ITEM 1. BUSINESS
General
Sovran Acquisition Limited Partnership (the "Operating
Partnership") is the entity through which Sovran Self Storage,
Inc. (the "Company"), a self-administered and self-managed real
estate investment trust ("REIT"), conducts substantially all of
the Company's business and owns substantially all of the
Company's assets. The Operating Partnership is one of the
largest owners and operators of self-storage properties in the
Eastern United States and Texas. In 1995, the Company was formed
under Maryland law and the Operating Partnership was organized as
a Delaware limited partnership to continue and to expand the
self-storage operations of the Company's privately owned
predecessor organizations. The term "Company Predecessors" as
used herein refers to the Company's predecessor organizations
prior to the Company's initial public offering in June, 1995 (the
"Initial Offering") and the completion of the various
transactions that occurred simultaneously therewith (the
"Formation Transactions"). The term "Company" as used herein
means Sovran Self Storage, Inc. and its subsidiaries on a
consolidated basis (including the Operating Partnership) or,
where the context so requires, Sovran Self Storage, Inc. only,
and, as the context may require, the Company Predecessors. The
term "Operating Partnership" as used herein means Sovran
Acquisition Limited Partnership and, as the context may require,
the Company Predecessors.
The Company is currently a 93.55% economic owner of the
Operating Partnership and controls it through Sovran Holdings,
Inc. ("Holdings"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company
incorporated in Delaware and the sole general partner of the
Operating Partnership. This structure is commonly referred to as
an umbrella partnership REIT or "UPREIT". The Board of Directors
of Holdings, the members of which are the same as the members of
the Board of Directors of the Company, manages the affairs of the
Operating Partnership by directing the affairs of Holdings. The
Company's limited partner and indirect general partner interests
in the Operating Partnership entitle it to share in cash
distributions from, and in the profits and losses of, the
Operating Partnership in proportion to its ownership interest
therein and entitle the Company to vote on all matters requiring
a vote of the limited partners.
The other limited partners of the Operating Partnership are
persons who contributed their direct or indirect interests in
certain self-storage properties to the Operating Partnership.
The Operating Partnership is obligated to redeem each unit of
limited partnership ("Unit") at the request of the holder thereof
for cash equal to the fair market value of a share of the
Company's common stock, par value $.01 per share ("Common
Shares"), at the time of such redemption, provided that the
Company at its option may elect to acquire any such Unit
presented for redemption for one Common Share or cash. With each
such redemption or acquisition by the Company, the Company's
percentage ownership interest in the Operating Partnership will
increase. In addition, whenever the Company issues Common
Shares, the Company is obligated to contribute any net proceeds
therefrom to the Operating Partnership and the Operating
Partnership is obligated to issue an equivalent number of Units
to the Company.
The Operating Partnership may issue additional Units to
acquire additional self-storage properties in transactions that
in certain circumstances defer some or all of the sellers' tax
consequences. The Operating Partnership believes that many
potential sellers of self-storage properties have a low tax basis
in their properties and would be more willing to sell the
properties in transactions that defer Federal income taxes.
Offering Units instead of cash for properties may provide
potential sellers partial Federal income tax deferral.
As of March 15, 2000 the Operating Partnership owned and
operated 225 self-storage properties (individually, a "Property"
and collectively, the "Properties") consisting of approximately
12.7 million net rentable square feet, situated in 21 states. As
of December 31, 1999, the Properties had a weighted average
occupancy of 85% and a weighted average annual rent per occupied
square foot of $7.86. The Operating Partnership believes that it
is the 5th largest operator of self-storage properties in the
United States based on facilities owned.
The Operating Partnership seeks to increase cash flow and
enhance investor value through aggressive management of the
Properties and selective acquisitions of new self-storage
properties. Aggressive property management entails increasing
rents, increasing occupancy levels, strictly controlling costs,
maximizing collections, strategically expanding and improving the
Properties and, should economic conditions warrant, developing
new properties. The Operating Partnership believes that there
continues to be significant opportunities for growth through
acquisitions, and constantly seeks to acquire self-storage
properties located primarily in the Eastern United States that
are susceptible to realization of increased economies of scale
and enhanced performance through application of the Operating
Partnership's management expertise.
The Operating Partnership's principal executive offices are
located at 5166 Main Street, Williamsville, New York 14221, and
its telephone number is (716) 633-1850.
Industry Overview
The Operating Partnership believes that self-storage
facilities offer inexpensive storage space to residential and
commercial users. In addition to fully enclosed and secure
storage space, some operators, including the Operating
Partnership, also offer outside storage for automobiles,
recreational vehicles and boats. The storage sites are usually
fenced and well lighted with gates that are either manually
operated or automated. All facilities have a full-time
manager/leasing agent. Customers have access to their storage
area during business hours and in certain circumstances are
provided with 24 hour access. Individual storage units are
secured by the customer's lock, which may be purchased from the
Operating Partnership, and the customer has control of access to
the unit.
The Operating Partnership believes that the self-storage
industry is characterized by a trend toward consolidation,
continuing increase in demand, relatively slow growth in supply
and a targeted market of primarily residential customers.
According to published data, of the approximately 30,000
facilities in the United States, less than 13% are managed by the
ten largest operators. The remainder of the industry is
characterized by numerous small, local operators. The shortage
of skilled operators, the scarcity of financing available to
small operators for acquisitions and expansions and the potential
for savings through economies of scale are factors which are
leading to a consolidation in the industry. The Operating
Partnership believes that as a result of this trend, significant
growth opportunities exist for operators with proven management
systems and sufficient capital resources.
The self-storage industry has also experienced relatively
slow growth in supply in recent years due to the scarcity of
financing available to small operators, restrictive zoning and
other regulations and the substantial start up costs associated
with the construction and lease-up of new facilities. Demand for
self-storage service has increased as indicated by an increase in
industry-wide average rents and in industry average occupancy.
