
maturity date to January 2002. Also, in conjunction with the sale of three
restaurants, we reduced this line of credit to a maximum of $23.9 million. We
executed a line of credit arrangement secured by one of our apartment
communities and applied a $12.7 million initial draw on this line to retire a
deed of trust loan related to Latitudes Apartments.
In conjunction with the acquisition of Chason Ridge Apartments in January 1999,
we assumed a HUD-insured loan in the amount of $9.7 million, payable in monthly
installments of $72,000 including principal and interest at 8.5%. In addition,
the note provides for payment of mortgage insurance with a premium of 0.5% of
the loan balance. A deed of trust and assignment of rents of Chason Ridge
Apartments secure the loan. The interest rate on this loan exceeded current
market rates at the time of the acquisition, and the note may not be prepaid
until January 2005. Accordingly, the seller gave a $1.0 million credit for
defeasance of above-market interest, which we will apply to reduce recorded
interest expense monthly through 2004.
In January 1998, we applied $1.9 million proceeds from a common stock offering
to pay off the outstanding balance of our line of credit with a bank. In
conjunction with this payoff, we wrote off unamortized loan costs of $17,000. In
March 1998, we applied $7.0 million proceeds from a fixed rate deed of trust
loan and operating cash to retire an $8.5 million variable rate mortgage note
secured by deeds of trust on and assignment of rents of three apartment
communities. In conjunction with this refinancing, we wrote off unamortized loan
costs of $43,000. We have reflected these write-offs, net of minority interests'
share, in the financial statements as an extraordinary item.
In December 1997, we applied proceeds of a common stock offering to retire an
$8.8 million unsecured loan, to retire a $1.4 million variable rate second deed
of trust, and to pay down $22.0 million of our line of credit with a bank. In
conjunction with these prepayments, we wrote off unamortized loan costs of
$227,000. We have reflected these write-offs, net of minority interests' share,
in the financial statements as an extraordinary item.
Interest payments were as follows:
1999 1998 1997
--------------- --------------- ---------------
Payments to affiliates $ 239,484 $ 482,750 $ 505,728
Payments to other lenders 10,730,979 7,579,941 5,799,841

$10,970,463 $8,062,691 $6,305,569
=============== =============== ===============
The loan agreements related to the lines of credit include covenants and
restrictions relating to, among other things, specified levels of debt service
coverage, leverage and net worth. To date, we have met all applicable
requirements.

Note 4. Shareholders' Equity
Authorized Capital Stock
Our bylaws and certificate of incorporation allow the Board of Directors to
authorize the issuance of up to 100 million shares of common stock and 10
million shares of preferred stock, issuable in series whose characteristics
would be set by the Board of Directors. No preferred shares have been issued.
Approximately 2.6 million authorized shares of common stock are reserved for
future issuance under the company's Stock Option and Incentive Plan, Dividend
Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan, and for conversion of Operating
Partnership units issued for acquisitions of apartment communities.
Common Stock Offering
In December 1997, we completed a common stock offering and issued 2,500,000
shares of common stock at a price of $14.125 per share. Net proceeds of the
offering were approximately $32.3 million. In January 1998, the underwriters
exercised their over-allotment option for 200,000 shares, and we received
additional proceeds of $2.6 million.
Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan
Our Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan ("DRIP Plan") allows the
company, at its option, to issue shares directly to Plan participants. We issued
29,020 shares in 1999, 38,069 shares in 1998, and 39,828 shares in 1997 through
the Plan.
Dividend Payments
We paid dividend distributions totaling $1.24 per share each year during 1999,
1998, and 1997. The allocation between non-taxable return of capital and taxable
ordinary dividend income to shareholders was as follows.
1999 1998 1997
----------- ----------- -----------
Non-taxable return of capital 49.7% 44.8% 45.8%
Taxable ordinary dividend income 50.3% 55.2% 54.2%
Earnings per Common Share
We calculated basic and diluted earnings per share using the following amounts.

(1) Assumes conversion of Operating Partnership units to common shares; minority
interest in income before extraordinary item and minority interest in
extraordinary item have been eliminated.
(2) We did not include any of the options outstanding during 1999 in the
calculation of diluted earnings per share for 1999. In addition, we excluded
options to purchase 120,000 shares of common stock at $13.125, and options to
purchase 60,000 shares of common stock at $11.25, that were outstanding during
1998, from the calculation of diluted earnings per share for 1998. The exercise
price of these options was greater than the average market price of the common
shares for these periods, and the effect would be anti-dilutive.
Stock Option and Incentive Plan
We have reserved 570,000 shares of the company's common stock for issuance under
our employee Stock Option and Incentive Plan. Options have been granted to
employees at prices equal to the fair market value of the stock on the dates the
options were granted or repriced. Options are generally exercisable in four
annual installments beginning one year after the date of grant, and expire 10
years after the date of grant.

December 31, 1999.

