PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

General. Weingarten Realty Investors, an unincorporated trust organized under
the Texas Real Estate Investment Trust Act, and its predecessor entity began the
ownership and development of shopping centers and other commercial real estate
in 1948. WRI is self-advised and self-managed. As of December 31, 2000, we
owned or operated under long-term leases interests in 254 developed
income-producing real estate projects. We owned 197 shopping centers located in
the Houston metropolitan area and in other parts of Texas and in Louisiana,
Arizona, Nevada, Arkansas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Kansas, Colorado,
Missouri, Illinois, Florida and Maine. We also owned 55 industrial projects
located in Tennessee, Nevada and Houston, Austin and Dallas, Texas.
Additionally, we owned one multi-family residential project and one office
building, which serves, in part, as WRI's headquarters. Our interests in these
projects aggregated approximately 30.0 million square feet of building area and
113.4 million square feet of land area. We also owned interests in 38 parcels
of unimproved land under development or held for future development that
aggregated approximately 12.5 million square feet.

WRI currently employs 222 persons and its principal executive offices are
located at 2600 Citadel Plaza Drive, Houston, Texas 77008, and its phone number
is (713) 866-6000.

Location of Properties. Historically, WRI has emphasized investments in
properties located primarily in the Houston area. Since 1987, we began actively
acquiring properties outside of Houston. Of our 292 properties that were owned
or operated under long-term leases as of December 31, 2000, 99 of our 254
developed properties and 14 of our 38 parcels of unimproved land were located in
the Houston metropolitan area. In addition to these properties, we owned 88
developed properties and eight parcels of unimproved land located in other parts
of Texas. Because of our investments in the Houston area, as well as in other
parts of Texas, the Houston and Texas economies affect, to a significant degree,
the business and operations of WRI.

In 2000, the economies of Houston and Texas continued to grow, still exceeding
the national average. The economy of the entire southwestern United States,
where we have our primary operations, also remained strong relative to the
national average. The Houston economy, although bolstered by a resurgent oil
market, has become highly diversified after experiencing significant growth in
the technology, construction, services, health care and finance, insurance and
real estate sectors. It has become much more integrated into the international
economy and is somewhat affected by the international climate. Thus, Houston's
expansion is expected to continue in 2001 and beyond against a backdrop of a
slowing national economy. Any deterioration in the Houston or Texas economies
could adversely affect us. However, our centers are generally anchored by
supermarkets and drug stores under long-term leases, and these types of stores,
which deal in basic necessity-type items, tend to be less affected by economic
change.

Competition. There are other developers and owner-operators engaged in the
development, acquisition and operation of shopping centers and commercial
property who compete with us in our trade areas. This results in competition
for both acquisitions of existing income-producing properties and also for prime
development sites. There is also competition for tenants to occupy the space
that WRI and its competitors develop, acquire and manage.

We believe that the principal competitive factors in attracting tenants in our
market areas are location, price, anchor tenants and maintenance of properties.
We also believe that our competitive advantages include the favorable locations
of our properties, our ability to provide a retailer with multiple locations
with anchor tenants in the Houston area and the practice of continuous
maintenance and renovation of our properties.

Financial Information. Additional financial information concerning WRI is
included in the Consolidated Financial Statements located on pages 26 through 42
herein.

General. In 2000, no single property accounted for more than 2.5% of WRI's
total assets or 2.4% of gross revenues. Four properties, in the aggregate,
represented approximately 8.5% of our gross revenues for the year ended December
31, 2000; otherwise, none of the remaining properties accounted for more than
1.7% of our gross revenues during the same period. The weighted average
occupancy rate for all of our improved properties as of December 31, 2000 was
93.0%.

Substantially all of our properties are owned directly by WRI (subject in some
cases to mortgages), although our interests in some properties are held
indirectly through interests in joint ventures or under long-term leases. In
our opinion, our properties are well maintained and in good repair, suitable for
their intended uses, and adequately covered by insurance.

Shopping Centers. As of December 31, 2000, WRI owned or operated under
long-term leases, either directly or through its interests in joint ventures,
197 shopping centers with approximately 22.8 million square feet of building
area. The shopping centers were located predominantly in Texas with other
locations in Louisiana, Arizona, Nevada, Arkansas, New Mexico, Oklahoma,
Tennessee, Kansas, Colorado, Missouri, Illinois, Florida and Maine.

WRI's shopping centers are primarily neighborhood and community shopping centers
that range in size from 100,000 to 400,000 square feet, as distinguished from
small strip centers, which generally contain 5,000 to 25,000 square feet, and
from large regional enclosed malls that generally contain over 500,000 square
feet. Most of the centers do not have climatized common areas but are designed
to allow retail customers to park their automobiles in close proximity to any
retailer in the center. Our centers are customarily constructed of masonry,
steel and glass and all have lighted, paved parking areas, which are typically
landscaped with berms, trees and shrubs. They are generally located at major
intersections in close proximity to neighborhoods that have existing populations
sufficient to support retail activities of the types conducted in our centers.

We have approximately 4,600 separate leases with 3,500 different tenants,
including national and regional supermarket chains, drug stores, discount
department stores, junior department stores, other nationally or regionally
known stores and a great variety of other regional and local retailers. The
large number of locations offered by WRI and the types of traditional anchor
tenants help attract prospective new tenants. Some of the national and regional
supermarket chains, which are tenants in our centers, include Albertson's,
Fiesta, Smith's (Kroger), H.E.B., Kroger Company, Randall's Food Markets
(Safeway), Fry's Food Stores (Kroger), Publix, King Soopers, Inc. (Kroger) and
Safeway. In addition to these supermarket chains, WRI's nationally and
regionally known retail store tenants include Eckerd, Walgreen and Osco
(Albertson's) drugstores; Kmart discount stores; Bealls, Palais Royal and
Weiner's junior department stores; Kohl's, Marshall's, Office Depot, Office Max,
Babies 'R' Us, Ross, Stein Mart and T.J. Maxx off-price specialty stores;
Luby's, Piccadilly and Furr's cafeterias; Academy s porting goods; CompUSA,
Best Buy, Conn's and Circuit City electronics stores; FAO Schwarz toy store;
Cost Plus Imports; Linens 'N Things; Barnes & Noble bookstore; Border's Books;
Home Depot; Bed, Bath & Beyond; and the following restaurant chains: Arby's,
Burger King, Champ's, Church's Fried Chicken, Dairy Queen, Domino's,
Jack-in-the-Box, CiCi Pizza, Long John Silver's, McDonald's, Olive Garden,
Outback Steakhouse, Pizza Hut, Shoney's, Steak & Ale, Taco Bell and Whataburger.
We also lease space in 3,000 to 10,000 square foot areas to national chains
such as the Limited Store, The Gap, One Price Stores, Old Navy, Eddie Bauer and
Radio Shack. The diversity of our tenant base is also evidenced in the fact
that our largest tenant accounted for only 3.53% of rental revenue during 2000.

