BNP Residential Properties, Inc. is structured as an UPREIT, or umbrella umbrella, a small canopy used as a protection against the sun in China, Egypt, and elsewhere in remote antiquity. It was often an emblem of rank. During the Middle Ages the umbrella became almost extinct in Europe; its usefulness was not rediscovered until the late  partnership real estate investment trust. The Company is the sole general partner and owns a controlling interest controlling interest

Funds Available for Distribution: Funds available for distribution totaled $19.0 million in 2005, an increase of 90.4% compared to 2004. If not for the gain on sale and the charge for prepayment penalties in 2005, this increase would be 25.2%. (See also "Non-GAAP Information" below)

Net Income/(Loss): For 2005, net loss attributed to common shareholders was $1.5 million compared to income of $1.0 million in 2004. On a diluted per share basis, net loss attributed to common shareholders was $0.25 per common share compared to net income of $0.01 per common share for 2004.

The shift to net losses in 2005, compared to net income in 2004, arises primarily as a result of certain accounting entries related to our general partner interest in limited partnerships, the most significant of which are charges for distributions to minority partners (which have no economic effect or cost to the operating partnership). We believe the acquisition of the general partner interest in three limited partnerships in January 2005 was a good transaction that will provide substantial economic benefit to us. However, the accounting for these investments is complex, and generally accepted accounting principles The standard accounting rules, regulations, and procedures used by companies in maintaining their financial records.

Generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) provide companies and accountants with a consistent set of guidelines that cover both broad accounting
 ("GAAP") require certain entries that make it difficult to understand the impact of these investments on the company. This matter is discussed in more detail in our reports filed with the SEC.

Revenues: Total revenue in 2005 was $72.0 million, an increase of 44.1% compared to 2004. Apartment related income (apartment rental income Noun 1. rental income - income received from rental properties

Other Income: Management fee income for 2005 was $131,000 compared to $761,000 in 2004. This decrease is attributable to the elimination of management fees for consolidated limited partnerships and our acquisition of four properties in the first quarter of 2005 that we previously managed. We recorded casualty gains totaling $668,000 in 2005 and $269,000 in 2004 related to fires in three of our apartment buildings.

Apartment operations expense was $26.2 million in 2005, an increase of 44.8% compared to 2004. These increases reflect the addition of eleven apartment communities in 2005 and 2004, along with consolidation of three additional communities in 2005. Apartment operations expense represented 39.0% of related apartment rental income compared to 40.3% in 2004. On a same-units basis, apartment operations expense decreased by 1.0%.

Depreciation and amortization totaled $17.0 million in 2005, an increase of 43.7% compared to 2004. This increase reflects property acquisitions in 2005 and 2004, as well as additions and replacements at other apartment communities.

Interest expense was $22.6 million in 2005, an increase of 56.1% compared to 2004. This increase is primarily attributable to new debt issued or assumed in conjunction conjunction, in astronomy

For the Quarter ended December 31, 2005

Funds from Operations: Funds from operations of the operating partnership for the fourth quarter of 2005 totaled $1.9 million, a decrease of 38.1% compared to the fourth quarter of 2004. On a diluted basis, funds from operations per share was $0.15 for the fourth quarter of 2005 compared to $0.29 for the fourth quarter of 2004. This decrease is due to prepayment penalties of $1.6 million paid in debt refinance transactions in the fourth quarter of 2005. (See also "Non-GAAP Information" below)

Funds Available for Distribution: Funds available for distribution for the fourth quarter of 2005 totaled $9.6 million, an increase of 259.2% compared to the fourth quarter of 2004. This significant increase is due to the gain on sale for the property sold in October 2005. (See also "Non-GAAP Information" below)

Net income/(loss): Net income for the fourth quarter of 2005 was $5.0 million compared to $150,000 in 2004. On a diluted per share basis, income available to common shareholders was $0.54 per common share for the fourth quarter of 2005 compared to a loss of $0.01 per common share in 2004.

Revenues: Total revenue for the fourth quarter of 2005 was $19.9 million, an increase of 46.1% compared to the same period in 2004. Apartment related income (apartment rental income plus income from apartment management and investment activities) accounted for 95.2% of total revenue in the fourth quarter of 2005 compared to 93.0% in the fourth quarter of 2004. Restaurant rental income was 4.8% of total revenue in the fourth quarter of 2005 compared to 7.0% in 2004.

Apartments: Apartment rental revenue during the fourth quarter was $18.4 million, an increase of 47.8% compared to 2004. This increase is attributable to eleven apartment communities acquired in 2005 and 2004 and the inclusion of three additional apartment communities in our consolidated financial statements effective January 2005. The increase also reflects continued improvement in performance at our apartment communities. Average economic occupancy for all owned apartments was 94.1% for the fourth quarter of 2005 compared to 93.2% during the fourth quarter of 2004. Average monthly revenue per occupied unit for all owned apartments was $746 in the fourth quarter of 2005 compared to $744 in 2004.

On a same-units basis, apartment revenue increased by 2.9% in the fourth quarter of 2005 as compared to 2004. This increase was the result of increases in both occupancy and rental rate. On a same-units basis, average economic occupancy was 94.2% for the fourth quarter of 2005 compared to 93.9% in the fourth quarter of 2004. Average monthly revenue per occupied unit was $760 in the fourth quarter of 2005 compared to $741 in 2004.