It is expected to remain strong because it is slow to react to
changing conditions and because of various other factors,
including population growth, increased mobility, expansion of
condominium, townhouse and apartment living, and increasing
consumer awareness, particularly by commercial users. Commercial
customers tend to rent larger areas for longer terms, are more
reliable payers and are less sensitive to price increases. The
Operating Partnership estimates that commercial users account for
approximately 30% of its total occupancy, which is substantially
higher than the reported industry average of 18%.
Property Management
The Operating Partnership believes that it has developed
substantial expertise in managing self-storage facilities. Key
elements of the Operating Partnership's management system
include:
- Recruiting, training and retaining capable, aggressive on-
site Property Managers;
- Motivating Property Managers by providing incentive-based
compensation;
- Developing and maintaining an integrated marketing plan for
each Property;
- Performing regular preventive maintenance to avoid
significant repair obligations;
- Linking all facilities to a central customized management
information system; and
- Utilization of a national marketing program that attracts
commercial tenants who have multi-market self-storage
needs.
Each Property is generally managed by a full-time Property
Manager and one or more assistant managers. Each Property
Manager is responsible for most operational decisions with
respect to his or her Property, including rent charges and
maintenance, subject to certain monetary limits. Assistant
managers enable Property Managers to have sufficient time to
perform marketing functions. Each Property Manager reports to an
Area or Regional Manager who in turn reports to an Executive Vice
President. The Operating Partnership currently employs two
Executive Vice Presidents who primarily focus on marketing and
overall supervision of the Area and Regional Managers. The Area
and Regional Managers are responsible for overseeing site
operations.
Property Managers attend a thorough orientation program and
undergo continuous training which emphasizes telephone skills,
closing techniques, identification of selected marketing
opportunities, networking with possible referral sources, and
familiarization with the Operating Partnership's customized
management information system. In addition to frequent contact
with Area and Regional Managers and other Operating Partnership
personnel, Property Managers receive periodic newsletters
regarding a variety of operational issues, and from time to time
attend "roundtable" seminars with other Property Managers.
The Operating Partnership annually develops a written
marketing plan for each of its Properties the content of which is
highly dependent upon local conditions. The focus of each
marketing plan is, in part, determined by occupancy rates. If
all storage units of the same size at a Property are at or near
90% occupancy, then the plan will generally include increases in
rental rates. If a Property has excess capacity, then the
marketing plan will target selected markets such as local
military bases, colleges, apartment and condominium complexes,
industrial parks, medical centers, retail shopping malls and
office suites. The Operating Partnership primarily uses
telephone directories to advertise its services, including a map
and when possible, listing Properties in the same marketplace in
a single advertisement. The Operating Partnership also conducts
quarterly surveys of its competitors' practices, which include
"shopping" competing facilities.
The Operating Partnership's customized computer system
performs billing, collections and reservation functions for each
Property, and also tracks information used in developing
marketing plans based on occupancy levels, and tenant
demographics and histories. The system generates daily, weekly
and monthly financial reports for each Property that are
immediately transmitted to the Operating Partnership's principal
office each night. The system also requires a Property Manager
to input a descriptive explanation for all debit and credit
transactions, paid-to-date changes, and all other discretionary
activities, which allows the accounting staff at the Operating
Partnership's principal office to promptly review all such
transactions. Late charges are automatically imposed. More
sensitive activities such as rental rate changes and unit size or
number changes are completed only by Area and Regional Managers.
The Operating Partnership's customized management information
system permits it to add new facilities to its portfolio with
minimal additional overhead expense.
The Operating Partnership's Executive Vice Presidents,
Regional Managers, Area Managers and Property Managers are
compensated with a base salary and may, in addition, earn
incentive compensation. The Operating Partnership annually
establishes a target gross income and net operating income for
each Property. As incentive compensation, Property Managers earn
a specific bonus per move-in; and Executive Vice Presidents,
Regional Managers and Area Managers earn a percentage of the
combined net operating incomes in excess of the targeted levels
for all facilities reporting to them. This incentive
compensation program is not subject to any caps or increment
requirements. It is not unusual for any manager to earn in
excess of 10% of the base salary as incentive compensation. The
Operating Partnership believes that the structure of these
programs causes its managers to exercise their operational
autonomy in a manner to maximize income through increased rental
rates.
Environmental and Other Regulations
The Operating Partnership is subject to federal, state, and
local environmental regulations that apply generally to the
ownership of real property and the operation of self-storage
facilities. The Operating Partnership has not received notice
from any governmental authority or private party of any material
environmental noncompliance, claim, or liability in connection
with any of the Properties, and is not aware of any environmental
condition with respect to any of the Properties that could have a
material adverse effect on the Operating Partnership's financial
condition or results of operations.
The Properties are also generally subject to the same types
of local regulations governing other real property, including
zoning ordinances. The Operating Partnership believes that the
Properties are in substantial compliance with all such
regulations.
Insurance
Each of the Properties is covered by fire, flood and
property insurance, including comprehensive liability, all-risk
property insurance, provided by reputable companies and with
commercially reasonable terms. In addition, the Operating
Partnership maintains a policy insuring against environmental
liabilities resulting from tenant storage on terms customary for
the industry, and title insurance insuring fee title to the
Properties in an aggregate amount believed to be adequate.
Competition
The primary factors upon which competition in the self-
storage industry is based are location, rental rates, suitability
of a property's design to prospective tenants' needs, and the
manner in which the property is operated and marketed. The
Operating Partnership believes it competes successfully on these
bases. The extent of competition depends in significant part on
local market conditions. The Operating Partnership seeks to
locate its facilities so as not to cause its own Properties to
compete with one another for customers, but the number of self-
storage facilities in a particular area could have a material
adverse effect on the performance of any of the Properties.
Several of the Operating Partnership's competitors,
including Public Storage Management, Inc., Shurgard Incorporated,
U-Haul International and Storage USA, Inc., are larger and have
substantially greater financial resources than the Operating
Partnership. These larger operators may, among other possible
advantages, be capable of greater leverage and the payment of
higher prices for acquisitions.
