PART I

ITEM 1. Business

General. Weingarten Realty Investors, a real estate investment 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. At December 31, 2005, we owned or operated under long-term leases, either directly or through our interest in joint ventures or partnerships, a total of 353 developed income-producing properties and seven projects in various stages of development for which rental income has yet to commence. We owned 296 neighborhood and community shopping centers located in the Houston metropolitan area and in other parts of Texas as well as in Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Missouri, Nevada, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Utah and Washington. We also owned 64 industrial projects located in California, Florida, Georgia, Tennessee and Texas. Our interest in these projects amounts to approximately 48.7 million square feet of building area and 198.8 million square feet of land area. We also owned interests in 12 parcels of unimproved land held for future development that totaled approximately 3.7 million square feet.

At December 31, 2005, we employed 366 full-time persons and our principal executive offices are located at 2600 Citadel Plaza Drive, Houston, Texas 77008, and our phone number is (713) 866-6000.

Investment and Operating Strategy. Our investment strategy is to increase cash flow and the value of our portfolio through intensive hands-on management of our existing portfolio of assets, selective remerchandising and renovation of properties and the acquisition and development of income-producing real estate assets where the returns on such investments exceed our blended long-term cost of capital. We are expanding our new development program to include a merchant developer component where we will build, lease and then sell the developed real estate. We will also pursue the disposition of selective noncore assets as circumstances warrant when we believe the sales proceeds can be effectively redeployed into assets with higher growth potential.

At December 31, 2005, neighborhood and community shopping centers generated 90.4% of total revenue and industrial properties accounted for 9.2%. We expect to continue to focus the future growth of the portfolio in neighborhood and community centers and bulk and office/service industrial properties in markets where we currently operate as well as other markets primarily in the southern half of the United States. While we do not anticipate significant investment in other classes of real estate such as multi-family or office assets, we remain open to opportunistic uses of our undeveloped land.

We may either purchase or lease income-producing properties in the future, and may also participate with other entities in property ownership through partnerships, joint ventures or similar types of co-ownership. Equity investments may be subject to existing mortgage financing and other indebtedness or such financing or indebtedness may be incurred in connection with acquiring such investments.

We may invest in mortgages; however, we currently have only invested in first mortgages to joint ventures or partnerships in which we own an equity interest. We may also invest in securities of other issuers for the purpose, among others, of exercising control over such entities, subject to the gross income and asset tests necessary for REIT qualification.

Our operating strategy consists of intensive hands-on management and leasing of our properties. In acquiring and developing properties, we attempt to accumulate enough properties in a geographic area to allow for the establishment of a regional office, which enables us to obtain in-depth knowledge of the market from a leasing perspective and to have easy access to the property and our tenants from a management viewpoint.

Diversification from both a geographic and tenancy perspective is a critical component of our operating strategy. While over 43% of the building square footage of our properties is located in the state of Texas, we continue to expand our holdings outside the state. With respect to tenant diversification, our two largest merchants accounted for 3.1% and 1.7%, respectively, of our total rental revenues for the year-end December 31, 2005. No other tenant accounted for more than 1.6% of our total rental revenues.

We finance our growth and working capital needs in a conservative manner. With a credit rating of A from Standard & Poors and A3 from Moody's Investor Services, we have the highest unsecured credit rating of any public REIT. We intend to maintain a conservative approach to managing our balance sheet, which, in turn, gives us many options to raising debt or equity capital when needed. At December 31, 2005, our fixed charge coverage ratio was 2.6 to 1 and our debt to total market capitalization was 38.7%.

Our policies with respect to the investment and operating strategies discussed above are reviewed by our Board of Trust Managers periodically and may be modified without a vote of our shareholders.

Location of Properties. Historically, we have emphasized investments in properties located primarily in the Houston area. Since 1987, we began actively acquiring properties outside Houston. Of our 360 properties that were owned or operated under long-term leases, either directly or through our interest in joint ventures or partnerships, as of December 31, 2005, 81 are located in the Houston metropolitan area and an additional 95 properties are located in other parts of Texas. We also have 12 parcels of unimproved land, nine of which are located in the Houston area and two of which are 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, our business and operations.

Although 2005 was a busy hurricane season, we had minimal damage to our properties from hurricanes Katrina and Rita.

The national economy showed improvement in 2005 and many indicators show that the southern US economies outperformed the national averages. Many of our operating areas throughout the southern United States are showing strong diversified economies with very few sectors being affected by changing energy prices. In 2005 the unemployment rates in most of our markets were equal to or below the national average, and inflation in our markets was also less pronounced than the rest of the country. The US economy is expected to maintain its current upward momentum in 2006 - especially in the south where the majority of our assets are located. Any downturn in the economy could adversely affect us; however, the majority of our properties are located in densely populated metropolitan areas and are anchored by supermarkets and discount stores, which generally provide basic necessity-type items and tend to be less affected by economic changes.

Competition. Within our peer group of publicly held owners and operators of neighborhood and community shopping centers, we are in the top tier based on revenues and total market capitalization. There are numerous other developers and real estate companies (both public and private), financial institutions and other investors engaged in the development, acquisition and operation of shopping centers and commercial property which compete with us in our trade areas. This results in competition for the acquisition of both existing income-producing properties and prime development sites. There is also competition for tenants to occupy the space that is developed, acquired and managed by our competitors or us.

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 and the practice of continuous maintenance and renovation of our properties.

Materials Available on Our Website. Copies of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K, and amendments to those reports, as well as Reports on Forms 3, 4 and 5 regarding Officers, Trustees or 10% Beneficial Owners of the Company, filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a), 15(d) or 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 are available free of charge through our website (www.weingarten.com) as soon as reasonably practicable after we electronically file the material with, or furnish it to, the Securities and Exchange Commission.

General. In 2005 no single property accounted for more than 2.5% of our total assets or 1.5% of gross revenues. Four properties, in the aggregate, represented approximately 5.5% of our gross revenues for the year ended December 31, 2005; otherwise, none of the remaining properties accounted for more than 1.3% of our gross revenues during the same period. The weighted average occupancy rate for all of our improved properties as of December 31, 2005 was 94.2% compared to 94.3% as of December 31, 2004.

Substantially all of our properties are owned directly by us (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.

We currently participate in 55 joint ventures or partnerships that hold 66 of our properties. Our ownership interest ranges from 20% to 99%; we are normally the managing partner and receive a management fee for acting in this capacity, and these entities have typical buy/sell provisions that allow any partner to exit at his option. Twenty-eight of these ventures have an unlimited life, 25 have lives in excess of 30 years and two ventures expire in 2012 and 2013, respectively.

Also, the DownREIT operating partnership structure is utilized in the acquisition of certain real estate properties. In these transactions, a fair value purchase price is agreed upon between us, as general partner of the DownREIT, and the seller where the seller receives operating partnership units in exchange for some or all of its ownership interest in the property. Each operating partnership unit is the equivalent of one of our common share of beneficial interest. Also, these ventures generally allow our partners the right to put their limited partnership interest in the entity on or after the first anniversary of the entity’s formation. We may acquire these limited partnership interests that are put to the partnership, and we have the option to redeem the interest in cash or a fixed number of our common shares at our discretion.

Shopping Centers. As of December 31, 2005, we owned or operated under long-term leases, either directly or through our interest in joint ventures or partnerships, 296 shopping centers with approximately 37.1 million square feet of building area. The shopping centers were located predominantly in Texas with other locations in Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Missouri, Nevada, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Utah and Washington.

Our 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 6,900 separate leases with 5,200 different tenants. Included among our top revenue-producing tenants are: Albertsons, Barnes & Noble, Blockbuster Video, Dollar Tree, Fiesta, Gap, H-E-B, Harris Teeter, Hollywood Video, Home Depot, Kroger, Linens ‘ n Things, Marshall’s, Office Depot, Office Max, Petco, Petsmart, Publix, Raley’s, Ross Dress for Less, Safeway, Stage Stores, Staples, Stein Mart, and Toys ‘R’ Us. The diversity of our tenant base is also evidenced by the fact that our largest tenant accounted for 3.1% of rental revenues during 2005.

In the ordinary course of business, we have tenants that file for bankruptcy protection. The communication and timing of store closings varies by retailer; however, we believe the effect of these bankruptcies will not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations. Also, we would not expect other retailer bankruptcies to have a significant effect on our liquidity due to the significant diversification of our tenant base.


14


Our 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 25 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, market conditions or an 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 paid directly by tenants except where common metering exists with respect to a center. In this case we make payments for the utilities, and the tenants on a monthly basis reimburse us. 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 2005 we invested $275.5 million in the acquisition of operating retail properties. Of this total, $267.9 million was invested in 13 shopping centers, a building adjacent to one of our shopping centers and an additional $7.6 million was invested in a 25%-owned unconsolidated joint venture to acquire two retail properties. These combined acquisitions added 1.9 million square feet to our portfolio.

In January 2005 we acquired Flamingo Pines Shopping Center, a 257,000 square foot shopping center, which is located in Pembroke Pines, Florida, a suburb of Fort Lauderdale. Publix and the U.S. Post Office anchor this retail center.

In March 2005 we acquired Ravenstone Commons Shopping Center, a 60,000 square foot shopping center, which is located in Durham, North Carolina, a suburb of Raleigh. Food Lion and Blockbuster anchor this retail center.

In April 2005 we acquired three additional retail centers adding 765,000 square feet to the portfolio. Pinecrest Plaza Shopping Center is located in Pinehurst, North Carolina and is anchored by Food Lion, Belk’s, Michael’s and Pier One. Thompson Bridge Commons is located in Gainesville, Georgia and is anchored by Kroger. Best in the West Shopping Center is located in Las Vegas, Nevada and is anchored by Best Buy, Office Depot and PetsMart.

In May 2005 a 25%-owned unconsolidated joint venture acquired an interest in Lake Washington Crossing Shopping Center, a 119,000 square foot shopping center, which is located in Melbourne, Florida. Publix and Beall’s department store anchor this retail center. Also, we acquired Marshall’s Plaza Shopping Center; a 79,000 square foot shopping center located in Modesto, California and is anchored by Marshall’s.

