PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

Company Profile

Boddie-Noell Properties, Inc. (the "Company") is a self-advised and self-managed
equity real estate investment trust ("REIT"). The Company, formerly known as
Boddie-Noell Restaurant Properties, Inc., was formed in 1987 and currently has
3,102,983 shares of common stock outstanding and approximately 5,000
shareholders (including beneficial owners). The Company's shares are listed on
the American Stock Exchange, trading under the symbol "BNP". Its executive
offices are located at 3710 One First Union Center, Charlotte, North Carolina
28202-6032 (704-333-1367).

History and Development of Boddie-Noell Properties, Inc.

From its inception through 1992 the Company's investment strategy was limited to
the ownership of 47 restaurant properties leased on a triple net basis to
Boddie-Noell Enterprises, Inc. ("Enterprises"), a Hardee's franchisee. During
this period the Company operated as an externally advised REIT with all
management and administrative functions being performed by an affiliate of
Enterprises under an advisory contract. These investments provided for a
relatively stable record of revenue and cash flow. In order to enhance
shareholder value and provide for growth in funds from operations ("FFO"), the
Company began in 1993 to diversify its investments into multi-family residential
properties.

In June 1993 the Company purchased its first apartment property, Paces Commons,
a 336-unit apartment community in Matthews, North Carolina (a suburb of
Charlotte). In June 1994 the Company acquired Oakbrook, a 162-unit apartment
community in Charlotte, North Carolina. In October 1994 it acquired BT Venture
Corporation ("BTVC"), an integrated real estate management, development and
acquisition company that owned one apartment community (Latitudes) and managed
12 additional apartment communities (including two owned by the Company) and
three retail shopping centers. Latitudes is a 448-unit apartment community
located in Virginia Beach, Virginia. In December 1994 the Company acquired
Harris Hill, a 184-unit apartment community in Charlotte, North Carolina. In
April 1996 the Company acquired Paces Village, a 198-unit apartment community in
Greensboro, North Carolina.

Current Operations

The Company now owns five apartment communities containing a total of 1,328
apartments and 47 restaurant properties. Through its unconsolidated subsidiary,
BNP Management, Inc., the Company manages an additional nine apartment
communities containing a total of 1,713 apartments and two shopping centers
containing a total of 113,800 square feet. All of the properties presently owned
or managed by the Company are located in the states of North Carolina and
Virginia, with multi-family residential operations in the North Carolina cities
of Raleigh, Durham, Cary, Chapel Hill, Greensboro and Charlotte, as well as
Virginia Beach, Virginia.

The Company has 86 employees, including administrative, management, accounting,
legal, acquisitions, development, property management, leasing and maintenance
personnel, and operates as a self-advised and self-managed REIT.

Each apartment community is operated by an on-site manager assisted by staff
trained by the Company in sales, management, accounting, maintenance and other
procedures. On-site managers report directly to property managers who operate
from the Company's corporate offices. This flat organization provides for
efficient staffing levels, reduces overhead expenses and enables the Company to
be responsive to the needs of residents and on-site employees. Employees of the
Company supervise all renovation and repair activities, which are generally
completed by outside contractors.

3


Restaurant properties are leased on a triple net basis to Enterprises, a
privately held company, which is the second largest Hardee's franchisee in the
United States with approximately 360 stores. The Company's lease agreement with
Enterprises (the "master lease"), as amended in December 1995, has a primary
term expiring December 2007, grants Enterprises three five-year renewal options
and provides for rent equal to 9.875 percent of restaurant sales as defined,
subject to a minimum annual rent of $4,500,000 per year. Under the terms of the
master lease, Enterprises is responsible for all aspects of the operation,
maintenance and upkeep of the restaurant properties.

Business Strategy

Building upon the acquisition of its five apartment communities and BTVC, the
Company intends to continue to invest in additional apartment communities in the
southeastern United States. The Company will selectively consider opportunities
for development of new apartment communities and the acquisition and
rehabilitation of older apartment communities. Management believes that its
development and redevelopment experience will enable it to build additional
apartment communities and to rehabilitate existing communities when economic
conditions and available capital make such opportunities attractive.

In evaluating potential properties for acquisition, the Company will consider
such factors as:
- - the current and anticipated cash flow of the property, its adequacy to meet
operational needs and other obligations, and its impact on the Company's ability
to pay dividends;
- - the geographic area and demographic profile;
- - the location, construction quality, condition and design of the property;
- - the potential for increasing cash flow by means of increasing rental rates and
reducing operating expenses;
- - the potential for capital appreciation;
- - the growth, tax and regulatory environment of the community in which the
property is located;
- - occupancy and demand for the property;
- - and prospects for eventual sale or refinancing.
Generally an apartment property will be acquired only where the operating
history indicates that the property will contribute immediately to the cash flow
of the Company and there is a strong likelihood of increasing cash flow.

Prior to acquiring its first apartment community, the Company's capital
requirements were minimal as all capital expenses related to the restaurants
were borne by Enterprises under the terms of the master lease. In order to
acquire BTVC and its five apartment communities, the Company has incurred
additional debt and issued additional common stock. The additional debt consists
of mortgages secured by the acquired apartment communities and draws against the
Company's credit lines. In order for the Company to continue to acquire
apartment properties, it is essential that it obtain additional equity capital.
The Company is actively exploring available sources of equity capital. It is
likely that the Company will incur additional long-term debt as part of any
apartment acquisitions. While short-term variable rate debt may be used to
facilitate an acquisition, the preferred permanent financing will be long-term
and fixed rate.

The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. As such the Company generally
will not be subject to federal or state income taxes on net income. REITs are
subject to a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a
requirement that they currently distribute at least 95 percent of their ordinary
taxable income as dividends. The Company intends to pay dividends quarterly,
expects that these dividends will substantially exceed the 95 percent taxable
income test, and anticipates that all dividends will be paid from current funds
from operations.

In addition to the 95 percent taxable income test, the Company is subject to a
"non-qualifying" income test which requires that no more than 5 percent of total
revenue come from sources deemed to be "non-qualifying." Failure to comply with
this requirement may result in the loss of the Company's REIT status. Revenue
from third-party property management contracts assumed at the acquisition of
BTVC in 1994 is considered to be non-qualifying income. To ensure that
non-qualifying income did not exceed 5 percent of its total revenue, in May 1995
the Company transferred the third-party management contracts to a newly formed
unconsolidated taxable subsidiary, BNP Management, Inc. This structure is
currently being used by a number of other REITs.