WRI's shopping center leases have lease terms generally ranging from three to
five years for tenant space under 5,000 square feet and from 10 to 35 years for
tenant space over 10,000 square feet. Leases with primary lease terms in excess
of 10 years, generally for anchor and out-parcels, frequently contain renewal
options which allow the tenant to extend the term of the lease for one or more
additional periods, with each of these periods generally being of a shorter
duration than the primary lease term. The rental rates paid during a renewal
period are generally based upon the rental rate for the primary term, sometimes
adjusted for inflation or for the amount of the tenant's sales during the
primary term.

Most of our leases provide for the monthly payment in advance of fixed minimum
rentals, the tenants' pro rata share of ad valorem taxes, insurance (including
fire and extended coverage, rent insurance and liability insurance) and common
area maintenance for the center (based on estimates of the costs for these
items). They also provide for the payment of additional rentals based on a
percentage of the tenants' sales. Utilities are generally


PAGE 13




paid directly by tenants except where common metering exists with respect to a
center. In this case, WRI makes the payments for the utilities and is
reimbursed by the tenants on a monthly basis. Generally, our leases prohibit
the tenant from assigning or subletting its space. They also require the tenant
to use its space for the purpose designated in its lease agreement and to
operate its business on a continuous basis. Some of the lease agreements with
major tenants contain modifications of these basic provisions in view of the
financial condition, stability or desirability of those tenants. Where a tenant
is granted the right to assign its space, the lease agreement generally provides
that the original lessee will remain liable for the payment of the lease
obligations under that lease agreement.

During 2000, WRI acquired seven shopping centers and made investments in joint
ventures that acquired three additional retail centers. The investment in
retail properties totaled $184.5 million with our share being $141.3 million,
which added 1.4 million square feet to our portfolio.

In March, we purchased a 315,000 square foot shopping center in Plano, Texas, a
suburb of Dallas. Redevelopment of this center is underway with the demolition
of a portion of the buildings, construction of a 64,000 square foot Kroger
supermarket and extensive renovation and remerchandising of the remainder of the
project. This redevelopment should be completed in the latter half of 2001.

Also in March, WRI formed a strategic joint venture with an institutional
investor to acquire $200 million of real estate assets using limited leverage.
As general partner in the joint venture, WRI is responsible for the acquisition
process, as well as, the on-going leasing and management activities of the
acquired properties. In June, two shopping centers were acquired with this
institutional joint venture partner. Our first purchase was the Pavilions at
San Mateo in Albuquerque, New Mexico. This 196,000 square foot center is
anchored by Circuit City, Linens 'n Things, CompUSA and Old Navy. This
represents WRI's fifth property in Albuquerque and our sixth in New Mexico. The
second shopping center is Lone Star Pavilion in College Station, Texas. This
107,000 square foot shopping center is anchored by Best Buy, Barnes and Noble
and Office Depot.

In April, we acquired Kohl's Shopping Center in Topeka, Kansas. This 116,000
square foot shopping center is anchored by an 80,700 square foot Kohl's
Department Store and a 35,000 square foot Barnes and Noble.

In August, WRI purchased Regency Park Shopping Center in Overland Park, Kansas.
This 202,000 square foot center is anchored by Micro Center, Border's Books and
Music, Marshall's and Old Navy and represents our fifth property in this market.

Later in August, WRI in partnership with its institutional joint venture partner
acquired Rockwall Market Center located in Rockwall, Texas, a suburb of Dallas.
Rockwall Market Center contains 217,000 square feet and is anchored by Linens 'n
Things, Ross Dress for Less, Office Max, Petco, Michael's Crafts, Pier 1 Imports
and Old Navy.

Also in August, WRI purchased the Market at Southside, our first shopping center
in the Orlando area. Anchored by a Walgreen's and Ross Dress for Less, this
97,000 square foot center is part of a 310,000 square foot center anchored by
Office Depot, Publix and Albertson's.

In December, we purchased three shopping centers. The largest was the 465,000
square foot Westland Fair shopping center, located in Las Vegas. We have
managed the center for the past three years and have planned a major renovation
and redevelopment of the property, including the demolition of several buildings
and the development of approximately 370,000 square feet of new buildings. The
redeveloped center will contain approximately 561,000 square feet when completed
and will feature a 220,000 square foot Super Wal-Mart and a 115,000 square foot
Home Depot. With the acquisition of Westland Fair, WRI now owns eight shopping
centers and one industrial property in the Las Vegas market.

WRI also acquired the 136,000 square foot first phase of Rainbow Plaza located
in Las Vegas, Nevada. WRI now owns this entire 416,000 square foot center, as
the Company acquired Phase II of the project in 1997. Anchor tenants for the
entire property include Home Depot, Lucky's Supermarket, Rite Aid Drugs, JC
Penny Home Store and the Q Club.


PAGE 14




Lastly, we acquired Killeen Marketplace, a 115,000 square foot shopping center
in Killeen, Texas, which is located approximately 60 miles north of Austin. The
center, which was developed in 2000, is anchored by Best Buy, Ross Dress for
Less and Staples. The center is strategically located across from Killeen Mall.

In 2000, WRI acquired land at nine separate locations for the development of
retail shopping centers. Two of these acquisitions were made in joint ventures
with our development partner in Denver. Total expenditures on these projects
during 2000 totaled $41.0 million. At the beginning of 2001, we have 13
retail developments underway which, upon completion, will represent an
investment of approximately $140 million and will add 1.2 million square feet to
the portfolio. These projects will come on-line beginning in early 2001 through
mid 2002.

Industrial Properties. At December 31, 2000, WRI owned 55 industrial projects.
The acquisition of five industrial office service centers added .5 million
square feet to our industrial portfolio and represented an investment of $23.4
million. We purchased three office/service facilities in Austin, Texas, which
added 160,000 square feet to the portfolio. With these acquisitions, we now
have seven industrial and two retail properties in Austin, comprising more than
813,000 square feet of building area. WRI also acquired two industrial
properties in San Antonio, Texas totaling 368,000 square feet. The two
industrial acquisitions bring WRI's total property holdings in San Antonio to
seven including five shopping centers and the two newly acquired industrial
properties.

Office Building. We own a seven-story, 121,000 square foot masonry office
building with a detached, covered, three-level parking garage situated on
171,000 square feet of land fronting on North Loop 610 West in Houston. The
building serves as our headquarters. Other than WRI, the major tenant of the
building is Bank of America, which currently occupies 9% of the office space.

Multi-family Residential Properties. WRI completed development of a 260-unit
luxury apartment complex within a multi-use master-planned project we developed
in a suburb north of Houston. An unrelated Houston-based multi-family operator
manages the property on our behalf.

Unimproved Land. At December 31, 2000, WRI owned, directly or through its
interest in a joint venture, 38 parcels of unimproved land aggregating
approximately 12.5 million square feet of land area located in Texas, Louisiana,
Arizona, Colorado, Illinois and Nevada. These properties include approximately
3.5 million square feet of land adjacent to certain of our existing developed
properties, which may be used for expansion of these developments, as well as
approximately 9.0 million square feet of land, which may be used for new
development. Almost all of these unimproved properties are served by roads and
utilities and are ready for development. Most of these parcels are suitable for
development as shopping centers or industrial projects, and WRI intends to
emphasize the development of these parcels for such purpose.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

WRI is involved in various matters of litigation arising in the normal course of
business. While WRI is unable to predict with certainty the amounts involved,
WRI's management and counsel are of the opinion that, when such litigation is
resolved, WRI's resulting liability, if any, will not have a material effect on
WRI's consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SHAREHOLDERS

None.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto and the comparative summary of selected
financial data appearing elsewhere in this report. Historical results and
trends which might appear should not be taken as indicative of future
operations.