Investment Policy
While the Operating Partnership emphasizes equity real
estate investments, it may, in its discretion, invest in
mortgages and other real estate interests related to self-storage
properties consistent with the Company's qualification as a REIT.
The Operating Partnership may also retain a purchase money
mortgage for a portion of the sale price in connection with the
disposition of properties from time to time. Should investment
opportunities become available, the Operating Partnership may
look to acquire self-storage properties via a joint-venture
partnership or similar entity. The Operating Partnership may or
may not have a significant investment in such a venture, but
would use such an opportunity to expand its portfolio of branded
and managed properties.
Subject to the percentage of ownership limitations and gross
income tests necessary for the Company's REIT qualification, the
Operating Partnership also may invest in securities of entities
engaged in real estate activities or securities of other issuers,
including for the purpose of exercising control over such
entities.
Disposition Policy
Management periodically reviews the assets comprising the
Operating Partnership's portfolio. The Operating Partnership has
no current intention to dispose of any of the Properties,
although it reserves the right to do so. Any disposition
decision will be based on a variety of factors, including, but
not limited to, the (i) potential to continue to increase cash
flow and value, (ii) sale price, (iii) strategic fit with the
rest of the Operating Partnership's portfolio, (iv) potential
for, or existence of, environmental or regulatory issues, (v)
alternative uses of capital, and (vi) maintaining the Company's
qualification as a REIT. In 1999, the Operating Partnership sold
a facility located in Tennessee for $2.5 million resulting in a
gain of $.65 million.
Borrowing Policy
The Board of Directors of the Company currently limits the
amount of debt that may be incurred by the Company to less than
50% of the sum of market value of the issued and outstanding
Common and Preferred Stock plus the Company's debt (Market
Capitalization). The Company, however, may from time to time re-
evaluate and modify its borrowing policy in light of then current
economic conditions, relative costs of debt and equity capital,
market values of properties, growth and acquisition opportunities
and other factors.
The Operating Partnership increased the balance outstanding
on the $150 million credit facility from $112 million in 1998 to
$123 million at December 31, 1999. The proceeds were used to
fund a portion of the 1999 acquisitions. The credit facility
matures February 2001 and provides for funds at LIBOR plus 1.25%.
In July 1999, the Operating Partnership issued 1,200,000
shares of 9.85% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock.
The net proceeds of $28.6 million were used to repay a portion of
the credit facility.
The Operating Partnership also has a $75 million unsecured
term note that bears interest at LIBOR plus 1.50%.
To the extent that the Operating Partnership desires to
obtain additional capital to pay distributions, to provide
working capital, to pay existing indebtedness or to finance
acquisitions, expansions or development of new properties, the
Company may utilize preferred stock offerings, floating or fixed
rate debt financing, retention of cash flow (subject to
satisfying the Operating Partnership's distribution requirements
under the REIT rules) or a combination of these methods.
Additional debt financing may also be obtained through mortgages
on its Properties, which may be recourse, non-recourse, or cross-
collateralized and may contain cross-default provisions. The
Operating Partnership has not established any limit on the number
or amount of mortgages that may be placed on any single Property
or on its portfolio as a whole. For additional information
regarding borrowings, see "Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Liquidity and
Capital Resources" and Note 5 to the Operating Partnership's
Financial Statements appearing elsewhere herein.
Employees
The Operating Partnership currently employs a total of 608
employees, including 242 Property Managers, 14 Area Managers, 6
Regional Managers, 2 Executive Vice Presidents and 300 part time
employees. At the Operating Partnership's headquarters, in
addition to the Company's 3 senior executive officers, the
Operating Partnership employs 41 people engaged in various
support activities such as accounting and management information
systems. None of the Operating Partnership's employees is
covered by a collective bargaining agreement. The Operating
Partnership considers its employee relations to be excellent.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
Overview
At December 31, 1999, the Operating Partnership, owned 100%
fee simple interests in, and operated, a total of 222 Properties,
consisting of approximately 12.5 million net rentable square
feet, situated in twenty-one states in the Eastern and Midwestern
United States, Arizona and Texas. As of December 31, 1999, the
Properties had a weighted average occupancy of 85% and a weighted
average annual rent per square foot of $7.86. The Operating
Partnership believes that it is the 5th largest operator of self-
storage properties in the United States based on facilities
owned.
The Operating Partnership's self-storage facilities offer
inexpensive, easily accessible, enclosed storage space to
residential and commercial users on a month-to-month basis. Most
of the Operating Partnership's Properties are fenced with
computerized gates and are well lighted. All but twenty-three of
the Properties are single-story, thereby providing customers with
the convenience of direct vehicle access to their storage units.
All Properties have a Property Manager on-site during business
hours. Customers have access to their storage areas during
business hours, and some commercial customers are provided 24-
hour access. Individual storage units are secured by a lock
furnished by the customer to provide the customer with control of
access to the unit.