4


The Company generally expects to meet its short-term liquidity requirements
through net cash provided by operations and utilization of credit facilities.
Management believes that net cash provided by operations is, and will continue
to be, adequate to meet both operating requirements and payment of dividends by
the Company in accordance with REIT requirements in both the short- and the long
term. The Company anticipates funding its acquisition activities, if any,
primarily by using short-term credit facilities or secured long-term debt. The
Company expects to meet certain of its long-term liquidity requirements, such as
scheduled debt maturities and repayment of short-term financing of possible
property acquisitions, through long-term secured and unsecured borrowings and
the issuance of debt securities or additional equity securities of the Company.
The Company believes that it has sufficient resources to meet its short- and
long-term liquidity requirements.

Restaurant Properties

The locations of the Company's 47 restaurant properties are listed in Schedule
III included in Item 14 of this Annual Report. The restaurant properties are
leased on a triple net basis to Enterprises pursuant to a master lease. The
master lease, as amended in December 1995, provides for a primary term expiring
December 2007, grants Enterprises three five-year renewal options, and provides
for rent equal to 9.875 percent of restaurant sales as defined, subject to a
minimum annual rent of $4,500,000. The average price for the restaurant
properties was approximately $920,000 per property.

The restaurant properties are operated by Enterprises as Hardee's restaurants
pursuant to franchise agreements. These agreements require that the properties
conform to a standard design specified by Hardee's Food Systems, Inc.
("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 3,300 square feet and are located on sites ranging
from 1 to 1.3 acres. The buildings are suitable for conversion to a number of
uses, but the interiors must be substantially modified prior to utilization 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.

Under the terms of the master lease, 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. 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
renovations are made at Enterprises' expense.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company is a party to a variety of legal proceedings arising in the ordinary
course of its business. In addition, the Company has become a successor
party-in-interest to certain legal proceedings as a result of its acquisition of
BTVC. These matters arose in the ordinary course of BTVC's business either as an
owner of an apartment community or as a property management company. All of
these matters, individually and in aggregate, are not expected to have a
material adverse impact on the Company.

In the event a claim were successful, the Company believes that it is adequately
covered by insurance and indemnification agreements. The Company has insurance
coverage on each of its apartment properties. The Company's 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 on each restaurant
property which identifies the Company as a named insured. Each apartment
property which is managed, but not owned, by the Company is covered by an
insurance policy under which the Company is a named insured. As to claims to
which the Company has become a successor party-in-interest to BTVC, the Company
received, as part of the acquisition of BTVC, an indemnification agreement from
the shareholders of BTVC whereby the Company is, subject to certain limitations,
indemnified from loss arising out of a claim against BTVC.

From its inception through 1992 the Company's investment strategy was limited to
the purchase and ownership of 47 restaurant properties leased on a triple net
basis. In June 1993 the Company acquired Paces Commons Apartments, a 336-unit
apartment community. In June 1994 the Company acquired Oakbrook Apartments, a
162-unit apartment community. In October 1994 the Company acquired by merger BT
Venture Corporation ("BTVC"), including a fully integrated apartment management
and development operation and Latitudes Apartments, a 448-unit apartment
community. In December 1994 the Company acquired Harris Hill Apartments, a
184-unit apartment community. In April 1996 the Company acquired Paces Village
Apartments, a 198-unit apartment community. (See discussion of History and
Development of Boddie-Noell Properties, Inc. included in Item 1 of this Annual
Report.)

(1) 1995, 1994 and 1993 net income includes a special charge of $321,000,
$377,000 and $600,000, respectively, to write off certain acquisition costs.
Significantly all of these costs arose in 1992 and 1993 in conjunction with the
"roll-up" transaction the Company began in 1993 and ultimately abandoned in
December 1995.

(2) Funds from operations ("FFO") 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 (losses) from debt
restructuring and sales of property, plus depreciation and amortization, and
after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures."
Management considers FFO to be useful in evaluating potential property
acquisitions and measuring the operating performance of an equity REIT because,
together with net income and cash flows, FFO provides investors with an
additional basis to evaluate the ability of the REIT to incur and service debt
and to fund acquisitions and other capital expenditures. FFO does not represent
net income or cash flows from operations as defined by generally accepted
accounting principles ("GAAP"), and FFO should not be considered as an
alternative to net income as an indicator of the Company's operating performance
or as an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. FFO does not
measure whether cash flow


10


is sufficient to fund all of the Company's cash needs, including principal
amortization, capital improvements and distributions to shareholders. FFO does
not represent cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities as
defined by GAAP. Further, FFO as disclosed by other REITs may not be comparable
to the Company's calculation of FFO.

In 1995 NAREIT issued additional guidance for interpretation of the definition
of FFO which provides that only depreciation and amortization of real estate
assets should be added back to net income in calculating FFO. At December 31,
1995, the Company adopted this interpretation and restated FFO amounts
previously reported. The following table reflects the effect of this change in
definition and reconciles FFO as previously defined to FFO amounts identified
above.

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. Although management believes that the expectations
reflected in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable
assumptions, there are certain factors such as general economic conditions,
local real estate conditions, or weather conditions that might cause a
difference between actual results and those forward-looking statements. This
discussion should be read in conjunction with the Balance Sheets, Statements of
Operations and Statements of Cash Flows included in Item 14 of this Annual
Report.

Results of Operations

Revenues. The Company's revenues come from two primary sources - apartment
rental income and restaurant rental income. Revenues in 1996 were $14.5 million,
an increase of 6 percent over 1995, primarily attributable to the impact of the
acquisition of Paces Village Apartments in April 1996. (Paces Village generated
apartment rental income of $1.0 million in eight months of 1996.) Revenues in
1995 were $13.7 million, an increase of 48 percent over 1994, again primarily
attributable to the impact of 1994 apartment acquisitions and continued
improvements in apartment operations. Apartment rental income accounted for 67
percent of total revenues in 1996 compared to 62 percent and 42 percent in 1995
and 1994, respectively, indicative of the Company's focus on growth and
improvement in apartment operations. Increases in income attributable to
apartment operations were offset somewhat by declines in restaurant rental
income in 1996 and 1995 and the creation of a property management subsidiary in
May 1995.