In June 2005 we acquired a package of three properties in North Carolina. Bull City Market, a 43,000 square foot shopping center in Durham, is anchored by Whole Foods Market. Steele Creek Crossing, located in Charlotte, occupies 77,000 square feet and is anchored by BI-LO and Eckerd. Johnston Road Plaza, also located in Charlotte, contains 80,000 square feet and is anchored by Food Lion. These North Carolina acquisitions were acquired in a limited partnership utilizing a DownREIT structure and are included in our consolidated financial statements because we exercise financial and operating control.

In July 2005 we purchased Millpond Center, a 117,000 square foot shopping center located in Lexington, Kentucky and anchored by Kroger.

In October 2005 Whitehall Commons Shopping Center was acquired. This 33,000 square foot shopping center is located in Charlotte, North Carolina and is anchored by a corporately owned Lowe’s and a corporately owned Wal-Mart.

In November 2005 we acquired Commons at Dexter Lake Phase II, which is adjacent to Phase I, which we own. The 62,000 square foot shopping center is located in Memphis, Tennessee and is anchored by Marshall’s.

In December 2005 we acquired Uintah Gardens Shopping Center, which is located in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The shopping center is anchored by King Soopers and contains 212,000 square feet. We also acquired a 100,000 square foot building adjacent to our North Oaks Shopping Center in Houston. We plan to redevelop this building to enhance our existing shopping center. We also acquired Chatham Crossing Shopping Center, a 96,000 square foot shopping center located in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, through a 25% owned unconsolidated joint venture.

We currently have nine retail developments underway which, upon completion, will represent an investment of approximately $114 million and will add 851,000 square feet to the portfolio. These projects should commence operations during 2006 and into 2007.

In 2005 we sold 13 retail properties and a vacant building, ten of which were located in Texas and one each in Louisiana, Mississippi and Arkansas. We also sold an 80% interest in two shopping centers in Louisiana, which are held in tenancy-in-common arrangements in which we retained a 20% interest.

Industrial Properties. At December 31, 2005, we owned, either directly or through our interest in joint ventures or partnerships, 64 industrial projects with approximately 11.7 million square feet of building area. Our industrial properties consist of bulk warehouse, business distribution and office-service center assets ranging in size from 27,000 to 727,000 square feet. Similar to our shopping centers, these properties are customarily constructed of masonry, steel and glass, and have lighted, concrete parking areas and are well landscaped. The national and regional tenants in our industrial centers include Hitachi Transport Systems, Sears Logistics, Publix, Shell, Rooms to Go, UPS Supply Chain Solutions, Sanderson Industries, Distribution International, Stone Container, General Electric Company, G.E. Polymershapes, Inc., Interline Brands, Inc., Northrop Grumman, Federal Canstar Inc., Rooftop Systems Inc., Wells Fargo Bank, and Iron Mountain. Its properties are located in California, Florida, Georgia, Tennessee and Texas. During 2005 we invested $83.5 million in the acquisition of seven industrial properties totaling 1.9 million square feet, and we sold two industrial properties in Texas and one in Nevada.

In February 2005 Kennesaw 75 Business Park was acquired. This 178,000 square foot business park is located in Kennesaw, Georgia, a suburb of Atlanta.

In July 2005 we acquired Freeport Business Center. This 251,000 square foot business park is located in Stafford, Texas.

In September 2005 we acquired Central Plano Business Park. The business park contains 138,000 square feet and is located in Plano, Texas.

In October 2005 we acquired ISOM Business Park in San Antonio, Texas. The business park contains 175,000 square feet.

In November 2005 Tampa East Industrial in Tampa, Florida was acquired. The business center contains 13 building/warehouse/distribution and service centers containing 513,000 square feet.

In December 2005 we acquired Southpoint I and II. The business park contained 571,000 square feet and is located in Memphis, Tennessee. We also acquired 1625 Diplomat, which contains 106,000 square feet and is located in Carrollton, Texas.

Other. In 2005 we began development of a 224-unit apartment complex within a multi-use master planned project. This represents Phase II of a project where the initial phase was completed in 2001. We anticipate completing the project in early 2007.


16


Unimproved Land. At December 31, 2005, we owned 12 parcels of unimproved land consisting of approximately 3.7 million square feet of land area located in Texas and Louisiana. These properties include approximately 2.4 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 1.3 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 we intend to emphasize the development of these parcels for such purpose.

SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" requires the operating results and gain (loss) on the sale of operating properties to be reported as discontinued operations.

(2)
The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts defines funds from operations as net income (loss) available to common shareholders computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, excluding gains or losses from sales of operating properties and extraordinary items, plus depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, including our share of unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. We calculate FFO in a manner consistent with the NAREIT definition. We believe FFO is an appropriate supplemental measure of operating performance because it helps investors compare our operating performance relative to other REITs. There can be no assurance that FFO presented by us is comparable to similarly titled measures of other REITs. FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income or other measurements under GAAP as an indicator of our operating performance or to cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities as a measure of liquidity. FFO does not reflect working capital changes, cash expenditures for capital improvements or principal payments on indebtedness.

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. Our results of operations and financial condition, as reflected in the accompanying financial statements and related footnotes, are subject to management's evaluation and interpretation of business conditions, retailer performance, changing capital market conditions and other factors which could affect the ongoing viability of our tenants.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Annual Report includes certain forward-looking statements reflecting our 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 our expectations will be realized.

Executive Overview

Weingarten Realty Investors is a real estate investment trust (REIT) that has been in the business of owning and developing shopping centers and other commercial real estate since 1948. We attempt to deliver superior rates of return to shareholders by actively developing, acquiring and intensively managing properties in 20 states that span the southern portion of the United States from coast to coast. Our portfolio of properties includes neighborhood and community shopping centers and industrial properties aggregating over 48.7 million square feet. We have a diversified tenant base with our largest tenant comprising only 3.1% of total rental revenues during 2005.

We focus on increasing Funds from Operations and increasing dividend payments to our common shareholders. We do this through hands-on leasing, management and selected redevelopment of the existing portfolio of properties, through disciplined growth from selective acquisitions and new developments, and through the disposition of assets that no longer meet our ownership criteria. We do this while remaining committed to maintaining a conservative balance sheet, a well-staggered debt maturity schedule and strong credit agency ratings.

At December 31, 2005, we owned or operated under long-term leases, either directly or through our interest in joint ventures or partnerships, a total of 353 developed, income-producing properties and seven properties that are in various stages of development. Our properties include 296 shopping centers and 64 industrial properties. We have approximately 6,900 leases and 5,200 different tenants. Leases for our properties range from less than a year for smaller spaces to over 25 years for larger tenants. Rental revenues generally include minimum lease payments (which often increase over the lease term), reimbursements of property operating expenses, including ad valorem taxes, and additional rent payments based on a percentage of the tenants' sales. The majority of our anchor tenants are supermarkets, value-oriented apparel/discount stores and other retailers or service providers who generally sell basic necessity-type goods and services. We believe stability of our anchor tenants, combined with convenient locations, attractive and well-maintained properties, high quality retailers and a strong tenant mix, should ensure the long-term success of our merchants and the viability of our portfolio.

19


In assessing the performance of our properties, management carefully tracks the occupancy of the portfolio. Occupancy for the total portfolio was 94.2% at December 31, 2005 compared to 94.3% at December 31, 2004. Another important indicator of performance is the spread in rental rates on a same-space basis as we complete new leases and renew existing leases. We completed 1,298 new leases or renewals in 2005 totaling 6.8 million square feet; increasing rental rates an average of 7.0% on a same-space basis.

With respect to external growth through acquisitions and new developments, management closely monitors movements in returns in relation to our blended weighted average cost of capital, the amount of product in the acquisition and new development pipelines and the geographic areas in which opportunities are present. We acquired 15 shopping centers, a building adjacent to one of our Houston shopping centers and seven industrial properties in 2005 comprising 3.9 million square feet, and representing a total investment of $359.0 million, which included investments made through joint ventures or partnerships. Our purchases include seven in North Carolina, four in Texas, three in Florida, two each in Georgia and Tennessee, and one in California, Nevada, Colorado and Kentucky.

With respect to new development, we completed three retail projects during 2005 totaling 88,000 square feet, representing an investment of $11.0 million. As of December 31, 2005, we had nine retail projects and one apartment complex in various stages of development. These projects, upon completion, will represent an investment of $128.4 million and add 1.1 million square feet to the portfolio. Anchored by market-dominant supermarkets or national discount department stores, these properties are slated to open during 2006 and into 2007.

Continuing our strategy of selling assets that no longer meet our ownership criteria, we sold 17 properties in 2005. These dispositions included 13 shopping centers, three industrial properties and a vacant building. In addition, we sold an 80% interest in two shopping centers located in Louisiana. These property sales represented a total of 1.6 million square feet and provided proceeds of $190.6 million, generating a gain of $87.2 million.

We continue to maintain a strong, conservative capital structure, which provides ready access to a variety of attractive capital sources. We carefully balance obtaining low cost financing with minimizing exposure to interest rate movements, matching long-term liabilities with the long-term assets acquired or developed.

With respect to future trends, management expects continued improvement in the performance of the existing portfolio through further increases in occupancy and increases in rental rates as the economy moves forward. Any deterioration in the economy could alter these expectations. We are also committed to an accelerated disposition plan for non-core properties. We will be disposing of properties in smaller markets where we have a minimal investment or markets with slower growth rates, which are often the markets that have low barriers to entry. We plan to sell $250 million to $350 million of non-core assets in 2006, which will allow us to recycle capital and lessen our need to raise new equity. Also, we anticipate selling or contributing an additional $100 million to $150 million of properties to new joint ventures. Through the use of joint ventures we expect to earn more fee revenue from managing properties. Also, we are expanding our new development program, which will include a merchant developer component where we will build, lease and then sell the developed real estate.
 