Currently, 212 of the Properties conduct business under the
user-friendly trade name "Uncle BoB's Self-Storage" and the
remainder are operated under various names acquired with the
Properties. The Operating Partnership intends to convert all of
the Properties to the "Uncle BoB's" trade name.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
A former business associate (Plaintiff) of certain officers
and directors of the Company, including Robert J. Attea, Kenneth
F. Myszka, David L. Rogers and Charles E. Lannon, filed a lawsuit
against the Company on June 13, 1995 in the United States
District Court for the Northern District of Ohio. The Plaintiff
has since amended the complaint in the lawsuit alleging breach of
fiduciary duty, breach of contract, breach of general
partnership/joint venture arrangement, breach of duty of good
faith, fraud and deceit, and other causes of action including
declaratory judgement as to the Plaintiff's continuing interest
in the Company. The Plaintiff is seeking money damages in excess
of $15 million, as well as punitive damages and declaratory and
injunctive relief (including the imposition of a constructive
trust on assets of the Company in which the Plaintiff claims to
have a continuing interest) and an accounting. The amended
complaint also added Messrs. Attea, Myszka, Rogers and Lannon as
additional defendants. The parties are currently involved in
discovery and trial. The Company is vigorously defending the
lawsuit. Messrs. Attea, Myszka, Rogers and Lannon have agreed to
indemnify the Company for costs and any loss arising from the
lawsuit. The Operating Partnership believes that the actual
amount of the Plaintiff's recovery in this matter if any, would
be within the ability of these individuals to provide
indemnification. The Operating Partnership does not believe that
the lawsuit will have a material, adverse effect upon the
Company.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

The partnership agreement of the Operating Partnership (the
"Partnership Agreement") provides that the Operating Partnership
will distribute all available cash (as defined in the Partnership
Agreement) on at least a quarterly basis, in amounts determined
by the general partner in its sole discretion, to the partners in
accordance with their respective percentage interest in the
Operating Partnership. Distributions are declared at the
discretion of the Board of Directors of Holdings, the general
partner of the Operating Partnership and a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company, and will depend on actual funds from
operations of the Operating Partnership, its financial condition,
capital requirements, the annual distribution requirements under
the REIT provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended, and such other factors as the Board of Directors may
deem relevant. The Board of Directors of Holdings may modify the
Operating Partnership's distribution policy from time to time,
subject to the terms of the Partnership Agreement.
The Operating Partnership's line of credit contains
customary representations, covenants and events of default,
including covenants which restrict the ability of the Operating
Partnership to make distributions in excess of stated amounts.
In general, during any four consecutive fiscal quarters the
Operating Partnership may only distribute up to 90% of the
Operating Partnership's funds from operations (as defined in the
related agreement). The line of credit contains exceptions to
these limitations to allow the Operating Partnership to make any
distributions necessary to allow the Company to maintain its
status as a REIT. The Operating Partnership does not anticipate
that this provision will adversely effect the ability of the
Operating Partnership to make distributions, as currently
anticipated.

(a) The Operating Partnership began operations on June 26, 1995,
and had no historical results of operations before that date.
Results of operations prior to June 26, 1995 relate to Sovran
Capital, Inc. and the Sovran Partnerships (Company Predecessors).
(b) Funds from operations ("FFO") means income (loss) before
extraordinary item(computed in accordance with GAAP) (i) less
gain on sale of property, (ii) plus depreciation of real estate
assets and amortization of intangible assets exclusive of
deferred financing costs and (iii) significant non-recurring
events (unsuccessful debt offering costs in 1998). FFO is a
supplemental performance measure for REITs as defined by the
National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc. FFO
is presented because analysts consider FFO to be one measure of
the performance of the Operating Partnership. FFO does not take
into consideration scheduled principal payments on debt, capital
improvements and other obligations. Accordingly, FFO is not a
substitute for the Operating Partnership's cash flow or net
income as a measure of the Operating Partnership liquidity or
operating performance or ability to pay distributions.
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis of the financial
condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction
with the financial statements and notes thereto included
elsewhere in this report.
When used in this discussion and elsewhere in this document,
the words "intends," "believes," "anticipates," and similar
expressions are intended to identify "forward-looking statements"
within the meaning of that term in Section 27A of the Securities
Act of 1933 and in Section 21E of Securities Exchange Act of
1934. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown
risks, uncertainties and other factors, which may cause the
actual results, performance or achievements of the Operating
Partnership to be materially different from those expressed or
implied by such forward-looking statements. Such factors include,
but are not limited to, the effect of competition from new self-
storage facilities, which would cause rents and occupancy rates
to decline; the Operating Partnership's ability to evaluate,
finance and integrate acquired businesses into its existing
business and operations; the Operating Partnership's ability to
effectively compete in the industries in which it does business;
the Operating Partnership's ability to successfully implement its
Uncle Bob's Flex-a-Space strategy; the Operating Partnership's
existing indebtedness may mature in an unfavorable credit
environment, preventing refinancing or forcing refinancing of the
indebtedness on terms that are not as favorable as the existing
terms; the Operating Partnership's cash flow may be insufficient
to meet required payments of principal and interest; and tax law
changes which may change the taxability of future income.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Year Ended December 31, 1999 compared to Year Ended December 31,
1998
In 1999, the Operating Partnership recorded rental revenues
of $82.4 million, an increase of $14.2 million or 21% when
compared to 1998 rental revenues of $68.2 million. Of this,
$11.9 million resulted from the acquisition of 18 stores during
1999 and from having the 1998 acquisitions included for a full
year of operations. The additional $2.3 million increase
resulted from increased revenues at the 156 core properties
considered in same store sales. For this core group, revenues
increased 3.9%, primarily as the result of rental rate increases
which were slightly offset by an average occupancy decrease of
.4% to 86%. Interest and other income increased to $1.9 million
in 1999 from $1.1 million in 1998 due to a $.65 million gain on
the sale of a facility.
Property operating and real estate tax expense increased
$4.8 million or 25% during the period. Of this, $3.9 million was
incurred by the facilities acquired in 1999 and from having the
1998 acquisitions included for a full year of operations, and
$0.9 million additional cost was incurred in the operation of the
156 core properties.
General and administrative expenses increased $.7 million in
1999. The increase was primarily a result of increased
supervisory and accounting costs associated with the operation of
an increased number of properties, and the start up and marketing
costs related to Uncle BoB's Flex-a-Space.
In 1999, interest expense increased to $13.9 million from
$9.6 million as a result of increased borrowings under the line
of credit. The credit facility was utilized throughout 1999 to
fund the purchase of the 18 stores.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased to $13.1
million from $10.3 million, primarily as a result of the
additional depreciation taken on the $46 million of real estate
assets acquired in 1999 and a full year of depreciation on 1998
acquisitions.