On a same-units basis, apartment NOI (apartment rental income less apartment operating expenses) for the fourth quarter of 2005 increased by 4.2% compared to the fourth quarter of 2004.

Restaurants: Restaurant rental income for the fourth quarters of both 2005 and 2004 was $957,000, which is the minimum rent specified in the lease agreement. Same store sales at our restaurants decreased by 6.1% in the fourth quarter of 2005 compared to 2004.

Other Income: Management fee income for the fourth quarter of 2005 decreased to $9,000 from $179,000 in 2004. This decrease is attributable to the elimination of management fees for consolidated limited partnerships and our acquisition of four properties in the first quarter of 2005 that we previously managed. We recorded casualty gains of $500,000 in the fourth quarter of 2005 related to a fire in one of our apartment buildings. We have excluded the casualty gains from our calculation of funds from operations.

Expenses: Total expenses, including non-cash charges for depreciation and amortization, were $21.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2005, an increase of 61.4% compared to 2004. These increases are primarily attributable to growth in our apartment operations, along with charges for deficit distributions to a minority partner.

Apartment operations expense (the direct costs of on-site on-site

 operations) was $7.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2005, an increase of 44.3% compared to 2004. These increases reflect the addition of eleven apartment communities in 2005 and 2004, along with consolidation of three additional communities in 2005. Apartment operations expense represented 39.1% of related apartment rental income for the fourth quarter of 2005 compared to 40.1% in 2004. On a same-units basis, apartment operations expense increased by 1.0% for the fourth quarter of 2005 as compared to 2004.

Apartment administrative expense (the costs associated with oversight, accounting and support of the company's apartment management activities for both owned and third party properties) was $1.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2005 compared to $606,000 in 2004. Corporate administration expense was $834,000 in the fourth quarter of 2005 compared to $585,000 in 2004.

Operating expenses for restaurant properties are insignificant because the restaurant properties' triple-net lease arrangement requires the lessee to pay virtually all of the expenses associated with the restaurant properties.

Depreciation and amortization totaled $4.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2005, an increase of 40.8% compared to 2004. This increase reflects apartment acquisitions in 2005 and 2004, as well as additions and replacements at other communities.

Interest expense for the fourth quarter was $6.3 million in 2005, an increase of 57.0% compared to 2004. This increase is primarily attributable to new debt issued in conjunction with acquisitions of apartment properties, the inclusion of interest on debt of the three additional limited partnerships included in our consolidation, and increases in variable interest rates.

Dividend: The Company paid common dividend distributions totaling $0.25 per share during the fourth quarters of both 2005 and 2004.

President's Statement: 2005 was by far the most active year in our history. With the acquisition of eight apartment properties and the general partner interest in partnerships owning three communities, as well as the completion of rehabilitation rehabilitation: see physical therapy.  projects at two of our existing properties, we were able to dramatically expand and improve our portfolio. Less obvious, but equally important, was the tremendous progress we made in expanding and improving our corporate operating systems Operating systems can be categorized by technology, ownership, licensing, working state, usage, and by many other characteristics. In practice, many of these groupings may overlap. .

It was also a good year from an operational point of view. We saw continued improvement in apartment operating results with same-units NOI growth of 4.7% in 2005. This was primarily the result of a 2.4% increase in same-units apartment revenue. We entered 2005 with high occupancy and anticipated that any increase in rental revenue would, by necessity, come from increasing rental rates. While maximizing max·i·mize

We are confident that given our properties, our markets, our strategy, and the current economic environment we will be able to achieve reasonable growth in apartment rental income in 2006.

Non-GAAP Information: Funds from operations is frequently referred to as "FFO FFO

See: Funds from operations
." FFO is defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT NAREIT National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ") as "net income (computed in accordance Accordance is Bible Study Software for Macintosh developed by OakTree Software, Inc.[]

As well as a standalone program, it is the base software packaged by Zondervan in their Bible Study suites for Macintosh.
 with generally accepted accounting principles), excluding gains (losses) from sales of property, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures." Our calculation of FFO is consistent with FFO as defined by NAREIT. Because we hold all of our assets in and conduct all of our operations through the Operating Partnership, we measure FFO at the operating partnership level (i.e., after deducting the minority interests in FFO of the consolidated limited partnerships but before deducting the minority interest in the operating partnership).

FFO is intended to be a standard supplemental measure of operating performance that excludes historical cost depreciation from - or "adds it back" to - GAAP net income. We consider FFO to be useful in evaluating potential property acquisitions and measuring operating performance.

 capital expenditures. We believe that, together with net income and cash flows, funds available for distribution provides investors with an additional measure to evaluate the ability of the Operating Partnership to incur To become subject to and liable for; to have liabilities imposed by act or operation of law.

Expenses are incurred, for example, when the legal obligation to pay them arises. An individual incurs a liability when a money judgment is rendered against him or her by a court.
 and service debt, to fund acquisitions and other capital expenditures, as well as to fund distributions to shareholders and minority unitholders.

Funds from operations and funds available for distribution do not represent net income or cash flows from operations as defined by generally accepted accounting principles. You should not consider funds from operations or funds available for distribution:

--to be alternatives to net income as reliable measures of the company's operating performance, or

Funds from operations and funds available for distribution do not measure whether cash flow is sufficient to fund all of our cash needs, including principal amortization, capital improvements and distributions to shareholders.