During the first quarter of 2006, three retail properties were sold, which represented a total of .5 million square feet and provided proceeds of $34.6 million and are reported as part of discontinued operations. Subsequently, an industrial and retail project were sold, which represented a total of .2 million square feet and provided proceeds of $22.9 million, and are not reported as part of discontinued operations. Also, we have purchased an industrial property totaling $23 million in the first quarter of 2006 and have over $125 million of properties in the acquisition pipeline. These potential acquisitions are still subject to a stringent due diligence process and, therefore, there is no assurance that any or all will be purchased. Changes in interest and capitalization rates inherent in the pricing of acquisitions could affect our external growth prospects for 2006.

Summary of Critical Accounting Policies

Our discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and contingencies as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Among the more significant ones are the depreciable lives of our assets, the allocation of purchase price on acquisitions, the recoverability of our receivables, our consolidation policy and our impairment review of property. We evaluate our assumptions and estimates on an on-going basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

Basis of Presentation
Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of our subsidiaries and certain partially owned joint ventures or partnerships, which meet the guidelines for consolidation. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Such statements require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts on our consolidated financial statements.

Partially Owned Joint Ventures and Partnerships
To determine the method of accounting for partially owned joint ventures or partnerships, we first apply the guidelines set forth in FASB Interpretation No. 46R, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities." Based upon our analysis, we have determined that we have no variable interest entities.

Partially owned joint ventures or partnerships over which we exercise financial and operating control are consolidated in our financial statements. In determining if we exercise financial and operating control, we consider factors such as ownership interest, authority to make decisions, kick-out rights and substantive participating rights. Partially owned joint ventures and partnerships where we have the ability to exercise significant influence, but do not exercise financial and operating 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, which begins the earlier of the date the leasehold improvements are substantially complete, if owned by us, or the date the tenant takes control of the space, if the leasehold improvements are owned by the tenant. 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 is recognized only after the tenant exceeds their sales breakpoint.

Accrued Rent and Accounts Receivable
Receivable balances outstanding include base rents, tenant reimbursements and receivables attributable to the straight-lining of rental commitments. An allowance for the uncollectible portion of accrued rents and accounts receivable is determined based upon an analysis of balances outstanding, historical bad debt levels, tenant credit worthiness and current economic trends. Additionally, estimates of the expected recovery of pre-petition and post-petition claims with respect to tenants in bankruptcy are considered in assessing the collectibility of the related receivables.

21


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 where the betterment extends the useful life of the asset 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.

Acquisitions of properties are accounted for utilizing the purchase method (as set forth in SFAS No. 141 and SFAS No. 142) and, accordingly, the results of operations of an acquired property are included in our results of operations from the respective dates of acquisition. We have used estimates of future cash flows and other valuation techniques to allocate the purchase price of acquired property among land, buildings on an "as if vacant" basis, and other identifiable intangibles. Other identifiable intangible assets and liabilities include the effect of out-of-market leases, the value of having leases in place, out-of-market assumed mortgages and tenant relationships.

Property also includes costs incurred in the development of new operating properties. These costs include preacquisition costs directly identifiable with the specific project, development and construction costs, interest and real estate taxes. Indirect development costs, including salaries and benefits, travel and other related costs that are clearly attributable to the development of the property, are also capitalized. The capitalization of such costs ceases at the earlier of one year from the completion of major construction or when the property, or any completed portion, becomes available for occupancy.

Property includes costs for tenant improvements paid by us, including reimbursements to tenants for improvements that will remain our property after the lease expires.

Our 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 is adjusted, if necessary, to estimated fair value to reflect an impairment in the value of the asset.

Results of Operations
Comparison of the Year Ended December 31, 2005 to the Year Ended December 31, 2004

Revenues
Total revenues increased by $51.4 million or 10.6% in 2005 ($537.9 million in 2005 versus $486.5 million in 2004). This increase resulted primarily from the increase in rental revenues of $53.4 million and a decrease in other income of $2.0 million. Property acquisitions and new development activity contributed $41.3 million of the rental income increase with $16.2 million resulting from our existing properties, based on the occupancy and average rental rate factors described below. Offsetting these rental income increases was a decrease of $4.1 million, which resulted from the sale of an 80% interest in two retail centers in Louisiana.

Occupancy (leased space) of the portfolio as compared to the prior year was as follows:

In 2005 we completed 1,298 renewals and new leases comprising 6.8 million square feet at an average rental rate increase of 7.0%.

22


Other income decreased by $2.0 million or 23.0% in 2005 ($6.7 million in 2005 versus $8.7 million in 2004). This decrease was due primarily to a decrease in lease cancellation payments from various tenants.

Expenses
Total expenses increased by $23.8 million or 9.1% in 2005 ($285.3 million in 2005 versus $261.5 million in 2004).

The increases in 2005 for depreciation and amortization expense ($13.6 million), operating expenses ($5.4 million) and ad valorem taxes ($7.2 million) were primarily a result of the properties acquired and developed during the year. Overall, direct operating costs and expenses (operating and ad valorem tax expense) of operating our properties as a percentage of rental revenues were 27% in both 2005 and 2004.

General and administrative expenses increased by $1.3 million or 8.1% in 2005 ($17.4 million in 2005 versus $16.1 million in 2004). This increase resulted primarily from normal compensation increases as well as increases in staffing necessitated by the growth in the portfolio. General and administrative expense as a percentage of rental revenues was 3% in both 2005 and 2004.

Impairment loss of $3.6 million in 2004 related to a parcel of land held for development in Houston, Texas, which was sold in December 2004, and one retail property in Houston and one retail property in Port Arthur, Texas.

Other
Interest expense increased by $13.7 million or 11.7% in 2005 ($130.8 million in 2005 versus $117.1 million in 2004). The components of interest expense were as follows (in thousands):

Gross interest expense increased $15.2 million ($140.3 million in 2005 versus $125.1 million in 2004) due to an increase in the average debt outstanding from $2.0 billion in 2004 to $2.2 billion in 2005 and an increase in the weighted average interest rate between the two periods from 5.9% in 2004 to 6.1% in 2005. The increase in the over-market mortgage adjustment of $1.9 million resulted from our property acquisitions. Capitalized interest decreased $2.4 million due to completion of new development projects in 2004.

Interest and other income increased by $1.5 million ($2.9 million in 2005 versus $1.4 million in 2004) due to interest earned from a qualified escrow account for the purposes of like-kind exchanges and construction loans advanced for new development activities.

Loss on redemption of preferred shares of $3.6 million in 2004 represents the unamortized original issuance costs related to the Series C Cumulative Preferred Shares redeemed in April 2004.

Equity in earnings of joint ventures increased by $1.2 million or 22.2% in 2005 ($6.6 million in 2005 versus $5.4 million in 2004). This increase is due primarily to the acquisition of three retail properties in two newly formed unconsolidated joint ventures during 2005 and a gain from the disposition of an unimproved land tract. Also contributing to this increase is the sale of an 80% interest in two retail properties during 2005, which are held in tenancy-in-common arrangements in which we retained a 20% interest, and the acquisitions of five retail properties in 2004, each through a 50% unconsolidated joint venture.


23


Income allocated to minority interests increased by $1.2 million or 24.5% in 2005 ($6.1 million in 2005 versus $4.9 million in 2004). This increase resulted primarily from the acquisition of five retail properties during 2004 and three retail properties in June 2005 through limited partnerships utilizing the DownREIT structure. These limited partnerships are consolidated in our consolidated financial statements because we exercise financial and operating control.

Gain on land sales of $.8 million represents the gain from the sale of an unimproved land tract in Orlando, Florida.

Gain on sale of properties increased by $20.8 million in 2005 ($22.3 million in 2005 versus $1.5 million in 2004). The increase was due primarily to the sale of an 80% interest in two shopping centers in Lafayette and Shreveport, Louisiana totaling 295,000 square feet. Due to our continuing involvement with the leasing and managing of operations for both properties, the operating results of these properties have not been reclassified and reported as discontinued operations. The gain on the sale of our 80% interest in these two properties totaled $21.7 million.

Income from discontinued operations increased by $37.7 million ($71.3 million in 2005 versus $33.6 million in 2004). Included in this caption for 2005 are the operating results and gain from disposition of 16 properties and a vacant building totaling 1.3 million square feet that provided sales proceeds of $133.8 million and generated gains of $65.5 million. Included in this caption for 2004 are the operating results of properties disposed in 2005 and the disposition of five properties and one free-standing building totaling .7 million square feet in 2004. The 2004 dispositions provided sales proceeds of $49.9 million and generated gains of $24.9 million. Also, the operating results for both 2005 and 2004 include the disposition of three properties during the first quarter of 2006.

Comparison of the Year Ended December 31, 2004 to the Year Ended December 31, 2003

Revenues
Total revenues increased by $89.4 million or 22.5% in 2004 ($486.5 million in 2004 versus $397.1 million in 2003). This increase resulted primarily from the increase in rental revenues of $87.7 million and other income of $1.7 million. Property acquisitions and new development activity contributed $77.3 million of the rental income increase with the remainder of $10.4 million due to the activity at our existing properties, based on the occupancy and average rental rate factors described below.

In 2004 we completed 1,337 renewals and new leases comprising 5.6 million square feet at an average rental rate increase of 6.2%.

Other income increased by $1.7 million or 24.3% in 2004 ($8.7 million in 2004 versus $7.0 million in 2003). This increase was due primarily to an increase in lease cancellation payments from various tenants.

Expenses
Total expenses increased by $53.8 million or 25.9% in 2004 ($261.5 million in 2004 versus $207.7 million in 2003).

The increases in 2004 for depreciation and amortization expense ($23.3 million), operating expenses ($14.1 million) and ad valorem taxes ($10.6 million) were primarily a result of the properties acquired and developed during the year. Overall, direct operating costs and expenses (operating and ad valorem tax expense) of operating our properties as a percentage of rental revenues were 27% in both 2004 and 2003.

General and administrative expenses increased by $2.3 million or 16.7% in 2004 ($16.1 million in 2004 versus $13.8 million in 2003). This increase resulted primarily from normal compensation increases as well as increases in staffing necessitated by the growth in the portfolio. General and administrative expense as a percentage of rental revenues was 3% in 2004 and 4% in 2003.

