NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
September 30, 1996

NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with the instructions to Form 10-Q and should be read in conjunction with the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 1995 and
transition report Form 10-K for the five months ended December 31, 1995,
together with the portions of the company's 1995 Annual Report to shareholders
incorporated therein by reference.  In the opinion of management, all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments only) have been made
which are necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim period
presented herein.

BRE has elected to recast the full comparative periods pursuant to the change
made in May 1996 in the fiscal year to a calendar year end effective December
31, 1995.  Therefore, amounts presented reflect the financial position and
results of operations from January 1, 1996 to September 30, 1996 and the
comparative period for the prior year.  Certain reclassifications have been made
to the 1995 financial statements to conform to the presentation of the 1996
financial statements.

NOTE B - STOCK SPLIT

In May 1996, the Directors approved a two-for-one stock split, effected in
the form of a stock dividend to Shareholders of record as of June 7, 1996,
payable on June 27, 1996.  All  share and per share information in these
financial statements has been retroactively restated for the stock split.

NOTE C - NET INCOME PER SHARE

Net income per share is based upon the average weighted number of shares
outstanding during the periods.

NOTE D - UNSECURED DEBT

In April 1996, BRE entered into two lines of credit totaling $100,000,000 at
LIBOR plus 1.0% as to $30,000,000 and LIBOR plus 1.25% for the remaining
$70,000,000.  Borrowings under these agreements totaled $84,000,000 as of
September 30, 1996.  On October 22, 1996, BRE amended and increased the
$70,000,000 line of credit to $120,000,000, thus increasing the total available
under the lines of credit to $150,000,000.  As part of the original agreement,
the rate on the $70,000,000 line of credit (now $120,000,000) will be reduced to
LIBOR plus 1.125% effective in January, 1997.

On October 4, 1996, BRE was informed that Duff & Phelps Credit Rating Co. has
assigned a rating of BBB+ to a $55,000,000 unsecured loan and an $18,000,000
secured loan.

NOTE E - LITIGATION

The Company, because of the nature of its business, is subject to various 
threatened or filed legal claims, including certain environmental actions.  
While it is not feasible to predict or determine the ultimate outcome of 
these matters, in the opinion of management, none of these actions which are 
presently pending, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material 
effect on the Company's results of operations, cash flows, liquidity or 
financial position.

NOTE F - COMMITMENTS

BRE has committed to purchase Phase II of Newport Landing Apartments, in 
Glendale, Arizona. BRE purchased the adjacent 240-unit Phase I in September 
1995, for $9,235,000. Phase II, also planned for 240 units, is currently 
being developed, with construction expected to be completed by the end of 
1996. Picerne, which developed Phase I, is also developing Phase II for BRE. 
The cost for Phase II is projected to be approximately $12,940,000.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
         CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
September 30, 1996

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

BRE Properties, Inc.'s ("BRE") cash and short-term investments totaled
$1,230,000 at September 30, 1996, down from $16,057,000 at December 31, 1995.
These funds have been used primarily to fund property acquisitions under the
Company's business plan to become the preeminent multi-family real estate
investment trust in the Western United States.  The Company will continue its
planned disposition of  non-core assets to generate additional funds to be re-
deployed into multi-family assets.

BRE purchased an aggregate $173.2 million in multi-family assets and added a
total of 2,516 units to the portfolio for the nine month period ended September
30, 1996 as follows:

     Name                Units   Acquired    Cost            Location
     ----                -----   --------    ----            --------

     Thrasher's Mill     214     4/96        $10,300,000      Bothell, WA
                         ---                 -----------
     Second Quarter      699                 $39,700,000

     Foster's Landing    490     9/96        $58,800,000      Foster City, CA
                         ---                 -----------
        Third Quarter  1,628                $122,900,000
                                            ------------


     Total             2,516                $173,200,000
                                            ------------


The purchases were funded by sales of non-core assets, cash flow from operations
and borrowings under the lines of credit.  In July, BRE sold the Westlake
Village property for $58,000,000 and in August, BRE sold seven light industrial
properties for a total of $29,200,000. Both of these sales were structured as
tax-deferred exchanges.

In addition, as more fully discussed in Note D of Notes to Financial Statements,
BRE has committed a total of $12,940,000 for the purchase of Phase II of Newport
Landing

Apartments.  This acquisition may be funded through a combination of tax-
deferred exchanges, cash and borrowings under the Company's lines of credit.
Closing is scheduled by year end to allow for matching of tax-deferred
exchanges.

In addition to cash and short-term investments, the Company has available bank
lines of credit totaling $100,000,000 which were increased to $150,000,000 in
October, 1996.  There were borrowings of $84,000,000 outstanding under the lines
of credit at September 30, 1996.  The company  used a portion of the lines of
credit to fund the cash portion of the purchase price for the apartment
acquisitions described above. These credit lines give the company added
flexibility to implement its growth strategy.