Income from Company-owned apartments increased 16 percent in 1996 compared to
1995. While these increases are primarily attributable to the acquisition of
Paces Village in April 1996, apartment operations reflect continued improvement.
Income from apartments owned for the full year in both 1996 and 1995 increased
by 3 percent in 1996, reflecting a 1 percent decline in average occupancy at
these apartments which was more than offset by a 4 percent increase in average
rental revenue per occupied unit. Average economic occupancy for the four
properties owned for the full year in both 1996 and 1995 was 94 percent for 1996
and 95 percent for 1995; average rental revenue per occupied unit was $684 in
1996 and $657 in 1995. From its acquisition in April 1996 through year end,
Paces Village had average economic occupancy of 93 percent and average revenue
per occupied unit of $693.


11


The 118 percent increase in apartment rental income in 1995 compared to 1994 is
primarily attributable to the impact of acquisitions of three apartment
properties (Harris Hill, Latitudes and Oakbrook) during 1994. (See discussion of
apartment properties included in Item 2 of this Annual Report.)

The Company owns apartment properties in Charlotte, North Carolina; Greensboro,
North Carolina; and Virginia Beach, Virginia. The Company's apartments are
priced in the moderate to moderately high range for apartments available within
these markets. Despite a substantial amount of new construction, especially in
Charlotte and Greensboro, these markets have remained relatively strong. This
strength is primarily attributable to demand for apartments created by continued
population and job growth. The Company has experienced a nominal reduction in
its average economic occupancy, but average monthly rent has continued to rise
at a moderate rate. While the Company expects some continued weakness in its
markets through 1997, management does not expect this will have a material
adverse effect on the Company's operations.

Increases in apartment rental income in 1996 and 1995 were partially offset by
declines in restaurant rental income in those same periods. In 1996 restaurant
rental income declined by 3 percent compared to 1995. Related restaurant food
sales declined by 4 percent in the same period. All stores were open throughout
1996 and 1995. The difference in restaurant rental revenue and related sales is
the result of the minimum rent provision of the restaurant lease. Under the
lease, as modified in December 1995, restaurant rental is the greater of minimum
rent ($4.5 million per year) or 9.875 percent of food sales. For 1996 the rental
was the $4.5 million minimum rent.

Restaurant sales and related rental income have been in decline since 1992,
attributed to an increasingly competitive environment in the fast food industry
marked by widespread price discounting and the lack of a strong hamburger
product on the Hardee's menu. Severe weather in January 1996 also contributed to
the decline. Boddie-Noell Enterprises, Inc. ("Enterprises"), the restaurant
operator, and Hardee's Food Systems, the restaurant franchisor, are taking
aggressive steps to improve restaurant sales. This includes a new advertising
campaign, the introduction of several new food items and a return to the
charbroil cooking method. There are signs that these actions are beginning to
take effect. During 1996 the quarterly sales comparisons to the same periods in
1995 were: first quarter - down 9.4 percent; second quarter - down 7.5 percent;
third quarter - down 0.8 percent; and fourth quarter - down 0.4 percent.

In 1995 restaurant rental income declined by 8 percent compared to 1994.
"Same-store" restaurant sales for locations open for the full periods in both
years declined by 9 percent for the year. The difference in trends for rental
income and "same-store" sales can be attributed to 1994 closings for scheduled
remodeling (all stores were open throughout 1995). Effective December 22, 1995,
the Company and Enterprises entered into a modified and restated master lease
which increased the required minimum rent from $3.46 million per year to $4.5
million per year and extended the primary term from May 2002 to December 2007.
The percentage rent remained set at 9.875 percent of gross food sales.

Also offsetting the increase in apartment rental income was the elimination of
property management fee income in 1996, reflecting the formation of BNP
Management, Inc. ("Management Company") in May 1995. (The Company accounts for
its investment in the Management Company using the equity method of accounting,
and 95 percent of the net income of the Management Company flows through to the
Company's financial statements as a single line item.) Throughout 1996 all
third-party management activities were conducted by the Management Company,
which currently provides property management services for nine apartment
properties and two shopping centers. Equity in the income of this subsidiary
totaled approximately $149,000 for 1996 and $48,000 for 1995. Management fee
income earned prior to the formation of the Management Company totaled $515,000
in eight months of 1995 and $276,000 in three months of 1994. Management does
not expect the formation or operation of the Management Company to have a
significant effect on the financial position, operating results, or cash flows
of the Company.

Expenses. Increases in expenses generally reflect the impact of apartment
acquisitions in 1996 and 1994 along with acquisition of management operations in
1994. Total expenses in 1996 were $12.8 million, an increase of 6 percent over
1995, primarily attributable to the impact of the acquisition of Paces Village
Apartments in April


12


1996. Total expenses in 1995 were $12.1 million, an increase of 74 percent over
1994, reflecting a full year's operations of four apartment communities (of
which three were acquired in 1994) and administrative functions.

Increases in depreciation and amortization over the three-year period are
directly attributable to the impact of acquisitions of apartment properties in
1996 and 1994 and an intangible asset recorded in conjunction with acquisition
of management operations in October 1994. Restaurant rental property ($43.2
million) and related depreciation charges ($778,000 per year) were unchanged
throughout the three-year period, while apartment rental property grew from
$14.4 million at the end of 1993 to $66.6 million by the end of 1996, with
related depreciation increasing from approximately $637,000 in 1994 to
approximately $1,662,000 in 1996. Amortization of the intangible related to
management operations totaled $315,000 in 1996 and $258,000 in 1995. The balance
of amortization expense relates to loan costs.

Operating expenses were generally in line with management's expectations.
Apartment operations expense totaled 30.4 percent, 29.3 percent, and 28.3
percent of apartment rental income in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
Increases in apartment operating expenses are primarily attributable to
increased costs associated with attracting and retaining residents in a
softening apartment market as well as an increased emphasis on preventative
maintenance. Operating expenses relating to restaurant properties are
insignificant because of the restaurant properties' triple net lease
arrangement.

The 30 percent decrease in administrative expense in 1996 compared to 1995
reflects the impact of transfer of third-party property management operations to
the Management Company in 1995. These costs declined in the last half of 1995
($538,000 during the last six months compared to $748,000 during the first six
months). The 106 percent increase in administrative expense in 1995 compared to
1994 reflects the impact of assumption of management activities in October 1994.