Earnings before interest, depreciation and amortization, and
extraordinary loss increased 20.8% from $45.1 million in 1998 to
$54.4 million in 1999 as a result of the aforementioned items.
Year Ended December 31, 1998 compared to Year Ended December 31,
1997
In 1998, the Operating Partnership recorded rental revenues
of $68.2 million, an increase of $19.6 million or 40% when
compared to 1997 rental revenues of $48.6 million. Of this, $18.4
million resulted from the acquisition of fifty stores during 1998
and from having the 1997 acquisitions included for a full year of
operations. The additional $1.2 million increase resulted from
increased revenues at the 111 core properties considered in same
store sales. For this core group, revenues increased 3.8%,
primarily as the result of rental rate increases which were
slightly offset by an average occupancy decrease of 1% to 86.4%.
Interest and other income increased to $1.1 million in 1998 from
$.8 million in 1997.
Property operating and real estate tax expense increased
$5.8 million or 42% during the period. Of this, $5.5 million was
incurred by the facilities acquired in 1998 and from having the
1997 acquisitions included for a full year of operations, and
$0.3 million additional cost was incurred in the operation of the
111 core properties.
General and administrative expenses increased $2.1 million
in 1998. Of the increase, $.5 million related to the costs
associated with the unsuccessful public debt offering costs in
1998. The additional increase was primarily a result of
increased supervisory and accounting costs associated with the
operation of an increased number of properties, and the change in
the treatment of internal property acquisition costs as discussed
in Note 14 to the financial statements.
In 1998, interest expense increased to $9.6 million from
$2.2 million as a result of increased borrowings under the line
of credit and term note. The credit facility and term note were
utilized throughout 1998 to fund the purchase of the fifty
stores, as opposed to 1997 in which the Operating Partnership
issued additional Units to fund a portion of the acquired stores.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased to $10.3
million from $7.0 million, primarily as a result of the
additional depreciation taken on the $170 million of real estate
assets acquired in 1998 and a full year of depreciation on 1997
acquisitions.
Earnings before interest, depreciation and amortization, and
extraordinary loss increased 36.8% from $32.9 million in 1997 to
$45.1 million in 1998 as a result of the aforementioned items.
A $.36 million extraordinary loss was recorded in 1998 when
the Operating Partnership's former unsecured credit facility was
replaced with a new line of credit with more favorable terms.
Pro Forma Year Ended December 31, 1999 compared to Pro Forma Year
Ended December 31, 1998
The following unaudited pro forma information shows the
results of operations as though the acquisitions of storage
facilities in 1999 and 1998, and the Company's preferred stock
offering in 1999 had all occurred as of the beginning of 1998.

===========================
Rental revenue of $84.6 million in 1999 increased by 3.2%
over 1998's revenues of $82.0 million, primarily as a result of
rate increases at the stores.
Operating expenses and real estate taxes in 1999 were $24.9
million, as compared to $23.6 million in 1998, an increase of
5.5%. While cost efficiencies were enjoyed regarding insurance
and yellow-page advertising, these savings were offset by the
Operating Partnership's paying higher wages to attract
professional managers, and increased property taxes.
General and administrative costs were determined by the
Operating Partnership's historical costs incurred in the
management of 222 properties.
Interest expense in both years was determined by applying
the 1999 year-end rate and the applicable non-usage fee
associated with the Operating Partnership's $150 million credit
facility and $75 million term note.
Such unaudited pro forma information is based upon the
historical statements of operations of the Operating Partnership.
It should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of
the Operating Partnership and notes thereto. In management's
opinion, all adjustments necessary to reflect the effects of
these transactions have been made. This unaudited pro forma
statement does not purport to represent what the actual results
of operations of the Operating Partnership would have been
assuming such transactions had been completed as set forth above,
nor does it purport to represent the results of operations for
future periods.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Capital Resources, Unsecured Line of Credit and Term Note
The Operating Partnership's unsecured credit facility
provides availability up to $150 million, of which $123 million
was drawn at December 31, 1999. The facility matures February
2001 and bears interest at LIBOR plus 1.25%.
In addition to the credit facility, the Operating
Partnership has an unsecured term note due December 2000, that
bears interest at LIBOR plus 1.50%. The credit facility and term
note currently have investment grade ratings from Standard and
Poors (BBB-), Moodys (Baa3), and Duff and Phelps (BBB-).
In July 1999, the Company issued 1,200,000 shares of 9.85%
Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock. The net proceeds
of $28.6 million were used to repay a portion of the credit
facility. The Series B Preferred Stock is currently rated by
Standard and Poors (BB+), Moodys (Ba2) and Duff and Phelps (BB+).
In 1998 and 1999, there has been a net outflow of capital
from the REIT sector, which has depressed prices of common shares
of most REIT's, including the Company's. Accordingly, management
does not feel it appropriate to issue equity in the form of
common shares or Operating Partnership Units, because to do so
would be dilutive to existing shareholders. The Operating
Partnership expects to fund its maturing obligations and its
future growth through a renewal of its line of credit, issuance
of 5-10 year notes of either a secured or unsecured (or
combination of both) nature, issuance of preferred stock and
private placement solicitation of public pension funds and other
sources of capital.
The Operating Partnership believes that its internally
generated cash flows and borrowing capacity under the credit
facility will be sufficient to fund ongoing operations, capital
improvements, dividends, and acquisitions for the year 2000.
In 1999, the Company continued its common stock repurchase
program authorized by the Board of Directors by acquiring 300,500
shares for $6.5 million. At December 31, 1999, the total shares
repurchased by the Company was 376,200 at a total cost of $8.4
million.
Acquisition of Properties
During 1999 the Operating Partnership used borrowings
pursuant to the line of credit to acquire 18 properties
comprising .9 million square feet from unaffiliated storage
operators. These properties are located in existing markets in
Florida, Louisiana, Rhode Island, and Texas. The Operating
Partnership also entered two new states, Arizona and Maine during
1999. In 1998, fifty facilities totaling 3.2 million square feet
were acquired. At December 31, 1999, a total of 222 facilities
and 12.5 million square feet of net rentable storage space was
owned and operated by the Operating Partnership in 21 states.