Weingarten Realty Investors owned or operated under long-term leases 197
shopping centers, 55 industrial properties, one multi-family residential project
and one office building at December 31, 2000. Of our 254 developed properties,
187 are located in Texas (including 99 in Houston and Harris County). Our
remaining properties are located in Louisiana (11), Arizona (11), Nevada (9),
Arkansas (6), New Mexico (6), Kansas (5), Colorado (5), Oklahoma (4), Tennessee
(4), Missouri (2), Florida (2), Illinois (1) and Maine (1). WRI has nearly
4,600 leases and 3,500 different tenants. Leases for our properties range from
less than a year for smaller spaces to over 25 years for larger tenants; leases
generally include minimum lease payments and contingent rentals for payment of
taxes, insurance and maintenance and for an amount based on a percentage of the
tenants' sales. The majority of our anchor tenants are supermarkets,
drugstores, value-oriented apparel and discount stores and other retailers,
which generally sell basic necessity-type items.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

WRI anticipates that cash flows from operating activities will continue to
provide adequate capital for all dividend payments in accordance with REIT
requirements. Cash on hand, internally-generated cash flow, borrowings under
our existing credit facilities, issuance of unsecured debt and the use of
project financing, as well as other debt and equity alternatives, will provide
the necessary capital to achieve planned growth. Cash flow from operating
activities as reported in the Statements of Consolidated Cash Flows increased to
$132.9 million in 2000 from $119.5 million for 1999 and $97.9 million for 1998.

During 2000, WRI invested $164.8 million through the acquisition of operating
properties. We acquired seven shopping centers and made investments in joint
ventures that acquired three additional retail centers. The investment in retail
properties totaled $184.5 million with our share being $141.3 million, which
added 1.4 million square feet to our portfolio. The acquisition of five
industrial office service centers added 500,000 square feet to our industrial
portfolio and represented an investment of $23.4 million. Two of the shopping
centers purchased in 2000 will be extensively redeveloped, which will require
the investment of an additional $10.8 million by WRI over the next 12 to 18
months.

In 2000, WRI acquired land at nine separate locations for the development of
retail shopping centers. Two of these acquisitions were made in joint ventures
with our development partner in Denver. Our share of total expenditures on
these nine projects during 2000 totaled $41.0 million. We also invested an
additional $17.0 million in projects which were under development at the
beginning of 2000, and $37.3 million in renovating, expanding and maintaining
our existing properties. At the beginning of 2001, we have 13 retail
developments underway which, upon completion, will represent an investment of
approximately $140 million and will add 1.2 million square feet to the
portfolio. These projects will come on-line beginning in early 2001 through mid
2002. We expect to invest approximately $67.0 million in these properties
during 2001.

Capitalized expenditures for acquisitions, new development and additions to the
existing portfolio were, in millions, $260.2, $224.3 and $176.5 during 2000,
1999 and 1998, respectively. All of the acquisitions and new development during
2000 were either initially financed under WRI's revolving credit facilities or
funded with excess cash flow from our existing portfolio of properties.

With respect to other 2001 capital needs, WRI signed a contract in January of
2001 to acquire 19 supermarket-anchored shopping centers in California for a
total purchase price of $277.5 million, including the assumption of
approximately $132 million of debt. This acquisition is expected to close in
March of 2001 and will add approximately 2.5 million square feet to our
portfolio. In addition, we completed the purchase of a 488,000 square foot
retail center in Orlando, Florida in February of 2001 for $54.0 million.

Common and preferred dividends increased to $100.4 million in 2000, compared to
$95.4 million in 1999 and $77.3 million in 1998. WRI satisfied its REIT
requirement of distributing at least 95% of ordinary taxable income for each of
the three years ended December 31, 2000. Our dividend payout ratio on common
equity for 2000, 1999 and 1998 approximated 70.5%, 71.9% and 74.4%,
respectively, based on funds from operations for the applicable year.

In January 2000, WRI issued $10.5 million of ten-year 8.25% fixed-rate,
unsecured medium term notes. In connection with this debt issuance, we entered
into a ten-year interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount of $10.5
million to swap 8.25% fixed-rate interest for floating-rate interest. On
January 4, 2001, we terminated this swap with the counter-party, resulting in
the receipt of $.9 million. As the swap was accounted for as a hedge of the
medium term note, the gain will be amortized over the remaining life of the
note, which lowers the effective interest rate on the note to 7.4%.

In July 2000, the Company issued a two-year $25 million variable-rate, unsecured
medium term note that bears interest at 50 basis points over LIBOR and a
three-year $25 million variable-rate note that bears interest at 60 basis points
over LIBOR. At the time of issuance, the interest rates were 7.23% and 7.33%,
respectively. During November and December of 2000, we entered into interest
rate swap agreements, which fix the interest rates on these notes. Designated
as cash flow hedges of the medium term notes, these swaps fix the interest rates
at 7.02% and 6.80% for the two and three year notes, respectively.

In December 2000, we completed three medium term note transactions totaling $36
million which included a twelve-year $11 million note bearing interest at 7.5%,
a ten-year $10 million note bearing interest at 7.4% and a ten-year $15 million
note bearing interest at 7.5%.

In conjunction with acquisitions completed during 2000, we assumed $30.7 million
of non-recourse debt secured by the related properties. The weighted average
interest rate on this debt is 8.1%, and the average remaining life is 5.0 years.
Additionally, we issued $73.1 million of ten-year non-recourse debt secured by
retail properties held by joint ventures in which we participate. The weighted
average interest rate on this debt is 7.93%.

WRI had a $200 million unsecured revolving credit facility, which expired in
November of 2000. Concurrently, we entered into a new three-year $350 million
unsecured revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks. This facility
will mature in November of 2003 and contains a one-year extension, at our sole
option. The facility bears interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 50 basis points.
Additionally, the facility includes a competitive bid option that allows WRI to
hold auctions at lower pricing for short-term funds for up to $175 million. WRI
also has an unsecured and uncommitted overnight credit facility totaling $20
million to be used for cash management purposes. WRI will maintain adequate
funds available under the $350 million revolving credit facility at all times to
cover the outstanding balance under the $20 million facility. WRI has three
interest rate swap contracts with an aggregate notional amount of $40 million
which fix interest rates on a like amount of the $350 million revolver at 7.8%.
One contract with a notional amount of $20 million expires in May of 2001 and
the other two contracts expire in June of 2004.

Effective March 1, 2000, WRI finalized an unsecured $100 million revolving
credit agreement with a bank. No amounts were outstanding under this line at
year-end, and the agreement expired on February 28, 2001.