Through third quarter of 1994, the Company paid property management fees (5
percent of rental revenues collected) to BTVC for management of its apartment
properties and advisory fees (4.65 percent of net cash available for
distribution as defined by the advisory agreement) to an affiliate of
Enterprises. With the acquisition of BTVC, the Company terminated its advisory
contract and became self-advised and self-managed, thereby eliminating future
property management and advisory fees.

Increases in interest expense are primarily attributable to increases in
outstanding indebtedness incurred in connection with acquisitions of Paces
Village in 1996 ($10.7 million) and BTVC's management operations, Oakbrook,
Latitudes, and Harris Hill in 1994 ($40.0 million). During fourth quarter of
1994 and second quarter of 1995 the Company refinanced all variable rate debt
related to apartment properties to fixed rate loans, and in December 1995 the
Company refinanced its variable rate credit facility to a fixed rate loan. With
the exception of approximately $10.0 million in debt related to the 1996 Paces
Village acquisition, all notes payable secured by rental properties are at fixed
rates. (See further discussion below included in discussion of Liquidity and
Capital Resources.)

During the fourth quarters of 1995 and 1994 the Company recorded non-cash
write-offs of $321,000 and $377,000, respectively, related to deferred
acquisition costs. Significantly all of these costs arose in 1992 and 1993 in
conjunction with the "roll-up" transaction the Company began in 1993 and
ultimately abandoned in December 1995.



13


Liquidity and Capital Resources

Capitalization. Prior to acquiring its first apartment community, the Company's
capital requirements were minimal, as all capital expenses related to the
restaurants were borne by Enterprises under the terms of the master lease. In
order to acquire Paces Commons, Oakbrook, BTVC, Latitudes, Harris Hill and Paces
Village, the Company incurred additional debt and issued additional common
stock. The additional debt consists of first and second mortgages, secured by
the acquired apartment communities, and draws against the Company's credit
lines. As the Company continues to acquire apartment properties, it is likely
that the Company will incur additional long-term debt and seek additional equity
capital.

From its inception in 1987 through September 1994 the Company had 2,850,000
shares of common stock outstanding. On October 1, 1994, an additional 140,990
shares were issued in conjunction with the acquisition of BTVC. During 1995 and
1996 the Company issued a total of 64,450 shares of common stock to the former
BTVC shareholders in conjunction with an earn-out provision of that acquisition
agreement. Under the terms of the acquisition agreement, the former BTVC
shareholders are due additional consideration totaling 27,950 shares of common
stock valued at $356,000 as of December 31, 1996. Assuming the full contingent
purchase price is earned and paid in common stock, it is anticipated that the
Company would issue approximately 62,000 additional shares of common stock in
conjunction with the acquisition (including shares earned, but not issued, at
December 31, 1996).

In July 1996 the Company's Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan ("DRIP
Plan") was amended to allow the Company, at its option, to issue shares directly
to Plan participants. As amended, the Plan provides for optional additional
investment by participants of $25 to $10,000 (previously $3,000) per quarter.
During 1996 the Company issued 19,207 shares through the DRIP Plan, including
11,151 shares for reinvested dividends and 8,056 shares for optional additional
investment.

Consistent with management's plan to reduce the Company's exposure to variable
rate debt, during fourth quarter of 1994 and second quarter of 1995 the Company
refinanced $37.6 million in variable rate debt related to apartment properties
to fixed rate loans with maturities ranging from 2000 through 2020. In December
1995 the Company established a credit line with SouthTrust Bank of Alabama in
the amount of $25.5 million at a fixed rate of 8.0 percent for a term of three
years. The Company used an initial draw of $23.25 million to retire its existing
short-term variable rate credit facility. During 1996 the Company financed the
purchase of Paces Village Apartments through variable rate debt totaling $10
million along with a draw of $650,000 from its existing credit facility. In
addition, deeds of trust related to two apartment properties were modified to
extend the terms of each note by five years. The balance of the credit line is
available for general corporate purposes.

A summary of long-term debt as of December 31, 1996 and 1995 has been included
in the Notes to the Financial Statements included in Item 14 of this Annual
Report. At December 31, 1996, total long-term debt was $77.3 million, including
$60.3 million notes payable at fixed interest rates ranging from 7.86 percent to
8.55 percent, and $17.0 million at variable rates. The weighted average interest
rate on debt outstanding was 8.0 percent at December 31, 1996, compared to 8.1
percent at December 31, 1995. A 1 percent increase in variable interest rates
would impact the Company by increasing interest expense by approximately
$164,000 on an annual basis; conversely, a 1 percent decrease in variable
interest rates would impact the Company by decreasing interest expense by
approximately $170,000 on an annual basis.

Cash Flow and Liquidity Requirements. Funds from operations ("FFO") 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 (losses) from debt restructuring and sales of property, plus
depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated
partnerships and joint ventures." In 1995 NAREIT issued additional guidance for
interpretation of this definition which provides that only depreciation and
amortization of real estate assets should be added back to net income in
calculating FFO. At December 31, 1995, the Company adopted this interpretation
and restated FFO amounts previously reported.

14


Management considers FFO to be useful in evaluating potential property
acquisitions and measuring the operating performance of an equity REIT because,
together with net income and cash flows, FFO provides investors with an
additional basis to evaluate the ability of the REIT to incur and service debt
and to fund acquisitions and other capital expenditures. FFO does not represent
net income or cash flows from operations as defined by generally accepted
accounting principles ("GAAP"), and FFO should not be considered as an
alternative to net income as an indicator of the Company's operating performance
or as an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. FFO does not
measure whether cash flow is sufficient to fund all of the Company's cash needs,
including principal amortization, capital improvements and distributions to
shareholders. FFO does not represent cash flows from operating, investing or
financing activities as defined by GAAP. Further, FFO as disclosed by other
REITs may not be comparable to the Company's calculation of FFO.

A reconciliation of net income to FFO is as follows (all amounts in thousands):



1996 1995 1994
-------------- --------------- --------------

Net income $ 1,716 $ 1,628 $ 2,301
Depreciation 2,440 2,204 1,415
Amortization of management intangible 315 258 56
Write-off of deferred costs - 359 519
-------------- --------------- --------------
Funds from operations $ 4,472 $ 4,450 $ 4,291
============== =============== ==============



Funds available for distribution ("FAD") is defined by the Company as FFO plus
non-cash expense for amortization of loan costs, less payments for scheduled
amortization of debt principal and recurring capital expenditures.