Future Acquisition and Development Plans
The Operating Partnership's external growth strategy is to
increase the number of facilities it owns by acquiring suitable
facilities in markets in which it already has operations, or to
expand in new markets by acquiring several facilities at once in
those new markets.
At December 31, 1999, the Operating Partnership had
contracts totaling of $11.2 million to acquire additional
properties in New York, Massachusetts and Texas.
The Operating Partnership will continue to pursue the
acquisition of quality self-storage properties in markets where
it already operates, and in strategic new markets where a
substantial property base can be quickly established.
The Operating Partnership also intends to expand and enhance
certain of its existing facilities by building additional storage
buildings on presently vacant land and by installing climate
control and enhanced security systems at selected sites.
Distribution Requirements of the Company and Impact on the
Operating Partnership
As a REIT, the Company is not required to pay federal income
tax on income that it distributes to its shareholders, provided
that the amount distributed is equal to at least 95% of taxable
income. These distributions must be made in the year to which
they relate, or in the following year if declared before the
Company files its federal income tax return, and if it is paid
before the first regular dividend of the following year. The
first distribution of 2000 may be applied toward the Company's
1999 distribution requirement. The Company's source of funds for
such distributions are solely and directly from the Operating
Partnership.
As a REIT, the Company must derive at least 95% of its total
gross income from income related to real property, interest and
dividends. In 1999, the Company's percentage of revenue from such
sources exceeded 97%, thereby passing the 95% test, and no
special measures are expected to be required to enable the
Company to maintain its REIT designation.
INTEREST RATE RISK
As of December 31, 1999, the Operating Partnership has one
outstanding interest rate collar transaction through June 30,
2000. Under the agreement, which is based on a notional amount
of $70 million, if the LIBOR rate exceeds 6.5%, the bank pays the
Operating Partnership the rate in excess of 6.5% multiplied by
$70 million for the outstanding period. If LIBOR drops below
5.265%, the Operating Partnership must pay the bank the
difference between LIBOR and 5.265% multiplied by $70 million for
the outstanding period.
Based upon the Operating Partnership's indebtedness at
December 31, 1999, and taking the interest rate collar agreements
into account, a 1% increase in interest rates would result in an
increase to interest expense of approximately $1.9 million.
INFLATION
The Operating Partnership does not believe that inflation
has had or will have a direct effect on its operations.
Substantially all of the leases at the facilities allow for
monthly rent increases, which provide the Operating Partnership
with the opportunity to achieve increases in rental income as
each lease matures.
SEASONALITY
The Operating Partnership's revenues typically have been
higher in the third and fourth quarter, primarily because the
Operating Partnership increases its rental rates on most of its
storage units at the beginning of May and, to a lesser extent,
because self-storage facilities tend to experience greater
occupancy during the late spring, summer and early fall months
due to the greater incidence of residential moves during these
periods. However, the Operating Partnership believes that its
tenant mix, diverse geographic locations, rental structure and
expense structure provide adequate protection against undue
fluctuations in cash flows and net revenues during off-peak
seasons. Thus, the Operating Partnership does not expect
seasonality to affect materially distributions to unitholders.
IMPACT OF YEAR 2000
The Operating Partnership employs several different computer
systems for financial reporting, property management, asset
control and payroll. These systems are purchased by the
Operating Partnership from third parties and therefore there is
no internally generated programming code. The Operating
Partnership's critical applications relating to financial
reporting, property management and asset control were updated to
Year 2000 compliant versions within the last year as part of the
normal maintenance agreements at a cost of less than $50,000.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Sovran Acquisition Limited Partnership - December 31, 1999
1. ORGANIZATION
Sovran Acquisition Limited Partnership (the "Operating
Partnership") is the entity through which Sovran Self Storage,
Inc. (the "Company"), a self-administered and self-managed real
estate investment trust ("REIT"), conducts substantially all of
its business and owns substantially all of its assets. In 1995,
the Company was formed under Maryland law and the Operating
Partnership was organized as a Delaware limited partnership to
continue and to expand the self-storage operations of the
Company's privately owned predecessor organizations. On June 26,
1995, the Company commenced operations, through the Operating
Partnership, effective with the completion of its initial public
offering of 5,890,000 shares. Since its formation the Operating
Partnership has purchased a total of 149 (eighteen in 1999, fifty
in 1998, forty-four in 1997, twenty-nine in 1996 and eight in
1995) self storage properties from unaffiliated third parties,
increasing the total number of self-storage properties owned at
December 31, 1999 to 222 properties in 21 states.
As of December 31, 1999, the Company was a 93.55% economic
owner of the Operating Partnership and controls it through Sovran
Holdings, Inc. ("Holdings"), a wholly owned subsidiary of the
Company incorporated in Delaware and the sole general partner of
the Operating Partnership (this structure is commonly referred to
as an umbrella partnership REIT or "UPREIT"). The board of
directors of Holdings, the members of which are also members of
the Board of Directors of the Company, manages the affairs of the
Operating Partnership by directing the affairs of Holdings. The
Company's limited partner and indirect general partner interests
in the Operating Partnership entitle it to share in cash
distributions from, and in the profits and losses of, the
Operating Partnership in proportion to its ownership interest
therein and entitle the Company to vote on all matters requiring
a vote of the limited partners.
The other limited partners of the Operating Partnership are
persons who contributed their direct or indirect interests in
certain self-storage properties to the Operating Partnership.