In January 2001, WRI sold 4.5 million common shares of beneficial trust in a
secondary public offering. In February, the underwriters exercised their
over-allotment option and purchased an additional 200,000 shares. Net proceeds
to WRI totaled $188.1 million based on a price of $42.19 per share and were used
to pay down amounts outstanding under our $350 million revolving credit
facility.

We have a $400 million shelf registration statement on file under which $113.4
million was available after the sale of 4.7 million common shares in early 2001.

Total debt outstanding increased to $869.6 million at December 31, 2000 from
$595.8 million at December 31, 1999, primarily to fund acquisitions and new
development. Total debt at December 31, 2000 includes $645.9 million on which
interest rates are fixed, including the net effect of our $100.5 million of
interest rate swaps, and $223.7 million which bears interest at variable rates.
Additionally, debt totaling $200.5 million is secured by operating properties
while the remaining $669.1 million is unsecured.

WRI will continue to closely monitor both the debt and equity markets and
carefully consider its available alternatives, including both public and private
placements.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Rental revenues increased 14.4%, or $33.3 million, from $231.3 million in 1999
to $264.6 million in 2000 and by 15.2%, or $30.5 million, from $200.8 million in
1998. Of these increases, property acquisitions and new development contributed
$25.4 million in 2000 and $27.0 million in 1999. The remaining portion of these
increases is due to activity at our existing properties. Occupancy of our
shopping centers increased to 93.4% at December 31, 2000 from 91.3% at the end
of 1999. Occupancy of our industrial portfolio increased slightly from 91.0% at
the end of 1999 to 91.2% at December 31, 2000 and occupancy of the total
portfolio increased from 91.3% to 93.0% at year-end. These increases are due to
a generally strong leasing environment in most of the markets in which we
operate, and more specifically, the leasing of a substantial portion of large
vacancies that arose in the latter part of 1999. In 2000, we completed 1,008
renewals or new leases comprising 4.9 million square feet at an average rental
rate increase of 10.0%. Net of the amortized portion of capital costs for
tenant improvements, the increase averaged 6.4%. Occupancy of our total
portfolio decreased from 93.1% at December 31, 1998 to 91.3% at the end of 1999.
In 1999, we completed 894 renewals or new leases comprising 4.8 million square
feet at an average rental rate increase of 9.5%. Net of the amortized portion
of capital costs for tenant improvements, the increase averaged 5.9%.

Interest income totaled $5.6 million in 2000, $3.2 million in 1999 and $2.1
million in 1998. The increase in income in 2000 and 1999 was due to the funding
of interim loans to our joint venture partners, pending the completion of
permanent financing with third parties. Interest income should decrease in 2001
as this permanent financing was finalized during 2000.

Direct costs and expenses of operating our properties (i.e., operating and ad
valorem tax expenses) increased to $74.4 million in 2000 from $65.2 million in
1999 and $56.3 million in 1998. These increases are primarily due to property
acquired and developed during these periods. Overall, direct operating costs
and expenses as a percentage of rental revenues were 28% in 2000, 1999 and 1998.

Depreciation and amortization have increased to $58.5 million in 2000 from $50.7
million in 1999 and $42.9 million in 1998, also as a result of the properties
acquired and developed during these periods. General and administrative expense
has increased to $8.2 million in 2000 from $7.5 million in 1999 and $7.2 million
in 1998. These increases are due to normal compensation increases as well as
increases in staffing necessitated by the growth in the portfolio.

Gross interest costs, before capitalization of interest to development projects,
increased from $36.0 million in 1999 to $49.7 million in 2000. This increase in
interest cost was due mainly to an increase in the average debt outstanding from
$501.9 million for 1999 to $680.3 million for 2000. The weighted-average
interest rate increased from 7.17% in 1999 to 7.29% in 2000. Interest expense,
net of amounts capitalized, increased $12.6 million from 1999. The amount of
interest capitalized increased to $4.2 million in 2000 from $3.0 million in 1999
due to an increase in the amount of development activity during the year.
Comparing 1999 to 1998, gross interest costs increased from $35.3 million in
1998 to $36.0 million in 1999. This was due to an increase in the average debt
outstanding from $492.2 million in 1998 to $501.9 million in 1999. The
weighted-average interest rate increased between the two periods from 7.11% in
1998 to 7.17% in 1999. Interest expense, net of amounts capitalized, decreased
$1.0 million from 1998. The amount of interest capitalized increased by $1.7
million in 1999 due to an increase in the amount of development activity during
the year.

The gain on sale of $20.6 million in 1999 was due primarily to the sale of 28.5
acres of undeveloped land and an 80% interest in certain industrial properties
to American National Insurance Company.

FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS

Industry analysts generally consider funds from operations to be an appropriate
measure of the performance of an equity REIT since such measure does not
recognize depreciation and amortization of real estate assets as operating
expenses. Management believes that reductions for these charges are not
meaningful in evaluating income-producing real estate, which historically has
not depreciated. The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts
defines funds from operations as net income plus depreciation and amortization
of real estate assets, less gains and losses on sales of properties. Funds from
operations does not represent cash flows from operations as defined by
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and
should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indicator of
WRI's operating performance or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity.

Funds from operations is calculated as follows (in thousands):

EFFECTS OF INFLATION

The rate of inflation was relatively unchanged in 2000. WRI has structured its
leases, however, in such a way as to remain largely unaffected should
significant inflation occur. Most of the leases contain percentage rent
provisions whereby WRI receives rentals based on the tenants' gross sales. Many
leases provide for increasing minimum rentals during the terms of the leases
through escalation provisions. In addition, many of WRI's leases are for terms
of less than ten years, which allows WRI to adjust rental rates to changing
market conditions when the leases expire. Most of WRI's leases require the
tenants to pay their proportionate share of operating expenses and ad valorem
taxes. As a result of these lease provisions, increases due to inflation, as
well as ad valorem tax rate increases, generally do not have a significant
adverse effect upon WRI's operating results.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 1998, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting
for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", as amended, was issued.
This statement requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either
assets or liabilities and measure the instruments at fair value. The accounting
for changes in fair value of a derivative depends upon its intended use. WRI
adopted the provisions of this statement in the first quarter of fiscal year
2001. Based upon valuations at December 31, 2000, WRI would record liabilities
totaling $1.9 million with a corresponding entry to other comprehensive income
at that date relating to interest rate swaps that have been designated as cash
flow hedges. The effect of this pronouncement on net income and funds from
operations will be insignificant.


PAGE 23




In December 1999, the SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, "Revenue
Recognition in Financial Statements" was issued. This bulletin requires that
revenue based on a percentage of tenants' sales be recognized only after the
tenant exceeds their sales breakpoint. Implementation of this bulletin reduced
revenue by an estimated $.6 million in 2000 and will have no effect on 2001.