Note 5. Rental Operations
Apartment Properties
We lease our residential apartments under operating leases with monthly payments
due in advance. Terms of the apartment leases are generally one year or less,
with none longer than two years.
Restaurant Properties - Master Lease Agreement
The lease agreement with Enterprises has a primary term expiring in December
2007, but grants Enterprises three five-year renewal options. Enterprises pays
annual rent equal to the greater of the specified minimum rent or 9.875% of food
sales from the restaurants. Under certain conditions as defined in the
agreement, both Enterprises and the company have the right to substitute another
restaurant property for a property covered by the lease. After December 31,
2007, Enterprises has the right to terminate the lease on up to five restaurant
properties per year by offering to purchase them under specified terms. In
addition, we entered into a separate agreement with Enterprises that, after
December 31, 1997, allows Enterprises to purchase, under specified terms, up to
seven restaurant properties deemed to be non-economic.
In June 1999, we sold three restaurants to Boddie-Noell Enterprises, the lessee,
under the non-economic clause of the restaurant master lease. Under the terms of
this clause, the lessee may close up to seven restaurants and buy them back for
no less than net carrying value. Following the sale of these properties, the
annual minimum rent on the remaining 44 restaurants was approximately $4.3
million in 1999, and $4.2 million per year thereafter, compared to $4.5 million
minimum rent on 47 restaurants in 1998 and 1997.
The lease requires Enterprises to pay monthly installments of minimum rent and
quarterly payments calculated based on the percentage rent, subject to an annual
calculation of the greater of minimum or percentage rent. We received the
minimum rent in 1999, 1998, and 1997.
41
Note 6. Related Party Transactions
Certain directors and officers of the company hold similar positions with
Enterprises and Boddie Investment Company. We purchased 47 restaurant properties
from BNE Realty Partners, Limited Partnership (an affiliate of Enterprises) for
$43.2 million in 1987. We derived approximately 13.0% of our revenue in 1999
from Enterprises' payment of rent for the use of our restaurant properties. In
addition, Enterprises is responsible for all taxes, utilities, renovations,
insurance and maintenance expenses relating to the operation of the restaurant
properties.
Certain current and former directors of the company were the sole shareholders
and directors of BT Venture Corporation. In October 1994, we acquired BT Venture
Corporation for cash, 134,610 shares of our common stock and relief from certain
debt and other obligations, for a total value of approximately $23.2 million. In
addition, we recorded additional consideration totaling $1.7 million through
1997 related to this acquisition. We paid the additional consideration by
issuing a total of 130,568 shares of common stock during 1994 through 1998.
In connection with the acquisition of BT Venture Corporation, we assumed a note
payable to Enterprises in the amount of $6,100,000 and a note payable to Boddie
Investment Company in the amount of $956,000. In May 1998, we issued 65,648
shares of our common stock to retire the note payable to Boddie Investment
Company. In May 1999, we retired the note payable to Enterprises with a cash
payment.
In September 1997, we signed an agreement to acquire a portfolio of seven
apartment communities. We refer to these acquisitions as the "Chrysson
acquisitions" and to the former owners as the "Chrysson Parties." Certain
current directors of the company were shareholders and officers in the Chrysson
Parties. We have issued 1,349,954 Operating Partnership units through December
31, 1999, in conjunction with acquisitions of six of the apartment communities.
We will issue approximately 139,000 units to acquire one remaining Chrysson
apartment community when it has reached certain performance standards specified
in the agreement.
In February 1997, we signed a participating loan agreement with The Villages of
Chapel Hill Limited Partnership, a limited partnership whose general partner is
Boddie Investment Company. Under the terms of the agreement, we committed to
loan The Villages up to $2,625,000 to fund a substantial rehabilitation of its
apartment community. We also guaranteed a $1,500,000 bank loan. In exchange we
receive minimum interest on our loan at the greater of 12.5% or the 30-day LIBOR
rate plus 6.125%. We also receive 25% participation in increased rental revenue
for seven years and 25% participation in the increase in value of the property
at the end of seven years or upon its sale. Through December 31, 1998, we
advanced $2.5 million under the loan agreement. In February 1999, The Villages
reduced the outstanding principal balance of its note payable to us to $625,000.
We applied the $1.9 million proceeds to reduce our variable rate note payable to
a bank to $625,000. We received interest and participation income of $151,000 in
1999, $323,000 in 1998, and $120,000 in 1997. In addition, we received guarantee
fees of $37,500 in 1999, 1998, and 1997.
We have made loans totaling $180,000 to certain officers of the company. In
addition, the company has guaranteed a note payable to a bank by one officer by
agreeing to redeem up to 39,570 shares of our common stock at an imputed value
of approximately $435,000 in the event of a default.
Certain officers of the company are also officers of the Management Company and
own a 5% economic interest and a 99% voting interest in it. The Management
Company provides fee management for five limited partnerships whose general
partner is Boddie Investment Company.

Note 7. Profit Sharing Plan
The employees of the company are participants in a profit sharing plan pursuant
to Section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code. We make limited matching
contributions through the Management Company based on the level of employee
participation as defined.
Note 8. Commitments and Contingencies
We have agreements with three of our executive officers that provide for cash
compensation and other benefits if we terminate them without cause or if a
change in control of the company occurs.
The company is a party to a variety of legal proceedings arising in the ordinary
course of its business. We believe that such matters will not have a material
effect on the financial position of the company.