The Operating Partnership is obligated to redeem each unit of
limited partnership ("Unit") at the request of the holder thereof
for cash equal to the fair market value of a share of the
Company's common stock ("Common Shares") at the time of such
redemption, provided that the Company at its option may elect to
acquire any Unit presented for redemption for one Common Share or
cash. The Company presently anticipates that it will elect to
issue Common Shares to acquire Units presented for redemption,
rather than paying cash. With each such redemption the Company's
percentage ownership interest in the Operating Partnership will
increase. In addition, whenever the Company issues Common
Shares, the Company is obligated to contribute any net proceeds
therefrom to the Operating Partnership and the Operating
Partnership is obligated to issue an equivalent number of Units
to the Company. Such limited partners' redemption rights are
reflected in "limited partners' capital interest" in the
accompanying balance sheets at the cash redemption amount at the
balance sheet date. Capital activity with regard to such limited
partners' redemption rights is reflected in the accompanying
statements of partners' capital.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Cash and Cash Equivalents: The Operating Partnership considers
all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with maturity of
three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Revenue Recognition: Rental income is recorded when earned.
Rental income received prior to the start of the rental period is
included in deferred revenue.
Interest and Other Income: Other income consists primarily of
interest income, sales of storage-related merchandise (locks and
packing supplies) and commissions from truck rentals. In 1999,
the other income also includes a $652 gain on the sale of a
facility in Tennessee.
Investment in Storage Facilities: Storage facilities are recorded
at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight line method
over estimated useful lives of forty years for buildings and
improvements, and five to twenty years for furniture, fixtures
and equipment. Expenditures for significant renovations or
improvements which extend the useful life of assets are
capitalized. Repair and maintenance costs are expensed as
incurred.
Whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that
the basis of the Operating Partnership's property may not be
recoverable, the Operating Partnership's policy is to assess any
impairment of value. Impairment is evaluated based upon
comparing the sum of the expected undiscounted future cash flows
to the carrying value of the property; on a property by property
basis. If the sum of the cash flow is less than the carrying
amount, an impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which
the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the
asset. At December 31, 1999 and 1998, no assets had been
determined to be impaired under this policy, and, accordingly,
this policy had no impact on the Operating Partnership's
financial position or results of operations.
Prepaid Expenses and Other Assets: Included in prepaid expenses
and other assets are prepaid expenses and intangible assets. The
intangible assets at December 31, 1999, consist primarily of loan
acquisition costs of approximately $1,845, net of accumulated
amortization of approximately $1,023; and covenants not to
compete of $785, net of accumulated amortization of $643. Loan
acquisition costs are amortized over the terms of the related
debt; and the covenants are amortized over the contract periods.
Amortization expense was $879, $541 and $794 for the periods
ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
Income Taxes: No provision has been made for income taxes in the
accompanying financial statements since the Operating Partnership
qualifies as a partnership for federal and state income tax
purposes and its partners are required to include their
respective shares of profits and losses in their income tax
returns.
Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying
notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
3. EARNINGS PER UNIT

5. UNSECURED LINE OF CREDIT AND TERM NOTE
The Operating Partnership has a $150 million unsecured
credit facility that matures February 2001 and provides for funds
at LIBOR plus 1.25%. The average interest rate at December 31,
1999 on the line of credit was approximately 7.1%, 6.6% at
December 31, 1998. At December 31, 1999, there was $27 million
available on the line.
In 1998 the Operating Partnership recorded an extraordinary
loss on the extinguishment of debt of $357,000 representing the
unamortized financing costs of a former revolving credit
facility and related costs.
In December 1998, the Operating Partnership entered into a
$75 million unsecured term note that matures on December 22, 2000
and bears interest at LIBOR plus 1.50% (approximately 7.35% at
December 31, 1999).
As of December 31, 1999, the Operating Partnership has one
outstanding interest rate collar transaction through June 30,
2000. Under the agreement, which is based on a notional amount
of $70 million, if the LIBOR rate exceeds 6.5%, the bank pays the
Operating Partnership the rate in excess of 6.5% multiplied by
$70 million for the outstanding period. If LIBOR drops below
5.265%, the Operating Partnership must pay the bank the
difference between LIBOR and 5.265% multiplied by $70 million for
the outstanding period.
The net carrying amount of the Operating Partnership's debt
instruments approximates fair value.

Such unaudited pro forma information is based upon the
historical statements of operations of the Operating Partnership.
It should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of
the Operating Partnership and notes thereto. In management's
opinion, all adjustments necessary to reflect the effects of
these transactions have been made. This unaudited pro forma
statement does not purport to represent what the actual results
of operations of the Operating Partnership would have been
assuming such transactions had been completed as set forth above,
nor does it purport to represent the results of operations for
future periods.
7. STOCK OPTIONS
The Operating Partnership continues to account for Company
stock-based compensation using the measurement prescribed by APB
Opinion No. 25 which does not recognize compensation expense
because the number of stock options granted is fixed and the
exercise price of the stock options equals the market price of
the underlying stock on the date of grant. Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-
Based Compensation," requires companies that choose not to adopt
the new fair value accounting rules to disclose pro forma net
income and earnings per unit under the new method. The Operating
Partnership will issue a Unit to the Company for each common
share of the Company issued under the following plans.
The Company has established the 1995 Award and Option Plan
(the Plan) for the purpose of attracting and retaining the
Company's executive officers and other employees. The options
vest ratably over four and five years, and must be exercised
within ten years from the date of grant. The exercise price for
qualified incentive stock options must be at least equal to the
fair market value at the date of grant. As of December 31, 1999,
options for 383,550 shares were outstanding under the Plan. The
total options available under the Plan (including restricted
stock issuances is 900,000.
The Company also established the 1995 Outside Directors'
Stock Option Plan (the Non-employee Plan) for the purpose of
attracting and retaining the services of experienced and
knowledgeable outside directors. The Non-employee Plan provides
for the annual granting of options to purchase 2,500 shares of
common stock to each eligible director. Such options vest over a
one-year period for initial awards and immediately upon
subsequent grants. The total shares reserved under the Non-
employee Plan is 100,000. The exercise price for options granted
under the Non-employee Plan is equal to fair market value at date
of grant. As of December 31, 1999, options for 49,500 shares
were outstanding under the Non-employee Plan.
The fair value for these options was estimated at the date
of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the
following weighted-average assumptions: risk-free interest rate
of 7.0% for 1999 and 5.5% for 1998, dividend yield of 10% for
1999 and 8% for 1998, volatility factor of the expected market
price of the Company's common stock of .21 for 1999 and .19 for
1998.
The Black-Scholes options valuation model was developed for
use in estimating the fair value of traded options which have no
vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition,
option valuation models require the input of highly subjective
assumptions including the expected stock price volatility.
Because the Company's employee stock options have characteristics
significantly different from those of traded options, and because
changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect
the fair value estimate, in management's opinion, the existing
models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of
the fair value of its employee stock options.
For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair
value of the options is amortized to expense over the options'
vesting period. The Operating Partnership's pro forma
information for the year ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997
follows (in thousands, except for earnings per unit information).

The Company has also issued 18,400 shares of restricted

8. RETIREMENT PLAN
Employees of the Operating Partnership qualifying under
certain age and service requirements are eligible to be a
participant in a 401(K) Plan which was effective September 1,
1997. The Operating Partnership contributes to the Plan at the
rate of 50% of the first 4% of gross wages. Total expense to the
Operating Partnership was approximately $56,000 and $53,000 for
the year ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
9. SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS PLAN
In November 1996, the Company adopted a Shareholder Rights
Plan and declared a dividend distribution of one Right for each
outstanding share of common stock. Under certain conditions,
each Right may be exercised to purchase one one-thousandth of a
share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock at a
purchase price of $75, subject to adjustment. The Rights will be
exercisable only if a person or group has acquired 10% or more of
the outstanding shares of common stock, or following the
commencement of a tender or exchange offer for 10% or more of
such outstanding shares of common stock. If a person or group
acquires more than 10% of the then outstanding shares of common
stock, each Right will entitle its holder to receive, upon
exercise, common stock having a value equal to two times the
exercise price of the Right. In addition, if the Company is
acquired in a merger or other business combination transaction,
each Right will entitle its holder to purchase that number of the
acquiring Company's common shares having a market value of twice
the Right's exercise price. The Company will be entitled to
redeem the Rights at $.01 per Right at any time prior to the
earlier of the expiration of the Rights in November 2006 or the
time that a person has acquired a 10% position. The Rights do
not have voting or dividend rights, and until they become
exercisable, have no dilutive effect on the Operating
Partnership's earnings.
10. PREFERRED STOCK
On July 30, 1999, the Company issued 1,200,000 shares of
9.85% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock. The
offering price was $25 per share resulting in net proceeds of
$28.8 million after expenses. The Series B Preferred Stock is
not redeemable until on or after July 30, 2004, after which time
the Company may redeem the shares at $25.00 per share
($30,000,000 aggregate), plus any accrued and unpaid dividends.
The shares may be redeemed only with the proceeds of certain
sales of equity securities. Dividends on the Series B Preferred
Stock are cumulative from the date of original issue and are
payble quarterly in arrears on the last day of each March, June,
September, and December at a rate of $2.4625 per annum per share.
Holders of the Series B Preferred Stock generally have no
voting rights. However, if the Company does not pay dividends on
the Sries B shares for six or more quarterly periods (whether or
not consecutive), the holders of the shares, voting as a class
with the holders of any other class or series of stock with
similar voting rights, will be entitled to vote for the election
of two additional directors to serve on the Board of Directors
until all Series B dividends are paid.

12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Operating Partnership's current practice is to conduct
environmental investigations in connection with property
acquisitions. At this time, the Operating Partnership is not
aware of any environmental contamination of any of its facilities
which individually or in the aggregate would be material to the
Operating Partnership's overall business, financial condition, or
results of operations.
As of December 31, 1999, the Operating Partnership had
entered into contracts for the purchase of four facilities.
Three of these facilities were acquired in February and March,
2000 for a total cost of $7,917,000.
13. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
A former business associate (Plaintiff) of certain officers
and directors of the Company, including Robert J. Attea, Kenneth
F. Myszka, David L. Rogers and Charles E. Lannon, filed a lawsuit
against the Company on June 13, 1995 in the United States
District Court for the Northern District of Ohio. The Plaintiff
has since amended the complaint in the lawsuit alleging breach of
fiduciary duty, breach of contract, breach of general
partnership/joint venture arrangement, breach of duty of good
faith, fraud and deceit, and other causes of action including
declaratory judgement as to the Plaintiff's continuing interest
in the Company. The Plaintiff is seeking money damages in excess
of $15 million, as well as punitive damages and declaratory and
injunctive relief (including the imposition of a constructive
trust on assets of the Company in which the Plaintiff claims to
have a continuing interest) and an accounting. The amended
complaint also added Messrs. Attea, Myszka, Rogers and Lannon as
additional defendants. The parties are currently involved in
discovery and trial. The Company is vigorously defending the
lawsuit. Messrs. Attea, Myszka, Rogers and Lannon have agreed to
indemnify the Company for costs and any loss arising from the
lawsuit. The Operating Partnership believes that the actual
amount of the Plaintiff's recovery in this matter if any, would
be within the ability of these individuals to provide
indemnification. The Operating Partnership does not believe that
the lawsuit will have a material, adverse effect upon the
Operating Partnership.
14. INTERNAL PROPERTY ACQUISITION COSTS
On March 19, 1998 the Financial Accounting Standards Board
Emerging Issues Task Force reached a consensus as to the
accounting for internal acquisition costs incurred in connection
with real property. The Task Force consensus indicates that
internal costs related to the acquisition of operating properties
should be expensed as incurred. The Operating Partnership had
previously capitalized such costs and has complied with the
consensus prospectively. The amount of such costs capitalized in
1998 (through the date of the pronouncement) and 1997 were
$238,000 and $728,000, respectively.