In July 2000, the Emerging Issues Task Force of the Financial Accounting
Standards Board reached a consensus on EITF Issue No. 00-1,"Investor Balance
Sheet and Income Statement Display under the Equity Method for Investments in
Certain Partnerships and Other Ventures." This consensus requires that the
proportionate share method of presenting balance sheet and income statement
information for partnerships and other ventures in which entities have joint
interest and control be discontinued, except in limited circumstances. WRI was
required to conform with the guidance provided in this Issue effective December
31, 2000. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements for all periods
presented in this Annual Report have been restated to conform with the revised
presentation.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Annual Report includes certain forward-looking statements reflecting WRI's
expectations in the near term that involve a number of risks and uncertainties;
however, many factors may materially affect the actual results, including demand
for our properties, changes in rental and occupancy rates, changes in property
operating costs, interest rate fluctuations, and changes in local and general
economic conditions. Accordingly, there is no assurance that WRI's expectations
will be realized.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

WRI uses fixed and floating-rate debt to finance its capital requirements.
These transactions expose WRI to market risk related to changes in interest
rates. Derivative financial instruments are used to manage a portion of this
risk, primarily interest rate swap agreements with major financial institutions.
These swap agreements expose WRI to credit risk in the event of non-performance
by the counter-parties to the swaps. We do not engage in the trading of
derivative financial instruments in the normal course of business. At December
31, 2000, WRI had fixed-rate debt of $645.9 million and variable-rate debt of
$223.7 million, after adjusting for the effect of interest rate swaps. We also
had variable-rate notes receivable totaling $23.8 million at year-end. In the
event interest rates were to increase 100 basis points, net income, funds from
operations and future cash flows would decrease $2.0 million based upon the
variable-rate debt and notes receivable outstanding at December 31, 2000.

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA


INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Board of Trust Managers and Shareholders of
Weingarten Realty Investors:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Weingarten
Realty Investors (the "Company") as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the
related statements of consolidated income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows
for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2000. Our audits
also included the financial statement schedules listed in the Index at Item 14.
These financial statements and financial statement schedules are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on the financial statements and financial statement schedules based on
our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America. 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, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Weingarten Realty Investors at
December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the results of its operations and its cash flows
for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2000 in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Also, in our opinion, such financial statement schedules, when considered in
relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole,
present fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Business
Weingarten Realty Investors, a Texas real estate investment trust, is engaged in
the acquisition, development and management of real estate, primarily anchored
neighborhood and community shopping centers and, to a lesser extent, industrial
properties. Over 69% of the square footage of WRI's portfolio is in Texas, with
the remainder located primarily throughout the southwestern part of the United
States. WRI's major tenants include supermarkets, drugstores and other
retailers who generally sell basic necessity-type commodities. WRI currently
operates and intends to operate in the future as a real estate investment trust.

Basis of Presentation
In July 2000, the Emerging Issues Task Force of the Financial Accounting
Standards Board reached a consensus on EITF Issue No. 00-1, "Investor Balance
Sheet and Income Statement Display under the Equity Method for Investments in
Certain Partnerships and Other Ventures." This consensus requires that the
proportionate share method of presenting balance sheet and income statement
information for partnerships and other ventures in which entities have joint
interest and control be discontinued, except in limited circumstances. WRI was
required to conform with the guidance provided in this Issue effective December
31, 2000. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements for all periods
have been restated to include the accounts of WRI and its subsidiaries, as well
as 100% of the accounts of joint ventures and partnerships over which WRI
exercises control and the related amounts of minority interests. All
significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Investments in less than 50%-owned joint ventures and partnerships where WRI
does not exercise control are accounted for using the equity method.

Revenue Recognition
Rental revenue is generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of
the lease. Revenue from tenant reimbursements of taxes, maintenance expenses
and insurance is recognized in the period the related expense is recorded.

Revenue based on a percentage of tenants' sales was estimated and accrued
ratably over the year in 1999 and 1998. Beginning January 1, 2000, such revenue
was recognized only after the tenant exceeded their sales breakpoint, in
accordance with the SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, "Revenue Recognition
in Financial Statements." Implementation of this bulletin reduced revenue by an
estimated $.6 million in 2000 and will have no effect on 2001.

Property
Real estate assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation, which, in
the opinion of management, is not in excess of the individual property's
estimated undiscounted future cash flows, including estimated proceeds from
disposition. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method, generally
over estimated useful lives of 18-50 years for buildings and 10-20 years for
parking lot surfacing and equipment. Major replacements are capitalized and the
replaced asset and corresponding accumulated depreciation are removed from the
accounts. All other maintenance and repair items are charged to expense as
incurred.

WRI's properties are reviewed for impairment if events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the property may not be
recoverable. In such an event, a comparison is made of the current and
projected operating cash flows of each such property into the foreseeable future
on an undiscounted basis to the carrying amount of such property. Such carrying
amount would be adjusted, if necessary, to estimated fair value to reflect an
impairment in the value of the asset.

Capitalization
Carrying charges, principally interest and ad valorem taxes, on land under
development and buildings under construction are capitalized as part of land
under development and buildings and improvements.


PAGE 30




Deferred Charges
Debt and lease costs are amortized primarily on a straight-line basis over the
terms of the debt and over the lives of leases, respectively.


Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make use of
estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial
statements as well as certain disclosures. Actual results could differ from
those estimates.

Per Share Data
Net income per common share - basic is computed using net income available to
common shareholders and the weighted average shares outstanding. Net income per
common share - diluted includes the effect of potentially dilutive securities
for the periods indicated, as follows (in thousands):




2000 1999 1998
---------- ---------- ----------
Numerator:
Net income available to common shareholders - basic. . . . . $ 58,961 $ 76,537 $ 54,484
Income attributable to operating partnership units . . . . . 131 141 37
---------- ---------- ----------
Net income available to common shareholders - diluted. . . . $ 59,092 $ 76,678 $ 54,521
========== ========== ==========

Denominator:
Weighted average shares outstanding - basic. . . . . . . . . 26,775 26,690 26,667
Effect of dilutive securities:
Share options and awards . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 52 58 132

---------- ---------- ----------
Weighted average shares outstanding - diluted. . . . . . . . 26,931 26,890 26,869
========== ========== ==========



Options to purchase 893,401, 550,200 and 13,200 common shares in 2000, 1999 and
1998, respectively, were not included in the calculation of net income per
common share - diluted as the exercise prices were greater than the average
market price for the year.

On January 29, 2001, WRI issued 4.5 million common shares of beneficial interest
in a secondary public offering. On February 27, 2001, an additional 200,000
shares were sold upon exercise of a portion of the over-allotment option. Had
these transactions occurred on January 1, 2000, earnings per common share-basic
and earnings per common share-diluted for the year ended December 31, 2000 would
have both decreased by $.07.

Statements of Cash Flows
WRI considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three
months or less as cash equivalents. WRI issued .1 million common shares of
beneficial interest in 2000 valued at $3.6 million in exchange for interests in
limited partnerships which had been formed to acquire operating properties. We
assumed debt and/or capital lease obligations totaling $30.7 million, $39.1
million and $6.7 million in connection with purchases of property during 2000,
1999 and 1998, respectively. We issued limited partnership interests in
exchange for property valued at $4.0 million in 1998, and in connection with the
sale of improved properties in 1999, we received notes receivable totaling $33.1
million.

Comprehensive Income
WRI adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting
Comprehensive Income" in 1998. For the years presented, WRI did not have
significant amounts of comprehensive income.