Impairment loss of $3.6 million relates to a parcel of land held for development in Houston, Texas, which was sold in December 2004, and one retail property in Houston and one retail property in Port Arthur, Texas. The estimated holding period and the estimated future cash flows to be generated from these assets were revised which resulted in the impairment losses.

Gross interest expense increased $30.9 million ($125.1 million in 2004 versus $94.2 million in 2003) due to an increase in the average debt outstanding from $1.5 billion in 2003 to $2.0 billion in 2004. This was offset by a decrease in the weighted average interest rate between the two periods from 6.1% in 2003 to 5.9% in 2004. Interest on preferred shares subject to mandatory redemption decreased $1.4 million due to the redemption of the Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares in December 2003. Increase in the over-market mortgage adjustment of $4.0 million resulted from our 2004 property acquisitions. Capitalized interest decreased $1.4 million due to completion of new development projects in 2004.

Loss on redemption of preferred shares of $3.6 million in 2004 represents the unamortized original issuance costs related to the Series C Cumulative Preferred Shares redeemed in April 2004. In 2003 the $2.7 million loss on redemption of preferred shares was the unamortized original issuance costs related to the Series B Cumulative Preferred Shares redeemed in December 2003.

Equity in earnings of joint ventures increased by $.7 million or 14.9% in 2004 ($5.4 million in 2004 versus $4.7 million in 2003). This increase is due primarily to the acquisition of five retail properties, each through a 50%-owned unconsolidated joint venture.

Income allocated to minority interests increased by $2.2 million or 81.5% in 2004 ($4.9 million in 2004 versus $2.7 million in 2003). This increase resulted primarily from our interest in four retail properties whose net income increased from the completion of new development activities in the latter part of 2003. Also contributing to the increase was the acquisition of five retail properties through limited partnerships utilizing a DownREIT structure. These limited partnerships are consolidated in our consolidated financial statements because we exercise financial and operating control.

Income from discontinued operations increased $18.0 million in 2004 ($33.6 million in 2004 versus $15.6 million in 2003). Included in this caption for 2004 are the operating results of properties disposed in 2005 and the disposition of five properties and one free-standing building totaling .7 million square feet in 2004. These 2004 dispositions provided sales proceeds of $49.9 million and generated gains of $24.9 million. Included in this caption for 2003 are the operating results of properties disposed in 2005 and 2004 plus the disposition of five properties and two free-standing buildings totaling .4 million square feet in 2003. The 2003 dispositions provided sales proceeds of $17.2 million and generated gains of $6.0 million. Also, the operating results for both 2004 and 2003 include the disposition of three properties during the first quarter of 2006.

Effects of Inflation

We have structured our leases in such a way as to remain largely unaffected should significant inflation occur. Most of the leases contain percentage rent provisions whereby we receive increased 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 our leases are for terms of less than ten years, which allow us to adjust rental rates to changing market conditions when the leases expire. Most of our leases also 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 our operating results as they are absorbed by our tenants.

Capital Resources and Liquidity

Our primary liquidity needs are payment of our common and preferred dividends, maintaining and operating our existing properties, payment of debt service costs, and funding planned growth. We anticipate that cash flows from operating activities will continue to provide adequate capital for all common and preferred dividend payments and debt service costs, as well as the capital necessary to maintain and operate our existing properties. Our primary sources of capital for funding acquisitions and new development are our $400 million revolving credit facility and cash generated from dispositions of properties that no longer meet our investment criteria and cash flow generated by our operating properties. Amounts outstanding under the revolving credit agreement are retired as needed with proceeds from the issuance of long-term unsecured debt, common and preferred equity, cash generated from dispositions of properties, and cash flow generated by our operating properties. As of December 31, 2005 and February 28, 2006, the balance outstanding on our $400 million revolving credit facility was $190.0 million and $195.0 million, respectively, and $20.0 million and $14.6 million, respectively, was outstanding under the $20 million credit facility used for cash management purposes.

Our capital structure also includes nonrecourse secured debt that we assume in conjunction with some of our acquisitions. We also have nonrecourse debt secured by newly developed properties held in several of our joint ventures. We hedge the future cash flows of certain debt transactions, as well as changes in the fair value of our debt instruments, principally through interest rate swaps with major financial institutions. We generally have the right to sell or otherwise dispose of our assets except in certain cases where we are required to obtain a third party consent, such as assets held in entities in which we have less than 100% ownership.

Investing Activities—Acquisitions
In 2005 we invested $351.4 million in the acquisition of 13 shopping centers, a building adjacent to one of our shopping centers and seven industrial properties. An additional $7.6 million was invested in a 25%-owned unconsolidated joint venture to acquire two retail properties. The cash requirements for these acquisitions were initially financed either under our revolving credit facilities, using available cash generated from dispositions of properties or cash flow generated by our operating properties.

Investing Activities—Dispositions
In 2005 thirteen shopping centers and a vacant retail building in Lubbock, Texas were sold. Ten of the shopping centers were located in Texas and one each in Louisiana, Arkansas and Mississippi. In addition, we sold three industrial properties in Las Vegas, Nevada and Grapevine and Austin, Texas. We also sold an 80% interest in two additional shopping centers located in Shreveport and Lafayette, Louisiana. These 19 properties, totaling 1.6 million square feet, provided sales proceeds of $190.6 million and generated gains of $87.2 million.

Investing Activities—New Development and Capital Expenditures
With respect to new development, we completed three retail projects during 2005 totaling 88,000 square feet, representing an investment of $11.0 million. As of December 31, 2005, we had nine retail projects and one apartment complex in various stages of development. These projects, upon completion, will represent an investment of $128.4 million and add 1.1 million square feet to the portfolio. We expect to invest $60.1 million in these projects in 2006, and they are slated to open during 2006 and into 2007. All new development in 2005 was initially financed under our revolving credit facilities, using available cash generated from dispositions of properties or cash flow generated by our operating properties.

26


Capital expenditures for additions to the existing portfolio, acquisitions, new development and investments in unconsolidated joint ventures totaled $455.1 million in 2005 and $610.1 million in 2004.

Financing Activities—Debt
Total debt outstanding increased to $2.3 billion at December 31, 2005 from $2.1 billion at December 31, 2004, due primarily to funding of acquisitions and new development. Total debt at December 31, 2005 includes $2.0 billion of which interest rates are fixed and $313.8 million, which bears interest at variable rates, including the effect of $80.0 million of interest rate swaps. Additionally, debt totaling $842.1 million was secured by operating properties while the remaining $1.5 billion was unsecured.

At December 31, 2005, we had a $400 million unsecured revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks. This facility bears interest at LIBOR plus a grid-based margin tied to our senior unsecured credit agency ratings, which is currently 50 basis points on amounts outstanding. We pay an additional facility fee of 15 basis points on the entire facility amount. Under this facility, we are allowed to request bids for borrowings up to $200 million from the syndicate banks. As of December 31, 2005, we had $190.0 million outstanding under the competitive bid provision at 17 basis points over LIBOR.

In February 2006 we amended and restated our $400 million unsecured revolving credit facility. Terms and conditions of this facility held by a syndicate of banks are not materially different from the agreement executed in 2003. The amended facility has an initial four-year term and provides a one-year extension option available at our request. Borrowing rates under this amended facility float at a margin over LIBOR, plus a facility fee. The borrowing margin and facility fee, which are currently 35 and 12.5 basis points, respectively, are priced off a grid that is tied to our senior unsecured credit ratings. The amended facility retains its competitive bid feature that allows us to request bids for amounts up to $200 million from the syndicate banks. Additionally, the amended facility contains an accordion feature, which will allow us to increase the facility amount up to $600 million. As of February 28, 2006, the balance outstanding on this facility was $195.0 million all under the competitive bid provision at 17 basis points over LIBOR. We also maintain a $20 million unsecured and uncommitted overnight facility that is used for cash management purposes, of which $14.6 million was outstanding at February 28, 2006. We are in full compliance with the covenants of this facility.

During the year ended December 31, 2004, we issued a total of $375 million of unsecured fixed-rate medium term notes with a weighted average interest rate of 5.2%, net of the effect of related interest rate swaps, and a weighted average term of 9.3 years. Proceeds received from the medium term note issuances were used to pay down amounts outstanding under our revolving credit facilities.

In December 2005 we entered into two forward-starting interest rate swaps, with a notional amount of $59.3 million each, to mitigate the risk of changes in the interest rates on forecasted long-term debt issuances over a maximum period of two years. These contracts have been designated as cash flow hedges.

During 2005 we had four interest rate swap contracts with an aggregate notional amount of $52.5 million mature. All of these contracts were designated as fair value hedges.

At December 31, 2005, we have six remaining fair value interest rate swap contracts with an aggregate notional amount of $80.0 million that convert fixed rate interest payments ranging from 4.2% to 6.8% to variable interest payments.

In 2004 two interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges and two interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges expired. Also, we settled various forward-starting interest rate swaps designed to hedge the cash flow of forecasted interest payments on future debt. These contracts were designated as cash flow hedges and net losses on the settlement of these cash flow hedges totaling $5.0 million were recorded to Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss and are being amortized to interest expense over the life of the hedged item.

27


The effect of the fair value interest rate swap activity in 2005, 2004, and 2003 was to decrease interest expense and increase net income by $1.3 million, $3.5 million, and $2.3 million, respectively, and to decrease the average rate on our debt by .1% in 2005 and by .2% in both 2004 and 2003. We could be exposed to credit losses in the event of nonperformance by the counter-party; however, management believes the likelihood of such nonperformance to be remote.

In conjunction with acquisitions completed during 2005 and 2004, we assumed $135.3 million and $140.7 million, respectively, of nonrecourse debt secured by the related properties.

