BNP Residential Properties, Inc. Announces Operating Results for the First Quarter of 2001

    CHARLOTTE, N.C., April 27 /PRNewswire/ --
    BNP Residential Properties, Inc. (Amex: BNP) today announced operating
results for the quarter ended March 31, 2001.

    Overview:  BNP Residential Properties, Inc. is a self-administered,
self-managed real estate investment trust focused on owning and operating
apartment communities in North Carolina and Virginia.  We currently own and
operate fifteen apartment communities containing 3,681 units.  We also own 43
restaurant properties, which we lease to a third party under a master lease on
a triple-net basis.  In addition, we manage four apartment communities,
containing 891 apartment units, for third party owners.
    BNP Residential Properties, Inc., is structured as an UpREIT, or umbrella
partnership real estate investment trust.  We are the sole general partner and
own a controlling interest in BNP Residential Properties Limited Partnership,
the operating partnership.  All of our operations are conducted through the
operating partnership.

    Operating Results:
                        See Tabular Information Below

    Revenue:  For the first quarter of 2001, total revenue increased by 5.6%
over the same period in 2000.  The increase in total revenue is attributable
to an increase in revenue from apartment operations and other income.  During
the first quarter of 2001, apartment operations accounted for approximately
86% of total revenue.

    Apartments:  Apartment rental revenue increased by 6.4% for the first
quarter of 2001 as compared to the same period in 2000.  The increase is
primarily attributable to the acquisition of Oak Hollow Phase II in late
December 2000.  Also contributing to the increase in apartment rental revenue
was an increase in revenue per occupied unit.  For all apartments, revenue per
occupied unit increased to $736 per month in the first quarter of 2001 as
compared to $729 per month in 2000.  For the first quarter, average economic
occupancy for all apartments was 95.2% as compared to 96.4% in 2000.
    On a same units basis, apartment revenue was flat for the quarter, with an
increase in revenue per occupied unit being offset by a decline in occupancy.
On a same units basis, revenue per occupied unit increased to $738 per month
in the first quarter of 2001 as compared to $729 per month in 2000.  Average
economic occupancy was 95.5% for the first quarter of 2001 as compared to
96.4% in 2000.

    Restaurants:  Restaurant rental revenue for the first quarter of 2001
declined by 2.3% from the same period in 2000.  The decline in restaurant
rental revenue was due to the sale of one restaurant in June 2000.  Restaurant
rental revenue is the greater of a specified minimum rent or a percentage of
food sales.  For the first quarters of both 2001 and 2000, we received the
minimum guaranteed rent.
    "Same store" sales (sales at our restaurant properties that were open
throughout the first quarter of both years) decreased by 6.9% for the first
quarter of 2001.

    Expenses:  Expenses increased by 10.1% for the first quarter.  Apartment
operations expense increased by 12.8% for the first quarter of 2001.  This
increase is primarily attributable to the acquisition of Oak Hollow Phase II
in late December 2000, and increases in onsite personnel costs and insurance.
Corporate administration expense increased by 22.5%.  This increase is
primarily attributable to a change in accounting for the unconsolidated
subsidiary and the timing of professional services for accounting and tax
preparation.  Interest expense increased primarily as a result of the
acquisition of Oak Hollow Phase II.

    Net Income:  On a per share basis, net income for the first quarter
decreased to $0.08 per share in 2001 from $0.12 per share in 2000.  This
decrease reflects the impact of an increase in the non-cash charge for
depreciation and an increase in interest expense.

    Funds from Operations:  On a per share basis, funds from operations
declined for the first quarter to $0.35 per share from $0.37 per share.