PAGE 31




New Accounting Pronouncement
In June 1998, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting
for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", as amended, was issued.
This statement requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either
assets or liabilities and measure the instruments at fair value. The accounting
for changes in fair value of a derivative depends upon its intended use. WRI
adopted the provisions of this statement in the first quarter of fiscal year
2001. Based upon valuations at December 31, 2000, WRI would record liabilities
totaling $1.9 million with a corresponding entry to other comprehensive income
at that date relating to interest rate swaps that have been designated as cash
flow hedges. The effect of this pronouncement on net income and funds from
operations will be insignificant.

Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications of prior years' amounts have been made to conform with
the current year presentation.

NOTE 2. DEBT

WRI's debt consists of the following (in thousands):



DECEMBER 31,
------------------
2000 1999
-------- --------

Fixed-rate debt payable to 2015 at 6.0% to 10.0% . . . . . $545,391 $423,906
Variable-rate unsecured notes payable. . . . . . . . . . . 50,000
Unsecured notes payable under revolving credit agreements. 230,100 114,000
Obligations under capital leases . . . . . . . . . . . . . 33,467 48,467

-------- --------

Total. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $869,627 $595,843
======== ========


In November 2000, WRI entered into a new unsecured $350 million revolving credit
agreement with a syndicate of banks. The agreement expires in November 2003,
but we can request a one-year extension of the agreement, solely at our option.
We also have an agreement for an unsecured and uncommitted overnight credit
facility totaling $20 million with a bank to be used for cash management
purposes. We will maintain adequate funds available under our revolving credit
facilities at all times to cover the outstanding balance under the $20 million
facility. WRI also has letters of credit totaling $19.3 million outstanding
under the $350 million revolving credit facility at December 31, 2000. The
revolving credit agreements are subject to normal banking terms and conditions
and do not adversely restrict our operations or liquidity. On March 1, 2000, we
finalized an additional $100 million revolving credit agreement with a bank,
which expired February 28, 2001. There were no amounts outstanding under this
line at year-end.

At December 31, 2000, the variable interest rate for notes payable under the $20
million revolving credit agreement was 7.0%. During 2000, the maximum balance
and weighted average balance outstanding under all three credit facilities were
$232.9 million and $152.5 million, respectively, at an average interest rate of
6.97%. WRI made cash payments for interest on debt, net of amounts capitalized,
of $43.9 million in 2000, $32.1 million in 1999 and $33.0 million in 1998.

Various leases and properties and current and future rentals from those leases
and properties collateralize certain debt. At December 31, 2000 and 1999, the
carrying value of such property aggregated $350.9 million and $184.9 million,
respectively.

WRI has three interest rate swap contracts with an aggregate notional amount of
$40 million that serve as a hedge against changes in interest rates on a like
amount of our $350 million variable-rate revolving credit facility. Such
contracts, which expire through 2004, have been outstanding since their purchase
in 1992 and fix the interest rate at 7.8%. We also entered into two additional
interest rate swaps for a notional amount of $25 million each which serve as
hedges against changes in interest rates on two separate $25 million
variable-rate medium term notes which mature in 2002 and 2003. These swaps fix
the interest rates on the medium term notes at 7.0% and 6.8% for the two-year
and three-year notes, respectively. The interest rate swaps increased interest


PAGE 32




expense and decreased net income by $.5 million in 2000, $1.0 million in 1999
and $.9 million in 1998. The interest rate swaps increased the average interest
rate for our debt by .1% for 2000 and .2% for 1999 and 1998. WRI could be
exposed to credit losses in the event of non-performance by the counter-party;
however, the likelihood of such non-performance is remote.

In January 2000, WRI issued $10.5 million of ten-year 8.25% fixed-rate,
unsecured medium term notes. In connection with this debt issuance, we entered
into a ten-year interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount of $10.5
million to swap 8.25% fixed-rate interest for floating-rate interest. On
January 4, 2001, we terminated this swap with the counter-party, resulting in
the receipt of $.9 million. As the swap was accounted for as a hedge of the
medium term note, the gain will be amortized over the remaining life of the
note, which lowers the effective interest rate on the note to 7.4%.

In July 2000, the Company issued a two-year $25 million variable-rate, unsecured
medium term note that bears interest at 50 basis points over LIBOR and a
three-year $25 million variable-rate note that bears interest at 60 basis points
over LIBOR. At the time of issuance, the interest rates were 7.23% and 7.33%,
respectively. During November and December of 2000, we entered into interest
rate swap agreements which fix the interest rates on these notes.

In December 2000, we completed three fixed-rate medium term note transactions
totaling $36 million which included a twelve-year $11 million note bearing
interest at 7.5%, a ten-year $10 million note bearing interest at 7.4% and a
ten-year $15 million note bearing interest at 7.5%.

In conjunction with acquisitions completed during 2000, we assumed $30.7 million
of non-recourse debt secured by the related properties. The weighted average
interest rate on this debt is 8.1%, and the average remaining life is 5.0 years.
Additionally, we issued $73.1 million of ten-year non-recourse debt secured by
retail properties held by joint ventures in which we participate. The weighted
average interest rate on this debt is 7.93%.

In the third quarter of 1999, WRI filed a $400 million shelf registration
statement with the SEC, which allows for the issuance of debt or equity
securities or warrants. The unused portion of the shelf registration was $311.7
million at December 31, 2000 and $113.4 million following the sale of 4.7
million common shares in early 2001.

WRI's debt can be summarized as follows (in thousands):



DECEMBER 31,

Scheduled principal payments on our debt (excluding $230.1 million due under our
revolving credit agreements and $21 million of capital leases) are due during
the following years (in thousands):





2001. . . . . . . . . . $ 36,360
2002. . . . . . . . . . 70,094
2003. . . . . . . . . . 54,311

2006 through 2010 . . . 298,273
2011 through 2015 . . . 39,511



Various debt agreements contain restrictive covenants, the most restrictive of
which requires WRI to maintain a pool of qualifying assets, as defined, of not
less than 185% of unsecured debt. Other restrictions include minimum interest
and fixed charge coverage ratios, minimum unencumbered interest coverage ratios,
minimum net worth requirements and both secured and unsecured debt to total
asset value measures. Management believes that WRI is in compliance with all
restrictive covenants.

NOTE 3. PREFERRED SHARES

In February 1998, WRI issued $75 million of 7.44% Series A cumulative redeemable
preferred shares with a liquidation preference of $25 per share. The shares are
callable at WRI's option any time after March 31, 2003 and have no stated
maturity. In October 1998, WRI issued $90 million of 7.125% Series B cumulative
redeemable preferred shares with a liquidation preference of $25 per share and
no stated maturity. WRI can elect to redeem the shares anytime after October
20, 2003. The Series B shares are redeemable by the holder only upon their
death and are also redeemable in either cash or common shares at our option.
There are limitations on the number of shares per shareholder and in the
aggregate that may be redeemed per year.

In January 1999, WRI issued $115 million of 7.0% Series C cumulative redeemable
preferred shares with a liquidation preference of $50 per share and no stated
maturity. WRI can elect to redeem these shares anytime after March 15, 2004.
The redemption rights of the shareholders and the related restrictions are
effectively the same as for the Series B preferred shares.