Financing Activities—Equity
Common and preferred dividends increased to $167.2 million in 2005, compared to $152.4 million for 2004. The dividend rate for the common shares for each quarter of 2005 was $.44 compared to $.415 for the same periods in 2004. Our dividend payout ratio on common equity for 2005, 2004 and 2003 approximated 64.3%, 66.1%, and 68.8%, respectively, based on funds from operations for the applicable period.

In September 2004 the SEC declared effective two shelf registration statements registering $1.55 billion of debt and equity securities, all of which was available as of February 28, 2006. In addition, we have $160.4 million available as of February 28, 2006 under our $1 billion shelf registration statement, which became effective in April 2003. We will continue to closely monitor both the debt and equity markets and carefully consider our available financing alternatives, including both public and private placements.

In February 2004 a three-for-two share split, effected in the form of a 50% share dividend, was declared for shareholders of record on March 16, 2004, payable March 30, 2004. We issued 28.5 million common shares of beneficial interest as a result of the share split. All references to the number of shares and per share amounts have been restated to reflect the share split, and an amount equal to the par value of the number of common shares issued have been reclassified to Common Shares of Beneficial Interest from Accumulated Dividends in Excess of Net Income.

In March 2004 we issued an additional 3.6 million common shares of beneficial interest. Net proceeds to us totaled $118.0 million. The proceeds from this offering were used primarily to redeem our 7.0% Series C Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares on April 1, 2004. The unamortized original issuance costs of $3.6 million for these shares were reported as a loss in arriving at Operating Income.

In August 2004 we issued an additional 3.2 million common shares of beneficial interest. Net proceeds to us totaled $101.9 million. The proceeds from this offering were used to pay down amounts outstanding under our $400 million revolving credit facility.

In July 2004 we issued $72.5 million of depositary shares. Each depositary share represents one-hundredth of a Series E Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Share. The depositary shares are redeemable, in whole or in part, for cash on or after July 8, 2009 at our option, at a redemption price of $25 per depositary share, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends thereon. The depositary shares are not convertible or exchangeable for any of our other property or securities. The Series E preferred shares pay a 6.95% annual dividend and have a liquidation value of $2,500 per share. Net proceeds of $70.2 million were utilized to pay down amounts outstanding under our $400 million revolving credit facility.

Subsequent to year-end, our board of trust managers authorized up to $100 million for the purchase of outstanding common shares of beneficial interest. Share repurchases may be made in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions during the next twelve months.

(1) Includes principal and interest with interest on variable-rate debt calculated using rates at December 31, 2005.

As of December 31, 2005 and 2004, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that would materially affect our liquidity or availability of, or requirement for, our capital resources.

Funds from Operations

The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts defines funds from operations as net income (loss) available to common shareholders computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, excluding gains or losses from sales of real estate assets and extraordinary items, plus depreciation and amortization of operating properties, including our share of unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. We calculate FFO in a manner consistent with the NAREIT definition.

We believe FFO is an appropriate supplemental measure of operating performance because it helps investors compare our operating performance relative to other REITs. Management also uses FFO as a supplemental measure to conduct and evaluate our business because there are certain limitations associated with using GAAP net income by itself as the primary measure of our operating performance. Historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values instead have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, management believes that the presentation of operating results for real estate companies that uses historical cost accounting is insufficient by itself. There can be no assurance that FFO presented by us is comparable to similarly titled measures of other REITs.

FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income or other measurements under GAAP as an indicator of our operating performance or to cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities as a measure of liquidity. FFO does not reflect working capital changes, cash expenditures for capital improvements or principal payments on indebtedness.

Newly Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2004 the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment,” which establishes accounting standards for all transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods and services. This accounting standard focuses primarily on equity transactions with employees and will be effective in our reporting for the year beginning January 1, 2006. Through December 31, 2005, we recorded compensation expense over the vesting period on awards granted since January 1, 2003. Awards granted prior to January 1, 2003 were not recorded as compensation expense, but their impact on net income was disclosed. Under SFAS No. 123R, we will also record compensation expense on those awards granted prior to January 1, 2003 as they vest. We believe that the adoption of SFAS No. 123R will not have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In March 2005 the FASB issued Interpretation No. 47 (FIN 47), “Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 143.” This statement clarifies that an entity is required to recognize a liability for the fair value of the obligation when there is a legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity regardless of the timing or dependence upon a future event beyond the entity’s control. The adoption of FIN 47 did not have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In May 2005 the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections - A Replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and SFAS No. 3.” SFAS No. 154 changes the requirements for the accounting and reporting of a change in accounting principle by requiring retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of the change in accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to do so. SFAS No. 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. We believe that the adoption of SFAS No. 154 will not have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.


30


In June 2005 the FASB ratified the consensus in EITF Issue No. 04-5, “Determining Whether a General Partner, or the General Partners as a Group, Controls a Limited Partnership or Similar Entity When the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights.” EITF Issue No. 04-5 expands the definition of when a general partner, or general partners as a group, controls a limited partnership or similar entity. In July 2005 the FASB issued FSP No. SOP 78-9-1, “Interaction of AICPA Statement of Position 78-9 and EITF Issue No. 04-5.” FSP No. SOP 78-9-1 eliminates the concept of “important rights” and replaces it with concepts of “kick-out rights” and “substantive participating rights” as defined in EITF Issue No. 04-5. FSP No. SOP 78-9-1 and EITF Issue No. 04-5 are effective for all general partners of partnerships formed or modified after June 29, 2005, and for all other partnerships the first reporting period beginning after December 15, 2005. We have applied FSP No. SOP 78-9-1 and EITF Issue No. 04-5 to our joint ventures and concluded that these pronouncements did not require consolidation of additional entities.

ITEM 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data
 

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

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

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Weingarten Realty Investors and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005. Our audits also included the financial statement schedules. 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 the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Weingarten Realty Investors and subsidiaries at December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, such financial statement schedules not appearing herein, 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.
 
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, based on the criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated March 7, 2006 expressed an unqualified opinion on management's assessment of the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting and an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Business
Weingarten Realty Investors, a real estate investment trust, is engaged in the management, acquisition and development of real estate, primarily anchored neighborhood and community shopping centers and, to a lesser extent, industrial properties. Over 43% of the building square footage of our portfolio is in Texas, with the remainder located primarily in the southern half of the United States. Our major tenants include supermarkets, discount retailers, drugstores and other merchants who generally sell basic, necessity-type goods and services. We currently operate, and intend to operate in the future, as a real estate investment trust.

Basis of Presentation
Our consolidated statements include the accounts of our subsidiaries and certain partially owned joint ventures or partnerships which meet the guidelines for consolidation. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Such statements require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts on our consolidated financial statements.

Partially Owned Joint Ventures and Partnerships
To determine the method of accounting for partially owned joint ventures or partnerships, we first apply the guidelines set forth in FASB Interpretation No. 46R, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities.” Based upon our analysis, we have determined that we have no variable interest entities.

Partially owned joint ventures or partnerships over which we exercise financial and operating control are consolidated in our financial statements. In determining if we exercise financial and operating control, we consider factors such as ownership interest, authority to make decisions, kick-out rights and substantive participating rights. Partially owned joint ventures and partnerships where we have the ability to exercise significant influence, but do not exercise financial and operating 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, which begins the earlier of the date the leasehold improvements are substantially complete, if owned by us, or the date the tenant takes control of the space, if the leasehold improvements are owned by the tenant. 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 is recognized only after the tenant exceeds their sales breakpoint.

Accrued Rent and Accounts Receivable
Receivable balances outstanding include base rents, tenant reimbursements and receivables attributable to the straight lining of rental commitments. An allowance for the uncollectible portion of accrued rents and accounts receivable is determined based upon an analysis of balances outstanding, historical bad debt levels, customer credit worthiness and current economic trends. Additionally, estimates of the expected recovery of pre-petition and post-petition claims with respect to tenants in bankruptcy are considered in assessing the collectibility of the related receivables.


37


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 where the betterment extends the useful life of the asset 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.

Acquisitions of properties are accounted for utilizing the purchase method (as set forth in SFAS No. 141 and SFAS No. 142) and, accordingly, the results of operations are included in our results of operations from the respective dates of acquisition. We have used estimates of future cash flows and other valuation techniques to allocate the purchase price of acquired property among land, buildings on an "as if vacant" basis, and other identifiable intangibles. Other identifiable intangible assets and liabilities include the effect of out-of-market leases, the value of having leases in place, out-of-market assumed mortgages and tenant relationships.

Property also includes costs incurred in the development of new operating properties. These costs include preacquisition costs directly identifiable with the specific project, development and construction costs, interest and real estate taxes. Indirect development costs, including salaries and benefits, travel and other related costs that are clearly attributable to the development of the property, are also capitalized. The capitalization of such costs ceases at the earlier of one year from the completion of major construction or when the property, or any completed portion, becomes available for occupancy.

Property includes costs for tenant improvements paid by us, including reimbursements to tenants for improvements that will remain our property after the lease expires.

Our 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 is adjusted, if necessary, to estimated fair value to reflect an impairment in the value of the asset.

Interest Capitalization
Interest is capitalized on land under development and buildings under construction based on rates applicable to borrowings outstanding during the period and the weighted average balance of qualified assets under construction during the period.

Deferred Charges
Debt and lease costs are amortized primarily on a straight-line basis, which approximates the effective interest method, over the terms of the debt and over the lives of leases, respectively. Lease costs represent the initial direct costs incurred in origination, negotiation and processing of a lease agreement. Such costs include outside broker commissions and other independent third party costs as well as salaries and benefits, travel and other related internal costs incurred in completing the leases. Costs related to supervision, administration, unsuccessful origination efforts and other activities not directly related to completed lease agreements are charged to expense as incurred.

Options to purchase, in millions: .9, .4 and .5 common shares of beneficial interest in 2005, 2004 and 2003, 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.