As reported earlier in the year, pursuant to the merger with Real Estate
Investment Trust of California ("RCT") (the "Merger") on March 15, 1996, BRE (i)
acquired $274,400,000 in equity investments in real estate, (ii) assumed secured
and unsecured RCT notes payable of $95,400,000, and other liabilities totaling
$8,000,000, and (iii) issued 10,684,436 shares of Class A common stock valued at
$171,000,000 for the conversion of RCT shares of beneficial interest.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Income before net gains (losses) for the quarter and nine months ended September
30, 1996 was $9,767,000 ($.30 per share) and $27,003,000 ($.91 per share),
compared to $6,052,000 ($.28 per share) and $17,545,000 ($.80 per share) for the
same quarter and nine months last year.  Net income for the quarter and nine
months ended September 30, 1996 was $59,119,000 ($1.80 per share) and
$76,581,000 ($2.58 per share), compared to $6,052,000 ($.28 per share) and
$16,665,000 ($.76 per share) for the same quarter and nine months last year.
All per share amounts have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the 2 for 1
stock split as of June 27, 1996 and the change in financial reporting year end.
On May 20, 1996, the Company elected to change its year end from July 31 to
December 31, effective December 31, 1995.

Funds from operations totaled $13,421,000 and $36,382,000 for the quarter and
nine months ended September 30, 1996, up 67% and 55% from the same periods last
year on a per share basis.  Funds from operations is defined by NAREIT as net
income (computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles),
excluding gains (or losses) from debt restructuring and sales of property, plus
provisions for depreciation, amortization and possible investment losses.
Because income-producing properties are typically evaluated without taking into
account non-cash charges such as provisions for depreciation, amortization and
possible investment losses, management believes that funds from operations is an
appropriate supplemental measure of the company's operating performance.

At September 30, 1996, overall occupancy levels by property asset class were as
follows:

     PROPERTY TYPE       OVERALL OCCUPANCY
     --------------------------------------
     Apartments              96%
     Non-core assets         94%

The overall occupancy for the apartment portfolio is calculated by multiplying
the occupancy for each property by the number of apartment units and dividing by
the total number of apartment units.  The overall occupancy for the other real
estate assets is calculated by multiplying the occupancy for each property by
its square footage and dividing by the total square footage of all the non-core
assets.

REVENUE

Rental income rose 52% for the quarter and 40% for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 from the comparable periods last year.  The increases reflect
the properties acquired upon consummation of the Merger, new acquisitions and
improved performance of existing apartment communities.  In addition, two vacant
properties were sold in the third and fourth quarters of 1995, for approximately
$13,000,000, and those proceeds were reinvested in multi-family investments.

EXPENSES

Operating expenses of equity investments increased $1,644,000 (28%) and
$5,363,000 (34%) for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1996 from
the year earlier periods, primarily due to properties added to the portfolio
through the Merger and expenses on the new apartment acquisitions.  Operating
expenses as a percentage of rental income decreased from 36.6% and 34.0% in the
three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1995 to 30.9% and 32.6% for the
comparable periods in 1996.

For the quarter and nine month period ended September 30, 1996, general and
administrative expenses were $1,040,000 and $3,167,000 as compared to $691,000
and $3,321,000 for the prior year.  As a percentage of total revenue, general
and administrative expenses decreased from 4.2% and 6.9% for the quarter and
nine months  ended September 30, 1995 to 4.0% and 4.4% for the comparable
periods in 1996.

Interest expense was up $2,353,000 and $5,468,000 from the comparable quarter
and nine months last year.  This increase reflected the notes assumed as part of
the Merger; utilization of bank credit lines to acquire multi-family assets; and
new mortgage loans on Camino Seco Village in July 1995 and Verandas Apartments
in September, 1995.

DIVIDENDS

A $.33 per share dividend was paid on September 26, 1996.

On May 20, 1996, the Directors approved a two-for-one stock split, effected
in the form of a stock dividend to shareholders of record June 7, 1996, payable
on June 27, 1996.

               2.   Treasury Lock Swap Transaction.  On August 29, 1996 BRE
               entered into a Treasury Lock Swap Agreement, in the amount of
               $50,000,000.  The rate is fixed at 7.05% as compared to the
               United States Government 10-Year Treasury Note  rate on June 30,
               1997.  The Treasury Lock Swap Transaction is intended to reduce
               the Company's overall exposure to interest rate changes in
               anticipation of future fixed rate financing.  If the transaction
               were settled as of September 30, 1996, the Company would be
               required to pay approximately $135,000.  Any future gain or loss

            swap transaction will be accounted for as a hedge and included in
            the final cost of future debt financing as an adjustment to its 
            yield.