A reconciliation of FFO to FAD, along with summary cash flow information, is as
follows (all amounts in thousands):



1996 1995 1994
-------------- --------------- --------------

Funds from operations $ 4,472 $ 4,450 $ 4,291
Amortization of loan costs 219 147 177
Scheduled debt principal payments (460) (397) (167)
Recurring capital expenditures (396) (239) (49)
-------------- --------------- --------------
Funds available for distribution $ 3,835 $ 3,961 $ 4,253
============== =============== ==============

Net cash provided by (used in):
Operating activities $ 4,800 $ 4,476 $ 4,496
Investing activities (11,020) (832) (18,729)

Dividends and distributions paid to shareholders $ 3,751 $ 3,729 $ 3,578

Nonrecurring capital expenditures:
Acquisition improvements and replacements $ 143 $ 285 $ 113
Other apartment property improvements 22 2 -


As discussed above, the addition of apartment properties and improvement in
apartment operations have offset the decline in restaurant rental income,
producing increases in FFO of 0.5 percent in 1996 and 3.7 percent in 1995. Net
income for 1996 increased by 5.4 percent compared to 1995. This increase is
attributable to the fact that during 1995 the Company recorded write-offs
totaling $359,000--otherwise, net income for 1996 compared to 1995


15


would have declined and reflected the effect of depreciation and amortization of
assets related to apartment property acquisitions. As expected, net income
declined 29.3 percent in 1995 compared to 1994, reflecting the effect of
non-cash charges for depreciation and amortization of assets related to
apartment property acquisitions in 1993 and 1994. As seen in the past, future
additions to the apartment properties portfolio would likely result in a decline
in net income due to significant non-cash charges for depreciation and
amortization; however, management anticipates that such additions would generate
favorable increases in FFO.

The Company capitalizes those expenditures relating to acquiring new assets,
materially enhancing the value of an existing asset, or substantially extending
the useful life of an existing asset. In 1996 and 1995 the Company capitalized
all carpet and vinyl replacements (including $29,000 in 1996 and $120,000 in
1995 included in acquisition improvements and replacements). In 1994 apartment
carpet and vinyl replacements were generally expensed as incurred ($23,000
expensed in 1994), except when those replacements were made in conjunction with
a plan of acquisition ($91,000 in 1994 included in acquisition improvements and
replacements). Additions to apartment properties were generally funded from cash
provided by operating activities.

In 1996 the Company applied $10.7 million proceeds of new debt to the
acquisition of Paces Village Apartments and related loan costs totaling $10.8
million. In 1994 the Company applied $18.6 million net proceeds of financing
transactions to $19.2 million in acquisition activities and related loan costs.

Dividends paid per share remained stable at $1.24 in 1996, 1995 and 1994, while
weighted average number of common shares outstanding increased by 142,000, or
4.9 percent, over the three-year period. The Company's dividend payout ratio
(the ratio of dividends paid to FFO on a per share basis) was 83.8 percent in
1996 and 1995, and 83.2 percent in 1994. REITs are subject to a number of
organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that they
currently distribute at least 95 percent of their ordinary taxable income as
dividends. The Company intends to pay dividends quarterly, expects that these
dividends will substantially exceed the 95 percent taxable income test, and
anticipates that all dividends will be paid from current FFO.

A summary of scheduled principal payments on long-term debt is included in the
Notes to the Financial Statements included in Item 14 of this Annual Report.
Significant scheduled balloon payments include maturities of the Company's
credit line in December, 1998 ($23.9 million outstanding at December 31, 1996);
two loans payable to affiliates in May, 1999 ($7.1 million); and the note
payable secured by a deed of trust for Latitudes Apartments in January, 2000
(balloon of approximately $12.5 million).

The Company continues to produce sufficient cash flow to fund its regular
dividend and has positioned itself for future growth. The Company generally
expects to meet its short-term liquidity requirements through net cash provided
by operations and utilization of credit facilities. Management believes that net
cash provided by operations is, and will continue to be, adequate to meet both
operating requirements and payment of dividends by the Company in accordance
with REIT requirements in both the short- and the long term. The Company
anticipates funding its acquisition activities, if any, primarily by using
short-term credit facilities or secured long-term debt. The Company expects to
meet certain of its long-term liquidity requirements, such as scheduled debt
maturities and repayment of short-term financing of possible property
acquisitions, through long-term secured and unsecured borrowings and the
issuance of debt securities or additional equity securities of the Company. The
Company believes that it has sufficient resources to meet its short- and
long-term liquidity requirements.

Approximately 31 percent of the Company's 1996 revenue was derived from
Enterprises' payment of rent for the use of the Company's restaurant properties.
In addition, Enterprises is responsible for all of the costs associated with the
maintenance and operations of these properties. As a result, the financial well
being of the Company is, to a large extent, dependent on Enterprises' ability to
meet its obligations under the terms of the master lease. The ability of
Enterprises to satisfy the requirements of the master lease depends on its
liquidity and capital resources. Historically, Enterprises has been able to meet
its liquidity needs through cash flow generated from operations and through
reliance on its credit facility.

Enterprises' principal line of business is the operation of approximately 360
Hardee's restaurants, 47 of which are owned by the Company. The continued
decline in its restaurant sales (see "Revenues" above) has had a material

16


negative impact on Enterprises' operating cash flow. Management has had
extensive discussions with management of Enterprises and has reviewed
Enterprises' unaudited financial statements, cash flow analysis, restaurant
contribution analysis, sales trend analysis and projections, and believes that
Enterprises will have sufficient liquidity and capital resources to meet its
obligations under the master lease and credit facility as well as its general
corporate operating needs.

The table below sets forth certain information with respect to the liquidity and
capital resources of Enterprises. The information is derived from Enterprises'
unaudited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996,
available as of March 14, 1997. Enterprises is an S Corporation for federal and
state income tax purposes; therefore, its cash flow generated from operations
does not include a deduction for corporate income tax payments.