Statements of Cash Flows—Additional Data
All highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less are considered cash equivalents. We issued common shares of beneficial interest valued at $1.3 million, $.9 million and $4.2 million during 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively, in exchange for interests in limited partnerships, which had been formed to acquire properties. In connection with purchases and construction of property, we assumed debt and accounts payable totaling $140.2 million, $147.9 million, and $180.2 million during 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively, and a $15.5 million capital lease obligation in December 2004. In connection with the sale of improved properties, this capital lease obligation was settled in February 2005. Also, we issued operating partnership units valued at $6.9 million, $23.4 million and $9.0 million during 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively, in association with property acquisitions. Cash payments for interest on debt, net of amounts capitalized, of $135.4 million, $117.0 million and $85.3 million were made during 2005, 2004, and 2003, respectively. In connection with the sale of an 80% interest in two Louisiana retail properties in April 2005, we assumed debt of $11.1 million and retained a 20% unconsolidated investment of $14.7 million. In satisfaction of obligations under mortgage bonds and notes receivable from WRI Holdings, Inc. of $2.9 million, we acquired 9.7 acres of land in July 2004.

Restricted Deposits and Mortgage Escrows
Restricted deposits and mortgage escrows consist of escrow deposits held by lenders primarily for property taxes, insurance and replacement reserves and restricted cash that is held in a qualified escrow account for the purposes of completing like-kind exchange transactions. At December 31, 2005 and 2004, we had $11.7 million and $10.6 million, respectively, held in escrow.

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

Note 2. Newly Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2004 the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment,” which establishes accounting standards for all transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods and services. This accounting standard focuses primarily on equity transactions with employees and will be effective in our reporting for the year beginning January 1, 2006. Through December 31, 2005, we recorded compensation expense over the vesting period on awards granted since January 1, 2003. Awards granted prior to January 1, 2003 were not recorded as compensation expense, but their impact on net income was disclosed. Under SFAS No. 123R, we will also record compensation expense on those awards granted prior to January 1, 2003 as they vest. We believe that the adoption of SFAS No. 123R will not have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In March 2005 the FASB issued Interpretation No. 47 (FIN 47), “Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 143.” This statement clarifies that an entity is required to recognize a liability for the fair value of the obligation when there is a legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity regardless of the timing or dependence upon a future event beyond the entity’s control. The adoption of FIN 47 did not have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In May 2005 the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections - A Replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and SFAS No. 3.” SFAS No. 154 changes the requirements for the accounting and reporting of a change in accounting principle by requiring retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of the change in accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to do so. SFAS No. 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. We believe that the adoption of SFAS No. 154 will not have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In June 2005 the FASB ratified the consensus in EITF Issue No. 04-5, “Determining Whether a General Partner, or the General Partners as a Group, Controls a Limited Partnership or Similar Entity When the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights.” EITF Issue No. 04-5 expands the definition of when a general partner, or general partners as a group, controls a limited partnership or similar entity. In July 2005 the FASB issued FSP No. SOP 78-9-1, “Interaction of AICPA Statement of Position 78-9 and EITF Issue No. 04-5.” FSP No. SOP 78-9-1 eliminates the concept of “important rights” and replaces it with concepts of “kick-out rights” and “substantive participating rights” as defined in EITF Issue No. 04-5. FSP No. SOP 78-9-1 and EITF Issue No. 04-5 are effective for all general partners of partnerships formed or modified after June 29, 2005, and for all other partnerships the first reporting period beginning after December 15, 2005. We have applied FSP No. SOP 78-9-1 and EITF Issue No. 04-5 to our joint ventures and concluded that these pronouncements did not require consolidation of additional entities.

Note 3. Derivatives and Hedging

We hedge the future cash flows of certain debt transactions, as well as changes in the fair value of our debt instruments, principally through interest rate swaps with major financial institutions. At December 31, 2005, we had six interest rate swap contracts designated as fair value hedges with an aggregate notional amount of $80 million that convert fixed interest payments at rates ranging from 4.2% to 6.8% to variable interest payments. We have determined that they are highly effective in limiting our risk of changes in the fair value of fixed-rate notes attributable to changes in variable interest rates. In December 2005 we entered into two forward-starting interest rate swaps, with notional amounts of $59.3 million each, to mitigate the risk of future fluctuations in interest rates on forecasted issuances of long-term debt over a maximum period of two years. These contracts have been designated as cash flow hedges and expire in January 2008. We have determined that they are highly effective in offsetting future variable interest cash flows on anticipated long-term debt issuances.

Changes in the market value of fair value hedges, both in the market value of the derivative instrument and in the market value of the hedged item, are recorded in earnings each reporting period, except for the portion of the hedge that becomes ineffective. For fiscal years 2005, 2004 and 2003, these changes in fair market value offset with minimal impact to earnings. The derivative instruments at December 31, 2005 were reported at their fair values as Other Assets, net of accrued interest, of $.4 million and as Other Liabilities, net of accrued interest, of $4.4 million.

41


In 2005 we had four interest rate swap contracts with an aggregate notional amount of $52.5 million mature. All of these contracts were designated as fair value hedges. In 2004 two interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges and two interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges expired.

During 2004 we settled various forward-starting interest rate swaps designed to hedge the cash flow of forecasted interest payments on future debt. These contracts were designated as cash flow hedges and net losses on the settlement of these cash flow hedges totaling $5.0 million were recorded to Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss and are being amortized to interest expense over the life of the hedged item.

As of December 31, 2005 and 2004, the balance in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss relating to derivatives was $5.1 million and $3.5 million, respectively. Within the next twelve months, we expect to amortize to interest expense approximately $0.3 million of the balance in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss.

The interest rate swaps decreased interest expense and increased net income by $1.3 million, $3.5 million and $2.3 million in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The interest rate swaps decreased the average rate on our debt by .1% in 2005 and .2% in both 2004 and 2003. We could be exposed to credit losses in the event of nonperformance by the counter-party; however, management believes the likelihood of such nonperformance is remote.

At December 31, 2005, we had a $400 million unsecured revolving credit facility. We also had an agreement for an unsecured and uncommitted overnight credit facility totaling $20 million with a bank to be used for cash management purposes. At December 31, 2005, the balance outstanding under the $400 million revolving credit facility was $190.0 million, and we had $20.0 million outstanding under the $20 million credit facility. We had letters of credit totaling $14.9 million outstanding under the $400 million revolving credit facility at December 31, 2005. The revolving credit agreements are subject to normal banking terms and conditions and do not adversely restrict our operations or liquidity.

At December 31, 2005, the variable interest rate for notes payable under the $400 million revolving credit agreement was 4.5%. During 2005 the maximum balance and weighted average balance outstanding under both the $400 million and the $20 million revolving credit facilities combined were $210.0 million and $102.3 million, respectively, at a weighted average interest rate of 5.1%.

During the year ended December 31, 2004, we issued a total of $375 million of unsecured fixed-rate medium term notes with a weighted average rate of 5.2%, net of the effect of related interest rate swaps, and a weighted average term of 9.3 years. Proceeds received were used to pay down amounts outstanding under our revolving credit facilities.

In conjunction with acquisitions completed during 2005 and 2004, we assumed $135.3 million and $140.7 million, respectively, of nonrecourse debt secured by the related properties. As of December 31, 2005, the balance of secured debt that was assumed during 2005 was $134.0 million, which had a weighted average interest rate of 7.5% and a weighted average remaining life of 10.6 years. As of December 31, 2004, the balance of secured debt that was assumed during 2004 was $139.6 million, which had a weighted average interest rate of 6.9% and a weighted average remaining life of 8.3 years. The cash requirements for all acquisitions in 2005 and 2004 were initially financed under our revolving credit facilities, coupled with cash generated from dispositions of properties that no longer meet our investment criteria or cash flow generated from our operating properties.

Various leases and properties, and current and future rentals from those leases and properties, collateralize certain debt. At December 31, 2005 and 2004, the carrying value of such property aggregated $1.6 billion and $1.3 billion, respectively.

Scheduled principal payments on our debt (excluding $210.0 million due under our revolving credit agreements, $18.7 million of capital leases and $2.1 million market value of interest rate swaps) are due during the following years (in thousands):

In February 2006 we amended and restated our $400 million unsecured revolving credit facility. Terms and conditions of this facility held by a syndicate of banks are not materially different from the agreement executed in 2003. The amended facility has an initial four-year term and provides a one-year extension option available at our request. Borrowing rates under this amended facility float at a margin over LIBOR, plus a facility fee. The borrowing margin and facility fee, which are currently 35 and 12.5 basis points, respectively, are priced off a grid that is tied to our senior unsecured credit ratings. The amended facility retains its competitive bid feature that allows us to request bids for amounts up to $200 million from the syndicate banks. Additionally, the amended facility contains an accordion feature, which will allow us to increase the facility amount up to $600 million.

Various of our debt agreements contain restrictive covenants, including minimum interest and fixed charge coverage ratios, minimum unencumbered interest coverage ratios and minimum net worth requirements. Management believes that we are in compliance with all restrictive covenants.

Note 5. Preferred Shares

In July 2004 we issued $72.5 million of depositary shares with each share representing one-hundredth of a Series E Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Share. The depositary shares are redeemable, in whole or in part, for cash on or after July 8, 2009 at our option, at a redemption price of $25 per depositary share, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends thereon. The depositary shares are not convertible or exchangeable for any of our other property or securities. The Series E preferred shares pay a 6.95% annual dividend and have a liquidation value of $2,500 per share. Net proceeds of $70.2 million were utilized to pay down amounts outstanding under our $400 million revolving credit facility.

In April 2003 $75 million of depositary shares were issued with each share representing one-thirtieth of a Series D Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Share. The depositary shares are redeemable, in whole or in part, for cash on or after April 30, 2008 at our option, at a redemption price of $25 per depositary share, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends thereon. The depositary shares are not convertible or exchangeable for any of our property or securities. The Series D preferred shares pay a 6.75% annual dividend and have a liquidation value of $750 per share. Net proceeds of $73.0 million were used to redeem the 7.44% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares.

Note 6. Common Shares

In February 2004 a three-for-two share split, effected in the form of a 50% share dividend, was declared for shareholders of record on March 16, 2004, payable March 30, 2004. We issued 28.5 million common shares of beneficial interest as a result of the share split. All references to the number of shares and per share amounts have been restated to reflect the share split, and an amount equal to the par value of the number of common shares issued has been reclassified to Common Shares of Beneficial Interest from Accumulated Dividends in Excess of Net Income.