The proceeds of these offerings were used to pay down amounts outstanding under
WRI's revolving credit facilities, to fund acquisition and new development
activity, to retire $35 million of 9.11% secured notes payable and to retire $82
million of variable-rate, medium term notes due in 2000. Any redemption of
preferred shares initiated by WRI must be funded with proceeds from an offering
of additional common or preferred shares.

During 2000, WRI acquired ten shopping centers and five industrial properties.
Three of the shopping center acquisitions were made through investment in joint
ventures. These transactions added 2.0 million square feet to our portfolio and
represent an investment of $164.8 million. In 2000, WRI acquired land at nine
separate locations for the development of retail shopping centers. We also
completed new development totaling $22 million, which added 215,000 square feet
to the portfolio.

NOTE 5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

WRI has mortgage bonds and notes receivable from WRI Holdings, Inc. of $3.8
million and $3.9 million, net of deferred gain of $3.0 million at December 31,
2000 and 1999, respectively. WRI and WRI Holdings share certain directors and
are under common management. Unimproved land and an investment in a joint
venture which owns and manages a motor hotel collateralize these receivables.
The bonds and notes bear interest at rates of 16% and prime plus 1%,
respectively. However, due to WRI Holdings' poor financial condition, WRI has
limited the recognition of interest income for financial statement purposes to
the amount of cash payments received. WRI did not receive any interest payments
in 1999 or 2000 and does not anticipate receiving such payments in the near
term. No interest income has been recognized for financial reporting purposes
in the last three years.

In the second quarter of 1998, WRI purchased 13.7 acres of undeveloped land from
WRI Holdings to be used for the development of a luxury apartment complex in
Conroe, Texas. The purchase price was $2.2 million and was based upon an
independent third party appraisal. WRI Holdings used the proceeds to pay down
amounts outstanding under mortgage bonds and notes payable to WRI.

In December 1999, undeveloped land from WRI Holdings of 102.6 acres was sold and
the net proceeds of $8.1 million were used to pay down amounts outstanding under
mortgage bonds and notes payable to WRI.

WRI's unrecorded receivable for interest on the mortgage bonds and notes
receivable was $23.6 million and $20.9 million at December 31, 2000 and 1999,
respectively. Interest income not recognized by WRI for financial reporting
purposes aggregated, in millions, $2.7, $4.2 and $4.8 for 2000, 1999 and 1998,
respectively. WRI does not anticipate recovery of the unrecorded receivable in
the future.

WRI owns interests in several joint ventures and partnerships. Notes receivable
from these entities bear interest at 8% to 10.5% at December 31, 2000, are due
at various dates through 2028 and are generally secured by real estate assets.
WRI recognized interest income on these notes as follows, in millions: $5.0 in
2000; $2.3 in 1999 and $1.5 in 1998.

The Chase Manhattan Bank is a significant participant in and the agent for the
banks that provide WRI's $350 million revolving credit agreement and is a
counter-party in four interest rate swap agreements with WRI. An executive
officer of J.P. Morgan Chase serves on the WRI Board of Trustees.

NOTE 6. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

Federal income taxes are not provided because WRI believes it qualifies as a
REIT under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. Shareholders of WRI
include their proportionate taxable income in their individual tax returns. As
a REIT, we must distribute at least 95% of our ordinary taxable income to our
shareholders and meet certain income source and investment restriction
requirements.


PAGE 35




Taxable income differs from net income for financial reporting purposes
principally because of differences in the timing of recognition of interest, ad
valorem taxes, depreciation, rental revenue, pension expense and installment
gains on sales of property. As a result of these differences, the book value of
our net assets exceeds the tax basis by $4.6 million at December 31, 2000.

For federal income tax purposes, the cash dividends distributed to common
shareholders are characterized as follows:




2000 1999 1998
-------- -------- --------

Ordinary income . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 87.1% 84.2% 97.0%
Return of capital (generally non-taxable) . . 12.7 4.0 2.1

-------- -------- --------

Total . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 100.0% 100.0% 100.0%
======== ======== ========




NOTE 7. LEASING OPERATIONS

WRI's lease terms range from less than one year for smaller tenant spaces to
over twenty-five years for larger tenant spaces. In addition to minimum lease
payments, most of the leases provide for contingent rentals (payments for taxes,
maintenance and insurance by lessees and for an amount based on a percentage of
the tenants' sales). Future minimum rental income from non-cancelable tenant
leases at December 31, 2000, in millions, is: $207.9 in 2001; $180.6 in 2002;
$155.2 in 2003; $129.2 in 2004; $102.9 in 2005 and $565.7 thereafter. The
future minimum rental amounts do not include estimates for contingent rentals.
Such contingent rentals, in millions, aggregated $53.8 in 2000, $47.2 in 1999
and $41.9 in 1998.

NOTE 8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

WRI leases land and one shopping center from the owners and then subleases these
properties to other parties. Future minimum rental payments under these
operating leases, in millions, are: $1.3 in 2001; $1.2 in 2002; $1.1 in 2003;
$.9 in 2004; $.8 in 2005 and $9.1 thereafter. Future minimum rental payments
on these leases have not been reduced by future minimum sublease rentals
aggregating $21.1 million through 2036 that are due under various non-cancelable
subleases. Rental expense (including insignificant amounts for contingent
rentals) for operating leases aggregated, in millions: $2.7 in 2000, $4.9 in
1999 and $2.6 in 1998. Sublease rental revenue (excluding amounts for
improvements constructed by WRI on the leased land) from these leased properties
was as follows, in millions: $3.2 in 2000, $2.9 in 1999 and $2.4 in 1998.

Property under capital leases, consisting of four shopping centers, aggregated
$29.1 and $41.1 million, respectively, at December 31, 2000 and 1999 and is
included in buildings and improvements. Amortization of property under capital
leases is included in depreciation and amortization expense. Future minimum
lease payments under these capital leases total $67.2 million, with annual
payments due, in millions, of $1.8 in each of 2001 and 2002; $1.9 in each of
2003 and 2004; $2.0 in 2005; and $57.8 thereafter. The amount of these total
payments representing interest is $33.7 million. Accordingly, the present value
of the net minimum lease payments is $33.5 million at December 31, 2000.

In 1998 and 1997, WRI formed limited partnerships to acquire certain property.
WRI controls the partnerships and consolidates their operations in the
accompanying consolidated financial statements. The partnership agreements
allow for the outside limited partners to put their interests to the partnership
for the original consideration of $5.7 million payable in cash or WRI common
shares at the option of WRI. In 2000, WRI issued .1 million common shares of
beneficial interest valued at $3.6 million in exchange for certain of these
limited partnership interests.

WRI is involved in various matters of litigation arising in the normal course of
business. While WRI is unable to predict with certainty the amounts involved,
WRI's management and counsel are of the opinion that, when such litigation is
resolved, WRI's resulting liability, if any, will not have a material effect on
WRI's consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 9. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The fair value of WRI's financial instruments was determined using available
market information and appropriate valuation methodologies as of December 31,
2000. Unless otherwise described below, all other financial instruments are
carried at amounts which approximate their fair values.