Current assets $ 10,298,000
Total assets 269,482,000
Current liabilities 39,644,000
Total debt, including current portion of $11,401,000 117,115,000
Shareholders' equity 87,657,000
Net cash provided by operating activities 11,585,000

Inflation. Management does not believe that inflation poses a material risk to
the Company. The leases at the Company's apartment properties are short-term in
nature, generally for terms of one year or less, with none 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 Company's
apartment properties did not identify any problems that management believes
would have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations,
liquidity or capital resources. Environmental transaction screens obtained for
each of the restaurant properties in 1995 did not indicate existence of any
environmental problems that warranted further investigation. Enterprises has
indemnified the Company for environmental problems associated with the
restaurant properties under its master lease with the Company.

BODDIE-NOELL PROPERTIES, INC.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 1996


Note 1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting and Reporting
Policies

Organization and History. Boddie-Noell Restaurant Properties, Inc. (the
"Company") was incorporated on April 1, 1987. On October 1, 1994, the Company
changed its name to Boddie-Noell Properties, Inc.

In April 1987, the Company acquired 47 existing Hardee's restaurant properties
located in Virginia and North Carolina, operated by Boddie-Noell Enterprises,
Inc. ("Enterprises") under franchise agreements with Hardee's Food Systems, Inc.
Simultaneously with their purchase, the properties were leased to Enterprises
under a master lease agreement.

In June 1993 the Company acquired Paces Commons Apartments, a 336-unit apartment
property in Charlotte, North Carolina. In June 1994 the Company acquired
Oakbrook Apartments, a 162-unit apartment property in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Effective October 1, 1994, the Company acquired by merger BT Venture Corporation
("BTVC"), an integrated real estate management, development and acquisition
company and owner of the Latitudes Apartments, a 448-unit apartment property in
Virginia Beach, Virginia. As of October 1, 1994, the Company succeeded to BTVC's
third-party management business, terminated its advisory agreement with BNE
Advisory Group, Inc., and began operations as a self-administered and
self-managed real estate investment trust. In December 1994 the Company acquired
Harris Hill Apartments, a 184-unit apartment property in Charlotte, North
Carolina. In June 1996 the Company acquired Paces Village Apartments, a 198-unit
apartment property in Greensboro, North Carolina.

In May 1995 the Company formed BNP Management, Inc. (the "Management Company").
The Company has a 1 percent voting interest and 95 percent economic interest.
This investment is recorded using the equity method of accounting.

Capital Stock. In June 1995 the Company's shareholders approved amendments to
the Company's bylaws and certificate of incorporation to allow the Board of
Directors to authorize the issuance of up to an additional 90,000,000 shares of
Common Stock and 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, issuable in series the
characteristics of which would be set by the Board of Directors. As of December
31, 1996, no such shares have been authorized or issued.

As of December 31, 1996, approximately 655,000 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 contingent purchase
price payments related to the acquisition of BTVC.

Real Estate Investments. Apartment properties are carried at cost. Ordinary
repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred while significant
improvements, renovations and replacements are capitalized. Depreciation is
computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the
related assets, which are 40 years for buildings, 20 years for land
improvements, 10 years for fixtures and equipment, and five years for carpet,
vinyl, and wallpaper replacements. Restaurant properties, which include only
real property, are carried at cost. Cost of repairs and maintenance and capital
improvements are borne by Enterprises. Depreciation of the buildings is computed
using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives (40 years) of the
respective properties.

Cash and Cash Equivalents. The Company considers all highly liquid investments
with maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

28


Deferred Costs. The intangible asset related to the acquisition of management
operations acquired by merger is amortized using the straight-line method over a
period of ten years. Accumulated amortization on this asset totaled $630,000 and
$314,000 at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

Deferred acquisition costs represent costs incurred in connection with the
proposed acquisition of properties and the associated offering costs. Such costs
are deferred until the acquisition is consummated. Upon completion of the
acquisition, the costs will be capitalized to the underlying assets and/or
charged to shareholders' equity.
When an acquisition is deemed not probable, the costs are charged to expense.

Financing costs are deferred and amortized using the straight-line method over
the terms of the related notes. Accumulated amortization on these assets totaled
$280,000 and $61,000 at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

Income Taxes. The Company operates as and elects to be taxed as a Real Estate
Investment Trust ("REIT") under the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, the
Company will not be subject to federal or state income taxes on amounts
distributed to shareholders, provided it distributes at least 95 percent of its
REIT taxable income and meets certain other requirements for qualifying as a
REIT. Accordingly, no provision has been made for federal or state income taxes.

Net Income Per Share. Net income per share is calculated based on the weighted
average number of shares outstanding during each year. The potential dilutive
effect of stock options in the computation of earnings per share is not
material.

Fair Values of Financial Instruments. The following methods and assumptions are
used by the Company in estimating its fair value disclosures for financial
instruments.

Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amount reported on the balance sheet for
cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value.

Notes payable: The fair value of the Company's fixed rate mortgage notes and
variable rate notes payable is estimated using discounted cash flow analysis,
based on the Company's current incremental borrowing rates. The carrying amounts
of the Company's borrowings under notes payable approximate fair value.

Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Depreciation amounts included in these financial statements
reflect management's 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 management's evaluation
of the continuing value and useful life of this asset. Actual results could
differ from these estimates.

Reclassifications. Certain amounts in the 1995 and 1994 financial statements
have been reclassified to conform to the 1996 presentation. These
reclassifications had no effect on net income or shareholders' equity as
previously reported.

apartment property additions, replacements and improvements are summarized as

Note 3. Investment in and Advances to Management Company

In May 1995 the Management Company was formed to provide management services to
non-Company owned properties. The Company contributed approximately $119,000,
primarily in office equipment, to the formation of the Management Company, and
transferred the rights to certain third-party property leasing and management
contracts to the Management Company for a 1 percent voting interest and 95
percent economic interest. The remaining interest in the Management Company is
held by certain officers of the Company. Because the Company exercises
significant influence over, but does not control the financial and operating
policies of, the Management Company, the investment and related income are
reflected in the accompanying financial statements using the equity method. At
December 31, 1996, the Management Company provides leasing and property
management services to nine apartment properties and two shopping centers owned
by limited partnerships of which Boddie Investment Company ("BIC") is the
general partner.

During 1995 the Company advanced a total of $150,000 to the Management Company,
of which $50,000 was repaid in 1996. These advances accrue interest at 12
percent. Interest on these advances totaled $16,900 and $9,700 in 1996 and 1995,
respectively.