In March 2004 we issued 3.6 million common shares of beneficial interest. Net proceeds to us totaled $118.0 million. The proceeds from this offering were used primarily to redeem our 7.0% Series C Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares on April 1, 2004. In August 2004 we issued an additional 3.2 million common shares of beneficial interest. Net proceeds to us totaled $101.9 million. The proceeds from this offering were used to pay down amounts outstanding under our $400 million revolving credit facility.

Subsequent to year-end, our board of trust managers authorized up to $100 million for the purchase of outstanding common shares of beneficial interest. Share repurchases may be made in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions during the next twelve months.

Acquisitions of properties are accounted for utilizing the purchase method (as set forth in SFAS No. 141 and SFAS No. 142) and, accordingly, the results of operations are included in our results of operations from the respective dates of acquisition. We have used estimates of future cash flows and other valuation techniques to allocate the purchase price of acquired property among land, buildings on an "as if vacant" basis, and other identifiable intangibles. Other identifiable intangible assets and liabilities associated with our property acquisitions were as follows (in thousands):

These identifiable intangible assets and liabilities are amortized over the terms of the acquired leases or the remaining lives of the mortgages. The above-market leases are included in Other Assets, the below-market leases and out-of-market assumed mortgages are included in Other Liabilities and Unamortized Debt and Lease Costs includes the lease origination costs. The amortization of above-market and below-market leases increased Revenues—Rentals by $.3 million in 2005 and $.04 million in both 2004 and 2003. The estimated net amortization of these intangible assets and liabilities for each of the next five years is $.6 million in 2006, $.4 million in 2007, $.2 million in 2008, $.4 million in 2009 and $.1 million in 2010. The amortization of lease origination costs, which is recorded in Depreciation and Amortization, was $6.2 million, $4.3 million and $.9 million in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The estimated amortization of this intangible asset for each of the next five years is $6.5 million in 2006, $5.6 million in 2007, $4.4 million in 2008, $3.5 million in 2009 and $2.9 million in 2010. The amortization of out-of-market assumed mortgages decreased Interest Expense by $6.9 million, $5.0 million and $1.0 million in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The estimated amortization of this intangible liability for each of the next five years is $7.3 million in 2006, $7.2 million in 2007, $6.2 million in 2008, $4.8 million in 2009 and $4.1 million in 2010.


45


During 2005 we invested $359.0 million in the acquisition of operating properties. Of this total, $267.9 million was invested in 13 shopping centers and a building adjacent to one of our shopping centers, $83.5 million was invested in seven industrial projects, and an additional $7.6 million was invested in a 25%-owned unconsolidated joint venture to acquire two retail properties. These combined acquisitions added 3.9 million square feet to our portfolio.

In 2005 we acquired land, either directly or through our interests in joint ventures, at seven separate locations for the development of seven retail shopping centers. During 2005 we invested $33.2 million in new developments.

Impairment loss of $3.6 million in 2004 related to a parcel of land held for development in Houston, Texas, which was sold in December 2004, and one retail property in Houston and one retail property in Port Arthur, Texas. The estimated holding period and the estimated future cash flows to be generated from these assets were revised which resulted in the impairment losses.

Note 8. Discontinued Operations

In 2005 we sold 13 retail properties and a vacant building, ten of which were located in Texas and one each in Louisiana, Mississippi and Arkansas. In addition, we sold two industrial properties in Texas and one in Nevada. In 2004 we sold three retail and two industrial properties located in Texas. Also, a free-standing building in Oklahoma was sold. The operating results and the gain on sale of these properties have been reclassified and reported as discontinued operations in the Statements of Consolidated Income and Comprehensive Income in accordance with SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." Included in the Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2004 is $82.6 million of Property, of which $4.7 million was reported as property held for sale, and $24.6 million of Accumulated Depreciation associated with the 2005 dispositions. Revenues for our dispositions reported as discontinued operations totaled $8.2 million in 2005, $12.4 million in 2004 and $11.0 million in 2003.

The discontinued operations reported in 2005 and 2004 had no debt that was required to be repaid upon their disposition. In addition, we elected not to allocate other consolidated interest to discontinued operations since the interest savings to be realized from the proceeds of the sale of these operations was not material.

During the second quarter of 2005, we sold an 80% interest in two additional shopping centers located in Shreveport and Lafayette, Louisiana. Due to our significant continuing involvement, the operating results of these properties have not been reclassified and reported as discontinued operations in the Statement of Consolidated Income and Comprehensive Income.
 
In the first quarter of 2006 we sold three shopping centers located in Texas, Arizona and Kansas. The operating results of these properties have been reclassified and reported as discontinued operations in the Statements of Consolidated Income and Comprehensive Income. Included in the Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2005 is $22.6 million of Property and $6.6 million of Accumulated Depreciation associated with the properties sold in the first quarter of 2006. Revenues for our first quarter 2006 dispositions totaled $3.3 million in 2005, $2.7 million in 2004, and $2.8 million in 2003. Subsequent to March 31, 2006, an industrial and retail project were sold. The operating results of these properties have not been reclassified and reported as discontinued operations.
 
Note 9. Related Party Transactions

On July 20, 2004, the shareholders of WRI Holdings, Inc. adopted a Plan of Dissolution and transferred 9.7 acres of land in Conroe, Texas, the only remaining asset, to us in satisfaction of its obligations under certain mortgage bonds and notes receivable owed. The land was recorded at the net carrying value of the mortgage bonds and notes. The estimated fair market value of the land is in excess of this carrying value. We shared certain directors and were under common management with WRI Holdings, Inc.
 
We also have interests in several joint ventures and partnerships. Notes receivable from these entities bear interest ranging from 6.0% to 10% at December 31, 2005, are due at various dates through 2028 and are generally secured by real estate assets. We recognized interest income on these notes as follows, in millions: $1.3 in 2005; $.8 in 2004; and $.5 in 2003.

Note 10. Investment in Real Estate Joint Ventures

Partially owned joint ventures and partnerships where we have the ability to exercise significant influence, but do not exercise financial and operating control, are accounted for using the equity method. Our interests in these joint ventures and limited partnerships range from 20% to 75% and, with the exception of two partnerships, each venture owns a single real estate asset. Combined condensed financial information of these ventures (at 100%) is summarized as follows (in thousands):

Our investment in real estate joint ventures, as reported on the balance sheets, differs from our proportionate share of the joint ventures' underlying net assets due to basis differentials, which arose upon the transfer of assets to the joint ventures. This basis differential, which totaled $10.3 million and $5.0 million at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, is generally depreciated over the useful lives of the related assets.

Fees earned by us for the management of these joint ventures totaled, in millions, $.8 in 2005, $.6 in each of 2004 and 2003.

In March 2005 we acquired our joint venture partners' interest in one of our existing shopping centers located in Texas. Also, in March 2005 a 50%-owned unconsolidated joint venture acquired an interest in a retail property located in McAllen, Texas, which will be redeveloped. In April 2005 we sold an 80% interest in two retail properties in Lafayette and Shreveport, Louisiana. These properties are held in a tenancy-in-common arrangement in which we retained a 20% interest. In May 2005 we acquired a 25% interest in a 118,800 square foot retail center located in Melbourne, Florida. In September 2005 a 50%-owned unconsolidated joint venture commenced development on a 161,000 square foot retail center located in Liberty Lake, Washington. In November 2005 two 50%-owned joint ventures commenced construction on two retail centers in Mission, Texas. In December 2005 we acquired a 25% interest in a 96,000 square foot retail center located in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.

In April 2004 we acquired our joint venture partners' interest in four of our existing shopping centers, of which three are located in Texas and one in New Mexico. Also, in April 2004 we acquired an interest in three retail properties located in McAllen, Texas each through a 50%-owned unconsolidated joint venture. In June 2004 a 50%-owned unconsolidated joint venture acquired an interest in a retail property located in Fenton, Missouri (a suburb of St. Louis). In July 2004 a 25%-owned limited liability company commenced construction on Heritage Station, a 69,000 square foot shopping center in Wake Forest, North Carolina. In August 2004 a 41%-owned limited liability company commenced construction on Glenwood Meadows, a 402,000 square foot shopping center in Glenwood Springs, Colorado. In November 2004 a 50%-owned unconsolidated joint venture acquired an interest in a 15,000 square foot building located in McAllen, Texas.

Note 11. Federal Income Tax Considerations

We qualify as a REIT under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, and therefore, no tax is imposed on us for our taxable income distributed to shareholders. To maintain our REIT status, we must distribute at least 90% of our ordinary taxable income to our shareholders and meet certain income source and investment restriction requirements. Our shareholders must report their share of income distributed in the form of dividends.

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 gain from sales of property. As a result of these differences, the book value of our net fixed assets exceeds the tax basis by $17 million at December 31, 2005.

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

We have two taxable REIT subsidiaries that are subject to federal, state, and local income tax. A minimal provision for federal income taxes was made in 2005 and 2004; no provision was required in 2003. Only minimal state income taxes were paid in these periods.

Note 12. Leasing Operations

The terms of our leases range from less than one year for smaller tenant spaces to over 25 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 an amount based on a percentage of the tenants' sales). Future minimum rental income from noncancelable tenant leases at December 31, 2005, in millions, is: $408.7 in 2006; $349.4 in 2007; $293.1 in 2008; $240.5 in 2009; $190.1 in 2010; and $727.5 thereafter. The future minimum rental amounts do not include estimates for contingent rentals. Such contingent rentals, in millions, aggregated $108.8 in 2005, $101.3 in 2004 and $82.1 in 2003.