                          SECOND MODIFICATION AGREEMENT


     This Second Modification Agreement ("Agreement") is made as of October 22,
1996, by and between BRE PROPERTIES, INC., a Maryland corporation ("Borrower");
BANK OF AMERICA NATIONAL TRUST AND SAVINGS ASSOCIATION, a national banking
association ("Agent"); and the several financial institutions a party to this
Agreement (collectively, the "Banks"; individually a "Bank").


                               FACTUAL BACKGROUND

     A.   Bank of America National Trust and Savings Association ("BofA"),
Manufacturers Bank ("Manufacturers"), and The Industrial Bank of Japan, Limited,
Los Angeles Agency ("IBJ") have agreed to make a loan (the "Loan") to the
Borrower in accordance with an Unsecured Line of Credit Loan Agreement dated
April 4, 1996 (as amended, the "Loan Agreement").  The Loan Agreement has
previously been amended by the Modification Agreement to Syndicate Loan, dated
as of April 4, 1996 (the "First Modification"), and BofA has previously assigned
a portion of its interest under the Loan to IBJ pursuant to an Assignment and
Assumption Agreement dated as of June 19, 1996 (the "IBJ Assignment").
Capitalized terms used herein without definition have the meanings given to them
in the Loan Agreement.  The Loan is evidenced by a Note dated April 4, 1996 in
the stated principal amount of $70,000,000.

     B.   Borrower has requested that the Maximum Loan Amount under the
Commitment be increased to $120,000,000.  In connection with such increase,
Commerzbank AG, Los Angeles Branch ("Commerzbank"), desires to become a party to
the Loan Agreement and to participate in the Commitment in an amount equal to
$25,000,000, IBJ desires to increase its share of the Commitment from $5,000,000
to $25,000,000 and BofA desires to increase its share of the Commitment from
$50,000,000 to $55,000,000.

     C.   The Borrower, Agent and the Banks wish to modify the Loan Documents to
increase the Commitment as referred to above, and to make certain related
modifications, all as set forth herein.


                                    AGREEMENT

     Therefore, the Borrower, the Banks and Agent agree as follows:

the Loan Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the reference therein to
"Seventy Million Dollars ($70,000,000)" and inserting in lieu thereof "One

Dear Sir/Madam:


     This Confirmation supersedes and replaces in its entirety our previous
Confirmation rapifax dated September 3, 1996.

     The purpose of this letter agreement ("Confirmation") is to confirm the
terms and conditions of the swap transaction entered into between us on the
Trade Date specified below (the "Transaction").  This Transaction shall be
governed by the Particular Terms and by the General Terms, each of which are set
forth below.  Expressions used in the Particular Terms which are not defined
therein which are defined in the General Terms shall have the meaning provided
in the General Terms.

     THIS FACSIMILE TRANSMISSION WILL BE THE ONLY WRITTEN COMMUNICATION
REGARDING THIS SWAP TRANSACTION.  However, should you have an internal
requirement for confirmations with an original signature, we request that you
sign and return this Confirmation by facsimile, whereupon, we will add an
original signature to the fully executed Confirmation, and forward it to you by

A.   PARTICULAR TERMS

     The Particular Terms of this Transaction are as follows:

     Notional Amount:              US$ 50 million

     Trade Date:                   August 29, 1996

     Determination Date:           June 30, 1997,
                                   2:00 p.m. New York time

     Payment Date:                 July 2, 1997

     Reference Treasury:           The then current United States Government
                                   10-Year Treasury Note

     Fixed Yield:                  7.050%

     If the Floating Yield
     is more than Fixed Yield:     BofA pays the Payment Amount to 
                                   Counterparty

     If the Floating Yield
     is less than Fixed Yield:     Counterparty pays the Payment Amount to BofA

     The "PAYMENT AMOUNT" shall mean an amount equal to the product of (a) the
     Notional Amount (expressed in units of one million dollars) multiplied by
     (b) the Dollar Value of One Basis Point per Million Dollars Face Amount
     multiplied by (c) the difference (expressed in units of basis points, a
     "basis point" being 1/100th of one percent) between the Floating Yield and
     the Fixed Yield.

     The "FLOATING YIELD" shall mean the yield to maturity of the Reference
     Treasury, as calculated using standard calculation methods published by the
     Securities Industry Association for the Reference Treasury, based on the
     price which BofA determines on the Determination Date as the price at which
     the Reference Treasury could be purchased in the U.S. Government securities
     market for settlement in New York on the Payment Date.

                                     Page 2

<PAGE>

     The "DOLLAR VALUE OF ONE BASIS POINT PER MILLION DOLLARS FACE AMOUNT" means
     the change in price, as determined by BofA according to its standard
     methods, which would occur for one million dollars in face amount of the
     Reference Treasury, if the yield to maturity were to change by one basis
     point (one "basis point" being 1/100th of one percent).