The loan agreement related to the $25,500,000 note payable to a bank includes
covenants and restrictions relating to, among other things, specified levels of
debt service coverage, leverage and net worth.

During 1996 the Company financed the purchase of Paces Village Apartments
through first and second deed of trust loans totaling $10,000,000 along with a
draw of $650,000 from the Company's existing credit facility. In addition, deeds
of trust related to Paces Commons Apartments and Oakbrook Apartments were
modified to extend the terms of each note by five years. In conjunction with
these transactions the Company paid and recorded $139,000 in deferred loan costs
in 1996.

During December, 1995, the Company applied $29,425,000 proceeds from fixed rate
loans to retire a fixed rate mortgage note and pay off variable rate notes
payable and a variable rate revolving line of credit totaling approximately
$29,250,000. In conjunction with these refinancing transactions, unamortized
loan costs of approximately $38,000 were charged to expense. In conjunction with
these transactions the Company paid and recorded $183,000 and $266,000 in
deferred loan costs in 1996 and 1995, respectively.

Interest payments were as follows:



1996 1995 1994

Note 5. Dividend Distributions

Dividend distributions totaling $1.24 per share were paid during 1996, 1995 and
1994. The allocation between non-taxable return of capital and taxable ordinary
dividend income to shareholders was as follows.

1996 1995 1994
--------- -------- --------

Non-taxable return of capital 43.7% 51.8% 49.3%
Taxable ordinary dividend income 56.3% 48.2% 50.7%

A regular quarterly dividend of $.31 per share was declared by the Board of
Directors on January 14, 1997, payable on February 14, 1997, to shareholders of
record on January 31, 1997.

Note 6. Rental Operations

Apartment Properties. The Company leases its residential apartments under
operating leases with monthly payments due in advance. The majority of the
apartment leases are for terms of one year or less, with none longer than two
years. Rental and other revenues are recorded as earned.

Restaurant Properties - Master Lease Agreement. In conjunction with the
$25,500,000 loan agreement with a bank, in December 1995 the Company entered
into an Amended and Restated Master Lease Agreement with Enterprises which
extended the term of the original lease to an initial term ending in December
2007 and increased minimum annual rent to $4,500,000. Prior to amendment, the
master lease required the lessee to pay minimum annual rent equal to an
annualized rate of 8.0 percent of the aggregate purchase price of the properties
($3,459,433 in 1995 and 1994, respectively), and percentage rent of 9.875
percent of the quarterly aggregate net sales from restaurant operations on the
properties less the aggregate minimum rent payable for such calendar quarter.

As amended, the lease requires Enterprises to pay monthly installments of
minimum annual rent equal to $4,500,000 and percentage rent at 9.875 percent of
quarterly aggregate net sales from restaurant operations on the properties less
minimum rent paid for such calendar quarter, subject to an annual calculation of
the greater of minimum or percentage rent. In 1996 the Company received
approximately $122,000 of excess rental payments, which have been recorded as
deferred revenue at December 31, 1996.

Enterprises is responsible for all taxes, utilities, renovations, insurance and
maintenance expenses relating to the operation of the restaurant properties. The
lessee may extend the lease for a maximum of three five-year renewal terms.
Under certain conditions as defined in the agreement, Enterprises and the
Company each have the right to substitute another restaurant property for a
property covered by the lease. The master lease provides that after December 31,
2007 (the beginning of the first renewal period), 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, the Company and Enterprises
have entered into a separate agreement which, after December 31, 1997, allows
Enterprises to purchase under specified terms up to seven restaurant properties
deemed to be uneconomic.

The components of restaurant rental income were as follows:

1996 1995 1994
----------------- ----------------- -----------------

Minimum rent $4,500,000 $3,459,433 $3,459,433
Percentage rent - 1,189,817 1,587,404
----------------- ----------------- -----------------
$4,500,000 $4,649,250 $5,046,837
================= ================= =================

Future minimum rental payments to be received by the Company under the master
lease agreement are $4,500,000 per year through 2007. This annual amount does
not include percentage rent which may be earned in addition to minimum rent.

Approximately 31 percent of the Company's revenue in 1996 was derived from
Enterprises' payment of rent for the use of the Company's restaurant properties.
In addition, Enterprises is responsible for all of the costs associated with the
maintenance and operation of these properties. As a result, the financial well
being of the Company is, to a large extent, dependent on Enterprises' ability to
meet its obligations under the terms of the master lease. The ability of
Enterprises to satisfy the requirements of the master lease depends on its
liquidity and capital resources. Historically, Enterprises has been able to meet
its liquidity needs through cash flow generated from operations and through
reliance on its credit facility.

Enterprises' principal line of business is the operation of approximately 360
Hardee's restaurants, 47 of which are owned by the Company. The continued
decline in its restaurant sales has had a material negative impact on
Enterprises' operating cash flow. Management has reviewed Enterprises' unaudited
financial statements, cash


33


flow analysis, restaurant contribution analysis, sales trend analysis and
projections, and believes that Enterprises will have sufficient liquidity and
capital resources to meet its obligations under the master lease and credit
facility as well as its general corporate operating needs.


Note 7. Related Party Transactions

Certain directors and officers of the Company hold similar positions with
Enterprises and BNE Advisory Group, Inc. (an affiliate of Enterprises), and held
similar positions with BTVC.

The Company purchased the 47 Hardee's restaurant properties from BNE Realty
Partners, Limited Partnership (an affiliate of Enterprises) for $43,243,000 in
1987.

The Company had an agreement through September 30, 1994, under which BNE
Advisory Group, Inc. provided all administrative services and was responsible
for the day-to-day operations of the Company. The agreement provided for
compensation to BNE Advisory Group, Inc. at an annual fee equal to 4.65 percent
of the Company's net cash available for distribution (as defined in the
agreement) before the advisory fee. Advisory fee expense totaled $153,000 in
1994. Effective with the merger of BTVC on October 1, 1994, the agreement with
BNE Advisory Group, Inc. was terminated.

Prior to the Company's acquisition of BTVC, the Company paid BTVC $112,000 for
property management services in 1994.

Enterprises had extended to the Company an unsecured revolving line of credit up
to $2,000,000. Draws totaling $1,100,000 were made and repaid in full during
1994. At December 31, 1994, there was no obligation outstanding. In conjunction
with modification of the master lease agreement (see Note 6), this line of
credit was terminated in December 1995.


Note 8. Acquisitions

On June 7, 1994, the Company acquired Oakbrook Apartments, a residential
apartment community located in Charlotte, North Carolina for a total purchase
cost of $9,372,000. The purchase was financed primarily through bank and
mortgage borrowings. The results of operations of Oakbrook are included in the
financial statements from June 7, 1994.

On October 1, 1994, the Company acquired by merger BTVC, including Latitudes
Apartments, for an initial purchase price including $91,000 in cash, $21,251,000
through assumption of liabilities, and 134,610 shares of the Company's common
stock valued at $1,899,000. The acquisition agreement provides for contingent
purchase price payments ("additional consideration") of up to $1,700,000 if
certain future financial targets are attained. The additional consideration is
payable in shares of common stock or cash, at the option of the Company, on a
quarterly basis over a period of up to 14 quarters commencing with the quarter
ended December 31, 1994. The acquisition was accounted for by the purchase
method of accounting, and the total acquisition cost of $26,326,000 (assuming
full earn-out of additional consideration and including approximately $1,385,000
in acquisition costs) approximates the fair value of assets acquired.
Significant assets acquired include the Latitudes Apartments and an intangible
related to management operations, initially recorded at $21,950,000 and
$2,250,000, respectively. Additional consideration payments will be allocated
primarily to the intangible related to management operations and amortized over
ten years. The results of operations of Latitudes and management operations are
included in the financial statements from October 1, 1994.

On December 28, 1994, the Company acquired Harris Hill Apartments, a residential
apartment community located in Charlotte, North Carolina for a total purchase
cost of $8,871,000. The purchase was financed primarily through

34


bank and mortgage borrowings. The results of operations of Harris Hill are
included in the financial statements from December 28, 1994.

On April 29, 1996, the Company acquired Paces Village Apartments, a residential
apartment community located in Greensboro, North Carolina for a total purchase
cost of $10,667,000. The purchase was financed primarily through bank and
mortgage borrowings. The results of operations of Paces Village are included in
the financial statements from April 29, 1996.

In conjunction with the BTVC acquisition and based on an earlier estimate, the
Company issued 140,990 shares, including 6,380 "excess shares" to the BTVC
shareholders in October 1994. During the fourth quarter of 1994 and in each
quarter of 1995 and 1996 the financial targets for additional consideration were
met; the Company recorded additional consideration totaling approximately
$1,275,000, paid in part by issuance of 81,129 shares of common stock. At
December 31, 1996, the BTVC shareholders are due additional consideration
totaling approximately $356,000.

At December 31, 1996, assuming the full contingent purchase price is earned and
paid in common stock, it is anticipated that the Company would issue
approximately 62,000 additional shares of common stock in conjunction with the
acquisition.

The following unaudited pro forma summary presents the results of operations as
if the acquisition of Paces Village Apartments in 1996 had occurred at the
beginning of periods presented and does not purport to be indicative of what
would have occurred had the acquisitions been made as of those dates or of
results which may occur in the future.

1996 1995
----------------- -----------------

Total revenue $15,006,000 $15,193,000
Net income 1,690,000 1,489,000
Net income per common share 0.56 0.50


Note 9. Profit Sharing Plan

The employees of the Company are participants in a profit sharing plan pursuant
to Section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code. The Company makes limited matching
contributions based on the level of employee participation as defined.


Note 10. Stock Option and Incentive Plan

In 1994 the Company established an employee Stock Option and Incentive Plan
("Stock Option Plan") under which 280,000 shares of the Company's common stock
are reserved for issuance. On October 17, 1994, options to purchase 160,000
shares were granted to certain eligible employees at $13.75 per share, the fair
value of the Company's stock on the date the options were granted. The options
vest and are exercisable one-fourth per year beginning October 17, 1995, and
expire October 17, 2004. During 1996 options for 10,000 shares were forfeited.
In January 1996 the options were repriced at $12.50, the fair value of the
Company's common stock on the date of repricing. At December 31, 1996, options
for 75,000 shares have vested, and no options have been exercised. The remaining
contractual life of all options outstanding is 8.75 years.

In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("FAS 123"), which establishes
financial accounting and reporting standards for stock-based compensation plans.
FAS 123 defines a fair value based method of accounting for an employee stock
option or similar equity instrument and encourages the adoption of that method
of accounting. However, FAS 123 also


35


allows entities to continue to account for such plans under Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees"
("APB 25"). Entities electing to remain with the accounting in APB 25 must make
pro forma disclosures of net income and earnings per share as if the fair value
based method of accounting defined in FAS 123 had been applied.

The Company has elected to follow APB 25 and related Interpretations in
accounting for its employee stock options because, as discussed below, the
alternative fair value accounting provided for under FAS 123 requires use of
option valuation models that were not developed for use in valuing employee
stock options. Under APB 25, because the exercise price of the Company's
employee stock options equals the market price of the underlying stock on the
date of repricing, no compensation expense is recognized.

Pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share is required by
FAS 123, and has been determined as if the Company had accounted for its
employee stock options under the fair value method of that Statement. The fair
value of these options was estimated at the date of repricing using a
Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average
assumptions for 1996: risk-free interest rate of 6.5 percent; dividend yield of
9.9 percent; volatility factor of the expected market price of the Company's
common stock of .09; and a weighted-average expected life of the option of 8.75
years. The weighted average fair value of options as repriced in 1996 was $.06.
No options were granted in 1995.

The effect of applying the FAS 123 fair value method to the Company's
stock-based compensation results in net income and net income per share that is
not materially different from the amounts reported.


Note 11. Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan

In July 1996 the Company's Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan ("DRIP
Plan") was amended to allow the Company, at its option, to issue shares directly
to Plan participants. During 1996 the Company issued 19,207 shares through the
DRIP Plan.


Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company has agreements with two of its executive officers which provide for
cash compensation and other benefits in the event that 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. Management believes that such matters will not have a
material effect on the financial position of the Company.

On December 29, 1996, the Company experienced a fire which destroyed 20 units at
the Latitudes Apartments. The Company believes that it has adequate insurance
coverage and does not expect this event to have a material adverse effect on the
Company's financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