48


Note 13. Commitments and Contingencies

On certain properties, we lease from the landowners and then sublease these properties to other parties. Future minimum rental payments under these operating leases, in millions, are: $1.6 in 2006; $1.3 in 2007; $1.2 in 2008; $1.1 in 2009; $1.0 in 2010; and $27.7 thereafter. Future minimum rental payments on these leases have not been reduced by future minimum sublease rentals aggregating $19.0 million through 2075 that are due under various noncancelable subleases. Rental expense (including insignificant amounts for contingent rentals) for operating leases was, in millions: $2.9 in 2005; $2.7 in 2004; and $2.8 in 2003. Sublease rental revenue (excluding amounts for improvements constructed by us on the leased land) from these leased properties was as follows, in millions: $3.5 in both 2005 and 2004 and $3.2 in 2003.

Property under capital leases, consisting of four shopping centers at December 31, 2005 and five shopping centers at December 31, 2004, aggregated $29.1 million and $41.5 million, respectively, and is included in buildings and improvements. Amortization of property under capital leases is included in depreciation and amortization expense, and the balance of Accumulated Depreciation associated with these capital leases at December 31, 2005 and 2004 was $11.9 million and $10.7 million, respectively. Future minimum lease payments under these capital leases total $57.7 million, with annual payments due, in millions, of $2.0 in each of 2006 and 2007; $2.1 in each of 2008 and 2009; $2.2 in 2010; and $47.3 thereafter. The amount of these total payments representing interest is $24.3 million. Accordingly, the present value of the net minimum lease payments was $33.4 million at December 31, 2005.

We participate in seven ventures, structured as DownREIT partnerships, that have properties in Arkansas, California, Georgia, North Carolina, Texas and Utah. As general partner we have operating and financial control over these ventures and consolidate their operations in our consolidated financial statements. These ventures allow the outside limited partners to put their interest to the partnership for our common shares of beneficial interest or an equivalent amount in cash. We may acquire any limited partnership interests that are put to the partnership and we have the option to redeem the interest in cash or a fixed number of our common shares at our discretion. In 2005 and 2004 we issued common shares of beneficial interest valued at $1.3 million and $.9 million in exchange for certain of these limited partnership interests.

We expect to invest approximately $60.1 million in 2006 and $30.4 million in 2007 to complete construction of ten properties under various stages of development.

We are subject to numerous federal, state and local environmental laws, ordinances and regulations in the areas where we own or operate properties. We are not aware of any material contamination, which may have been caused by us or any of our tenants, that would have a material effect on our financial position, results of operation or cash flows.

As part of our risk management activities we have applied and been accepted into state sponsored environmental programs which will limit our expenses if contaminants need to be remediated. We also have an environmental insurance policy that covers us against third party liabilities and remediation costs.

While we believe that we do not have any material exposure to environmental remediation costs, we cannot give absolute assurance that changes in the law or new discoveries of contamination will not result in increased liabilities to us.

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

49


Note 14. Bankruptcy Remote Properties

We had 60 properties, having a net book value of approximately $1.2 billion at December 31, 2005 (collectively the "Bankruptcy Remote Properties," and each a "Bankruptcy Remote Property"), which were wholly owned by various "Bankruptcy Remote Entities." Each Bankruptcy Remote Entity was either a direct or an indirect subsidiary of us. The assets of each Bankruptcy Remote Entity, including the respective Bankruptcy Remote Property or Properties owned by each, were owned by that Bankruptcy Remote Entity alone and were not available to satisfy claims that any creditor may have against us, our affiliates, or any other person or entity. No Bankruptcy Remote Entity has agreed to pay or make its assets available to pay our creditors, any of its affiliates, or any other person or entity. Neither we nor any of our affiliates have agreed to pay or make its assets available to pay creditors of any Bankruptcy Remote Entity (other than any agreement by a Bankruptcy Remote Entity to pay its own creditors). No affiliate of any Bankruptcy Remote Entity has agreed to pay or make its assets available to pay creditors of any other Bankruptcy Remote Entity.

The accounts of the Bankruptcy Remote Entities are included in our consolidated financial statements because we exercise financial and operating control over each of these entities.

Note 15. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of our financial instruments was determined using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies as of December 31, 2005. Unless otherwise described below, all other financial instruments are carried at amounts which approximate their fair values.

Based on rates currently available to us for debt with similar terms and average maturities, fixed-rate debt with carrying values of $2.0 billion and $1.9 billion have fair values of approximately $2.1 billion and $2.0 billion at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The fair value of our variable-rate debt approximates its carrying values of $313.8 million and $218.6 million at year-end 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Note 16. Share Options and Awards

In 1988 we adopted a Share Option Plan that provided for the issuance of options and share awards up to a maximum of 1.6 million common shares. This plan expired in December 1997, but some awards made pursuant to it remain outstanding as of December 31, 2005. In 1992 we adopted the Employee Share Option Plan that grants 100 share options to every employee, excluding officers, upon completion of each five-year interval of service. This plan expires in 2012 and provides options for a maximum of 225,000 common shares. Options granted under this plan are exercisable immediately. For both of these plans, options granted to employees were at an exercise price equal to the quoted fair market value of the common shares on the date the options were granted and expire upon termination of employment or ten years from the date of grant.

In 1993 we adopted the Incentive Share Option Plan that provided for the issuance of up to 3.9 million common shares, either in the form of restricted shares or share options. This plan expired in 2002, but some awards made pursuant to it remain outstanding as of December 31, 2005. The share options granted to nonofficers vest over a three-year period beginning after the grant date, and for officers vest over a seven-year period beginning two years after the grant date. Restricted shares under this plan have multiple vesting periods. Prior to 2000, restricted shares generally vested over a ten-year period. Effective in 2000, the vesting period became five years. In addition, the vesting period for these restricted shares can be accelerated based on appreciation in the market share price. In 2004 and 2003, the vesting of certain restricted shares was accelerated due to appreciation in the market price of our shares, resulting in additional compensation expense of $.3 million and $.7 million in 2004 and 2003, respectively. Since restricted shares are issued at no cost to the employee, compensation expense, excluding the effect of accelerated vesting, was as follows, in millions: $.1 in 2004, and $.5 in 2003. All restricted shares related to this plan vested prior to 2005.


50


In 2001 we adopted the Long-term Incentive Plan for the issuance of options and share awards up to a maximum of 2.3 million common shares. This plan expires in 2011. In December 2005 and 2004, .5 million and .4 million share options were granted. The share options granted to nonofficers vest over a three-year period beginning after the grant date, and share options and restricted shares for officers vest over a five-year period after the grant date. Restricted shares granted to trust managers vest immediately. Compensation expense related to restricted shares granted to officers and trust managers totaled $1.1 million in 2005 and $.5 million in 2004. No restricted shares related to this plan vested in 2003.

Note 17. Employee Benefit Plans

We have a Savings and Investment Plan pursuant to which eligible employees may elect to contribute from 1% of their salaries to the maximum amount established annually by the Internal Revenue Service. Employee contributions are matched by us 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 $.7 million in 2005, $.6 million in 2004 and $.5 million in 2003.

We also have an Employee Share Purchase Plan under which .6 million of our common shares have been authorized. These shares, as well as common shares purchased by us 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. A total of 22,717, 20,671, and 19,220 shares were purchased by employees at an average price of $30.89, $28.27 and $23.54 during 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

Effective April 1, 2002, we converted a noncontributory pension plan to a noncontributory cash balance retirement plan ("Retirement Plan") under which each participant received an actuarially determined opening balance. Annual additions to each participant's account include a service credit ranging from 3-5% of compensation, depending on years of service, and an interest credit based on the ten-year US Treasury Bill rate. Vesting generally occurs after five years of service. Certain participants were grandfathered under the prior pension plan formula. In addition to the plan described above, effective September 1, 2002, we established a separate and independent nonqualified supplemental retirement plan ("SRP") for officers, the assets of which are held in a grantor trust. This unfunded plan provides benefits in excess of the statutory limits of our noncontributory cash balance retirement plan. Reconciliation of the benefit obligation, plan assets at fair value, funded status of both plans and net amount recognized are as follows (in thousands):

The selection of the discount rate follows the guidance provided in SFAS No. 87, "Employers' Accounting for Pensions." The selection of the discount rate is made annually after comparison to yields based on high quality fixed-income investments. The salary scale is the composite rate which reflects anticipated inflation, merit increases, and promotions for the group of covered participants. The long-term rate of return is a composite rate for the trust. It is derived as the sum of the percentages invested in each principal asset class included in the portfolio multiplied by their respective expected rates of return. We considered the historical returns and the future expectations for returns for each asset class, as well as the target asset allocation of the pension portfolio. This analysis resulted in the selection of 8.50% as the long-term rate of return assumption for 2005.

The assumptions used to develop the actuarial present value of the benefit obligations at year-end for both plans are shown below:

The expected contribution to be paid for both plans by us during 2006 is approximately $3.6 million. The expected benefit payments for the next ten years for both plans are as follows, in millions: $.7 in 2006; $6.4 in 2007; $.7 in 2008; $.8 in both 2009 and 2010; and $8.3 in 2011 through 2015.

The measurement dates of both plans were December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004. The participant data used in determining the liabilities and costs was collected as of January 1, 2005.

Our investment policy and strategy for plan assets require that plan assets be allocated based on a "Broad Market Diversification" model. Approximately 70% of plan assets are allocated to equity investments and 30% to fixed income investments. On a quarterly basis, the plan assets are reviewed in an effort to maintain this asset allocation. Selected investment funds are monitored as reasonably necessary to permit our Investment Committee to evaluate any material changes to the investment fund's performance.

We also have a deferred compensation plan for eligible employees allowing them to defer portions of their current cash or share-based compensation. Amounts deferred are reported as compensation expense in the year service is rendered and are deposited in a grantor trust. Cash deferrals are invested based on the employee’s investment selections from a mix of assets similar to the noncontributory cash balance retirement plan. Deferred share-based compensation can not be diversified, and distributions from this plan are made in the same form as the original deferral.

Note 18. Segment Information

The operating segments presented are the segments 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. We evaluate the performance of the 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 Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Missouri, Nevada, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Utah and Washington. The customer base includes supermarkets, discount retailers, 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 California, Florida, Georgia, Tennessee and Texas, 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.
