Preface to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Statements of Operations
for the Six Months ended January 31, 1996
and the Year ended July 31, 1995
On March 15, 1996 (the "Effective Date"), BRE Properties, Inc., a Delaware
corporation ("BRE"), and Real Estate Investment Trust of California, a
California real estate investment trust ("RCT"), concluded a series of
transactions resulting in the merger of RCT with and into BRE (the "Merger") in
accordance with the terms and conditions of the Agreement and Plan of Merger,
dated October 2, 1995, among BRE on behalf of itself and BRE Properties, Inc., a
Maryland corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of BRE ("BRE Maryland"), RCT
and Real Estate Investment Trust of Maryland, a Maryland real estate investment
trust, as amended (the "Merger Agreement"). The Merger was unanimously approved
by the boards of both companies and by the requisite vote of the shareholders of
both.
Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, each share of beneficial interest of
RCT ("RCT Merger Shares") issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger
was converted into the right to receive 0.57 of a share of the Class A Common
Stock of BRE Delaware ("BRE Delaware Stock") in a tax-free transaction. In
order to effect such conversion, 5,342,218 shares of the BRE Delaware Stock were
issued to those persons who were holders of RCT Merger Shares (the "RCT
Shareholders") immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Merger.
Also on the Effective Date and immediately after the effectiveness of the
Merger, BRE changed its state of incorporation from Delaware to Maryland
pursuant to a reincorporation merger with and into BRE Maryland (the
"Reincorporation Merger"). As a result of the Reincorporation Merger, each
share of BRE Delaware Stock issued and outstanding immediately after the Merger
and immediately prior to the Reincorporation Merger, including those shares held
by the former RCT Shareholders as a result of the Merger, was converted into the
right to receive one share of the Common Stock of BRE Maryland in a tax-free
transaction.
The following unaudited pro forma statements of operations for BRE are presented
as if the Merger had been consummated on August 1, 1994. This data further
assumes that BRE was reincorporated in Maryland, distributed at least 95% of its
taxable income and met all other requirements to qualify as a REIT and,
therefore, incurred no federal or state income tax expense during the period
from August 1, 1994 to January 31, 1996. The data also presents the effects of
the Amended and Restated Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan as of August 1,
1994. The Merger will be accounted for as an acquisition by BRE under the
purchase method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Principles Board
Opinion No. 16. In the opinion of BRE's management, all material adjustments
necessary to reflect the effects of these transactions have been made.

(H) Funds from operations ("FFO") is defined as net income computed in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, excluding gains
(or losses) from debt restructuring and sales of property, plus
depreciation and amortization, and after similar adjustments to income from
unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. BRE and RCT each considers
FFO in evaluating property acquisitions and operating performance, and
believes that FFO should be considered along with, but not as an
alternative to, net income and cash flows as a measure of the company's
operating performance and liquidity. FFO does not represent cash generated
from operating activities in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles and is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash
needs. BRE and RCT are in compliance with the FFO White Paper adopted by
the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts in 1995.