B.   GENERAL TERMS


     1.  PAYMENT.  The parties hereto agree that the Payment Amount shall be
     paid in accordance with the Particular Terms.  The payment to be made
     pursuant hereto shall be made not later than 4:00 P.M. (New York City time)
     on the Payment Date to the account of the party entitled to receive such
     payment, as specified below.

     2.   TRANSFER.  Neither this Confirmation nor the agreement nor Transaction
     evidenced hereby nor any interest or obligation herein or hereunder may be
     transferred by either party without the prior written consent of the other
     party.  Any transfer or attempted transfer without such consent shall be
     void.

     respect to a party before final payment of all obligations of that party
     hereunder shall be an Event of Default with respect to that party (the

     Banking Day after written notice of nonpayment from the other party; or

     seeks, under any existing or future law of any jurisdiction (domestic or

     (d) there is commenced against the party any case, proceeding or other
     action of a nature referred to in clause (c) hereof which (1) results in
     the entry of an order for relief or any such adjudication or appointment
     with respect to the party or any of its assets or (2) remains undismissed,
     unstayed, undischarged or unbonded for a period of 30 days; or

     (e) the party makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors;
     or

     (f) there is commenced against the party any case, proceeding or other
     action seeking issuance of a warrant of attachment, execution, distraint or
     similar process against all or any substantial part of its assets, which
     case, proceeding or other action results in the entry of an order for any
     such relief which is vacated, discharged, or stayed or bonded pending
     appeal within 30 days from the entry thereof; or

     (g) the party takes any action in furtherance of, or indicating its consent
     to, approval of, or acquiescence in, any of the acts set forth in clauses
     (c) through (f) hereof; or

     (h) the party generally does not, or shall admit in writing its inability
     to, pay its debts as they become due; or

     (i) any loan indebtedness of the party in an amount not less than
     $50,000,000 shall have become payable before the due date thereof as a
     result of acceleration of maturity caused by the occurrence of any event of
     default thereunder or if any other such loan indebtedness shall not be
     repaid at maturity, as extended by any applicable grace period specified in
     the contracts or agreements constituting such loan indebtedness.

     4.   REMEDIES UPON EVENT OF DEFAULT.

     (a) If, at any time before the Payment Date, an Event of Default occurs
     with respect to the Defaulting Party and is then continuing, the other
     party (the "Non-Defaulting Party") shall have the right, by written notice
     sent to the Non-Defaulting Party before the Payment Date, to terminate the
     Transaction on a date specified in such notice (the "Early Termination
     Date"), which shall be no earlier than the date such notice is sent and no
     later than the day before the Payment Date.  Upon such notice, the
     obligations of the parties to make payment of the Payment Amount shall
     terminate as of the Early Termination Date (whether or not the Event of
     Default is then continuing), and, in lieu thereof, an Early Termination
     Amount shall become due and payable as of the Early Termination Date.  The
     Early Termination Amount shall be determined, in good faith, by the Non-
     Defaulting Party as follows:

                                     Page 4

<PAGE>

          (i) The Non-Defaulting Party shall determine the amount it would be
          required to pay to a creditworthy third party (expressed as a positive
          amount), or the amount such a creditworthy third party would be
          willing to pay the Non-Defaulting Party (expressed as a negative
          amount), in either case, as of the Early Termination Date, in
          consideration of an agreement between the third party and the Non-
          Defaulting Party which would create payment obligations between the
          Non-Defaulting Party and the third party economically equivalent to
          the payment obligations hereunder (in the absence of early
          termination) between the Non-Defaulting Party and the Defaulting
          Party.

          (ii) If the Early Termination Amount is a positive number, it shall
          become due and payable by the Defaulting Party to the Non-Defaulting
          Party as of the Early Termination Date.  If the Early Termination Date
          is a negative number, the absolute value thereof shall become due and
          payable by the Non-Defaulting Party to the Defaulting Party, as of the
          Early Termination Date.

     (b)  In all circumstances where an Early Termination Date has not been
     designated pursuant to clause (a) hereinabove, the Payment Amount shall
     become due and payable as of the Payment Date, as provided by Section 1
     above.

     (c)  The Payment Amount, from and after the Payment Date, or the Early
     Termination Amount, from and after the Early Termination Date, as the case
     may be, shall bear interest until paid in full at the rate of one per cent
     per annum plus the rate certified by the party entitled to receive the
     payment as its cost (without proof of any actual cost) if it were to fund
     the relevant amount.  In addition, the Defaulting Party shall indemnify and
     hold harmless the Non-Defaulting Party upon demand for all reasonable
     attorney's fees (including allocated costs of in-house counsel) and out-
     of-pocket expenses incurred by the Non-Defaulting Party by reason of the
     enforcement and protection of its rights hereunder.

     5.  REPRESENTATIONS.  Each of the parties hereby represent and warrant to
     each other as follows:
