ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS
------------
On August 9, 1996, EastGroup Properties purchased the Walnut Business Center
("Walnut") in Fullerton, California. Walnut is a two building industrial
complex with 234,070 functional square feet. The $8,200,000 purchase price was
paid with funds obtained under a line of credit with a local commercial
bank with an interest rate of LIBOR plus 1.85%. Walnut was 100% leased at the
acquisition date and the Trust expects minimal capital expenditures. Walnut
competes in the North Orange County sub-market of Orange County, California.
The average rental rates of the leases approximate market rates. EastGroup is
not aware of any material factors relating to Walnut that would cause the
reported financial information not to be necessarily indicative of future
operating results.
In 1996, EastGroup completed purchase business combinations - with LNH REIT,
Inc. on May 14, 1996 and Copley Properties, Inc. on June 19, 1996; two
property acquisitions - Walnut on August 9, 1996 and Braniff Park West on
September 19, 1996 and four material dispositions - Garden Villa Apartments on
January 31, 1996, Sample I-95 land on July 26, 1996, Pin Oaks Apartments on
November 27, 1996 and Plantations Apartments on December 19, 1996.
The unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements that are attached
hereto set forth the pro forma effects of the transactions.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
WALNUT BUSINESS PARK:
We have audited the accompanying historical summary of gross income and direct
operating expenses (Historical Summary) of Walnut Business Park (the Property)
for the year ended December 15, 1995. This Historical Summary is the
responsibility of the Property's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on the Historical Summary based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the Historical Summary is free of material misstatement.
An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts
and disclosures in the Historical Summary. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well
as evaluating the overall presentation of the Historical Summary. We believe
that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
The accompanying Historical Summary was prepared for the purpose of complying
with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (for
incorporation by reference in the Registration Statement on Form S-3 of
EastGroup Properties) as described in note 2 and is not intended to be a
complete presentation of revenues and expenses.
In our opinion, the historical summary referred to above presents fairly, in all
material respects, the gross income and direct operating expenses described in
note 4 of Walnut Business Park for the year ended December 15, 1995, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

WALNUT BUSINESS PARK
NOTES TO HISTORICAL SUMMARY OF GROSS INCOME AND DIRECT OPERATING EXPENSES
(UNAUDITED AS TO INTERIM PERIOD)
(1) BUSINESS
Walnut Business Park ("Walnut"), is a warehouse complex located in
Fullerton, California. Walnut is comprised of two buildings with a total of
approximately 261,000 square feet of leasable space (26,930 square feet with
limited functionality).
(2) BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The historical summary has been prepared for the purpose of complying
with Rule 3-14 of the Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-X (for
incorporation by reference in the Registration Statement on Form S-3 of
EastGroup Properties) and is not a complete presentation of Walnut's revenues
and expenses. The historical summary has been prepared on the accrual basis of
accounting.
The accompanying interim unaudited historical summary has been prepared
pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although
management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information
presented not misleading. In the opinion of management, all adjustments and
eliminations (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to
present fairly the historical summary for the nine months ended September 15,
1996, have been included. The results of operations for such interim period are
not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.
Management of Walnut has made estimates and assumptions relating to the
reporting of income and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities to prepare the historical summary in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

<PAGE> 7
(3) GROSS INCOME
Walnut leases warehouse space under various operating lease agreements
with its tenants. All leases are accounted for as operating leases. Base rental
income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the operating
leases. These leases include provisions under which Walnut is reimbursed for
certain common area maintenance costs. Certain leases contain renewal options
for various periods at various rental rates.
A summary of minimum rents to be received from tenants under
noncancellable operating leases in effect at December 15, 1995 follows:

(A) For purposes of determining pro forma adjustments, it was assumed that
the principal due under certain debt agreements was repaid with available
cash and net proceeds available from dispositions which were assumed to
occur on January 1, 1995. Principal on notes payable at University
Business Center was assumed to be repaid on January 1, 1995. As the $3.5
million pay down on the University Business Center note actually occurred
in February 1995, the pro forma adjustment reduces the interest expense
by the interest accrued for that portion of the note ($57,000 in 1995).
As discussed above, on a pro forma basis, Copley had sufficient cash
available throughout the pro forma period to mitigate any need to draw on
the line of credit. In addition, the line of credit balance was
substantially repaid from the proceeds received as a result of the sale
of the Park North Business Center. Therefore, the pro forma adjustments
eliminate the effect of interest charges incurred related to amounts
drawn under the line of credit during the pro forma period.
(B) In February 1996 Copley effected two exchange transactions swapping
tenancy-in-common interests to gain 100% ownership of certain wholly
owned properties. For purposes of the pro forma statement of operations,
share of real estate investment operations for all investments involved
in the exchange has been eliminated and the separate components of income
from operations for the 100% owned real estate properties have been
reflected for the pro forma periods.
(9) Eliminate dividend income from Copley's shares.
(10) Increase interest expense for borrowings to purchase Copley shares. The
borrowings to purchase these shares were $1,992,000 for six months of 1995
and $4,201,000 for three months of 1995 at an average rate 8.42%.
(11) Depreciation adjustment based on allocation of the purchase price over
an estimated life of forty years for buildings and three years for tenant
improvements.
(12) Recent acquisitions include Walnut (discussed previously) and Braniff Park
West acquired on September 19, 1996 for $5,706,000.
(13) Material dispositions include Garden Villa on January 31, 1996 for
$4,068,000 net proceeds, Sample I-95 land on July 26, 1996 for $3,267,000 net
proceeds, Pin Oaks on November 27, 1996 for $4,325,000 net proceeds and
Plantations on December 19, 1996 for $7,235,000 net proceeds.
(14) Increase interest expense on bank debt as if the recent acquisitions had
been purchased January 1, 1995.
(15) Decrease interest expense for the repayment of mortgage notes payable on
real estate properties and for the reduction of variable rate debt with proceeds
in excess of mortgage notes payable.