Based on rates currently available to WRI for debt with similar terms and
average maturities, fixed-rate debt with carrying values of $645.9 million and
$499.9 million have fair values of approximately $652.6 million and $485.6
million at December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The fair value of WRI's
variable-rate debt approximates its carrying values of $223.7 million and $95.9
million at year-end 2000 and 1999, respectively.

The fair value of the interest rate swap agreements is based on the estimated
amounts WRI would receive or pay to terminate the contracts. If WRI had
terminated these agreements at December 31, 2000 and 1999, WRI would have paid
$1.9 million and $1.1 million at each year-end, respectively.

NOTE 10. SHARE OPTIONS AND AWARDS

WRI had an incentive share option plan, which provided for the issuance of
options and share awards up to a maximum of 700,000 common shares that expired
in December 1997. Options granted under this plan become exercisable in equal
increments over a three-year period. WRI has an additional share option plan,
which grants 100 share options to every employee of WRI, excluding officers,
upon completion of each five-year interval of service. This plan, which expires
in 2002, provides options for a maximum of 100,000 common shares. Options
granted under this plan are exercisable immediately. For both of these share
option plans, options are granted to employees of WRI at an exercise price equal
to the quoted fair market value of the common shares on the date the options are
granted and expire upon termination of employment or ten years from the date of
grant.

In 2000, WRI granted 370,801 share options under a compensatory incentive share
plan. This plan, which expires in 2002, provides for the issuance of up to
1,750,000 shares, either in the form of restricted shares or share options.
Prior to 2000, the restricted shares generally vested over a ten-year period,
with potential acceleration of vesting due to appreciation in the market value
of our common shares. Beginning in 2000, the vesting period is five years. The
share options granted to non-officers vest over a three-year period beginning
one year after the date of grant and over a seven-year period beginning two
years after the date of grant for officers. Share options were granted at the
quoted fair market value on the date of grant. Restricted shares are issued at
no cost to the employee, and as such we recognized compensation expense relating
to restricted shares as follows, in millions: $ .3 in 2000, 1999 and 1998.

WRI does not recognize compensation cost for share options when the option
exercise price equals or exceeds the quoted fair market value on the date of the
grant. Had we determined compensation cost for our share option and award plans
based on the fair value of the options granted at the grant dates, our proforma
net income available to common shareholders would have been as follows, in
millions: $58.7, $75.9 and $53.8 in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Proforma
net income per common share - basic would have been $2.19, $2.84 and $2.02 in
2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

The fair value of each option grant was estimated on the date of grant using the
Black-Scholes option-pricing method with the following weighted-average
assumptions in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively: dividend yield of 6.9%, 7.3%
and 6.5%; expected volatility of 15.4%, 18.1% and 18.1%; expected lives of 7.4,
6.9 and 6.9 and risk-free interest rates of 5.1%, 6.6% and 4.8%.

The number of share options exercisable at December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 was
920,000, 728,000 and 432,000, respectively. Options exercisable at year-end
2000 had a weighted average exercise price of $38.23. The weighted average fair
value per share of options granted during 2000, 1999 and 1998 was $2.92, $4.25
and $4.05, respectively. Share options outstanding at December 31, 2000 had
exercise prices ranging from $25.00 to $45.81 and a weighted average remaining
contractual life of 6.1 years. Approximately 94% of the options outstanding at
year-end 2000 have exercise prices between $37.00 and $42.63 and a weighted
average contractual life of 6.4 years. There were 629,000 common shares
available for the future grant of options or awards at December 31, 2000.

NOTE 11. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

WRI has a Savings and Investment Plan to which eligible employees may elect to
contribute from 1% to 12% of their salaries. Employee contributions are matched
by WRI at the rate of $.50 per $1.00 for the first 6% of the employee's salary.
The employees vest in the employer contributions ratably over a six-year period.
Compensation expense related to the plan was $.3 million in 2000, 1999 and 1998.

Effective April 1, 1999, WRI adopted an Employee Share Purchase Plan under which
250,000 WRI common shares have been authorized. These shares, as well as common
shares purchased by WRI on the open market, are made available for sale to
employees at a discount of 15%. Shares purchased by the employee under the plan
are restricted from being sold for two years from the date of purchase or until
termination of employment with WRI. During 2000, a total of 9,759 shares were
purchased by employees at an average price of $37.73.


PAGE 38




WRI has a defined benefit pension plan covering substantially all of its
employees. The benefits are based on years of service and the employee's
compensation during the last five years of service. Our funding policy is to
make annual contributions as required by applicable regulations; however, we
have not been required to make contributions for any of the past three years.
Reconciliation of the benefit obligation, plan assets at fair value and
the funded status of the plan are as follows (in thousands):

WRI also has a non-qualified supplemental retirement plan for officers of WRI,
which provides for benefits in excess of the statutory limits of its defined
benefit pension plan. The obligation is funded in a grantor trust with our
common shares. We recognized expense as follows, in millions: $.3 in 2000,
1999 and 1998.

NOTE 12. SEGMENT INFORMATION

The operating segments presented are the segments of WRI for which separate
financial information is available, and operating performance is evaluated
regularly by senior management in deciding how to allocate resources and in
assessing performance. WRI evaluates the performance of its operating segments
based on net operating income that is defined as total revenues less operating
expenses and ad valorem taxes. Management does not consider the effect of gains
or losses from the sale of property in evaluating ongoing operating
performance.

The shopping center segment is engaged in the acquisition, development and
management of real estate, primarily anchored neighborhood and community
shopping centers located in Texas, Louisiana, Arizona, Nevada, Arkansas, New
Mexico, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Kansas, Colorado, Missouri, Illinois, Florida and
Maine. The customer base includes supermarkets, drugstores and other retailers
who generally sell basic necessity-type commodities. The industrial segment is
engaged in the acquisition, development and management of bulk warehouses and
office/service centers. Its properties are located in Texas, Nevada and
Tennessee, and the customer base is diverse. Included in "Other" are
corporate-related items, insignificant operations and costs that are not
allocated to the reportable segments.

NOTE 13. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In January 2001, we entered into a contract to acquire 19 supermarket-anchored
shopping centers in California for a total purchase price of $277.5 million,
including the assumption of approximately $132 million of debt. This
acquisition is expected to close in March of 2001 and will add approximately 2.5
million square feet to our portfolio.

On January 29, 2001, we issued 4.5 million common shares of beneficial interest
in a secondary public offering. In February 2001, the underwriters exercised
their over-allotment option and purchased an additional 200,000 shares. Net
proceeds of $188.1 million based on a price of $42.19 per share were used to pay
down amounts outstanding under our $350 revolving line of credit.

In February 2001, we purchased a 488,000 square foot retail center in Orlando,
Florida for $54.0 million.


NOTE 14. PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION (UNAUDITED)

During the year ended December 31, 2000, WRI acquired seven retail centers, five
industrial projects and interests in joint ventures which own three additional
retail centers for a total of $164.8 million. The pro forma financial
information for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999 is based on the
historical statements of WRI after giving effect to the acquisitions as if such
acquisitions took place on January 1, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
