NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
April 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,
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.

Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1995 financial statements to
conform to the presentation of the 1996 financial statements.

Commencing August 1, 1995, BRE began allocating a portion of its salaries,
employee benefits and other personnel costs to the real estate expense of the
properties in the portfolio.  While this reclassification does not change the
company's net income or funds from operations, such allocation reduces reported
general and administrative expenses and increases real estate expense by an
equal amount.  Management believes that this allocation is consistent with
industry practices and will provide a better matching of the revenue generated
by the properties and the expenses required to generate that revenue.  The
amounts reclassified from general and administrative expenses to real estate
expenses under this allocation method were $266,000 and $1,065,000 for the
quarter and nine months ended April 30, 1996 respectively.

NOTE B - NET INCOME PER SHARE

Primary net income per share is based upon the average weighted number of shares
outstanding during the periods, increased for the assumed exercise of vested,
in-the-money stock options.

NOTE C - LITIGATION

The company, because of the nature of its business, is sometimes 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,
individually or in the aggregate, will have a material effect on the company's
results of operations, cash flows, liquidity or financial position.

NOTE D - COMMITMENTS

BRE has entered into a development and option agreement with Picerne Development
Corporation (Picerne), an Arizona corporation, which is a wholly owned

currently being developed, with construction expected to be completed by the
third calendar quarter end 1996. Picerne, which developed Phase I, is also
developing Phase II for BRE. The cost for Phase II is projected to be
$12,940,000.

The company has also committed to purchase Berkshire Court, an apartment complex
with 266 units under construction near Portland, Oregon at a price of
$16,410,000. Construction is underway, with completion expected in July 1996.
BRE will purchase the property following its completion in accordance with plans
and specifications, plus attainment of certain occupancy levels.

In addition, BRE has committed to purchase Sycamore Valley Apartments, 440 units
located in Fountain Valley, California at a price of $23,593,000. Previously
known as the Shakewood Apartments, BRE owned the land under the improvements
until 1991, when BRE sold the land to the current owners, who own both the land
and the improvements.  The owners are a public limited partnership, with
approximately 1,500 investors, whose approval is required for the sale of the
property to BRE.  Such approval is anticipated by the third calendar quarter of
1996.

NOTE E - RECENT DEVELOPMENT

On March 15, 1996 (the "Effective Date"), Real Estate Investment Trust of
California, a California real estate investment trust ("RCT"), merged with and
into BRE (the "Merger").  Following consummation of the Merger, BRE changed its
state of domicile from Delaware to Maryland.  The Merger was completed in
accordance with the terms and conditions of the Agreement and Plan of Merger
dated October 11, 1995, as amended (the "Merger Agreement").  Under the terms of
the Merger Agreement, upon the Merger, each issued and outstanding share of
beneficial interest of RCT was converted into the right to receive .57 of a
share of BRE common stock.  The Merger was unanimously approved by the boards of
both companies and by the requisite vote of the shareholders of both.

Pursuant to the Merger with RCT 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 5,342,218 shares of Class A common stock valued at $171,000,000 for
the conversion of RCT shares of beneficial interest.

Pro forma unaudited results of operations assuming the merger had occurred on
August 1, 1994 are as follows:

NOTE F - LINES OF CREDIT AND NOTES PAYABLE

Total bank lines of credit and notes payable outstanding increased $107,500,000
during the quarter ended April 30, 1996.  Pursuant to the Merger, BRE assumed
RCT unsecured notes payable of $55,000,000, and RCT unsecured lines of credit of
$18,200,000.  The unsecured $55,000,000 note payable bears interest at 7.44%

beginning in the year 2000 through the year 2003.  A final principal payment of
$15,000,000 is due in 2004.  The unsecured $18,200,000 borrowing against the
line of credit bears interest at 7.5%.

BRE also utilized two separate bank lines of credit as part of the proceeds to
acquire the Ballinger Common Apartments and Thrasher's Mill Apartments.  One

LIBOR plus 1%.  At April 1996 quarter end the interest rate on this loan was
6.72%.  The second borrowing was for $13,000,000 of which $4,700,000
was repaid during the third quarter ended 1996.  The interest rate on the second
borrowing was 6.5%. At April 30, 1996, total borrowings outstanding against 
these two bank lines of credit totaled $52,500,000.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

April 30, 1996

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The company's cash and short-term investments totaled $2,255,000 at April 30,
1996, down from $4,462,000 at July 31, 1995.

During the nine months ended April 30, 1996, BRE borrowed, on a non-recourse
basis, $12,000,000 secured by the Verandas Apartments in Union City, California.
The loan has a 10-year term, with amortization based on 30 years, and a fixed
interest rate of 7.3%. The balloon payment at maturity is $10,372,000. Depending
on market conditions at maturity, the company may choose, among other things, to
renegotiate the terms with the existing lender, refinance the property with
another lender or sell assets to repay the balloon amounts.

Also during the first nine months of fiscal 1996, BRE completed the tax-deferred
exchange of the vacant Pomona Warehouse property in Pomona, California for the
240-unit Phase I of Newport Landing Apartments in Glendale, Arizona. The loss on
the disposition of the Pomona Warehouse was $93,000.

In addition, BRE completed the tax-deferred exchange of the vacant Irvine
Spectrum property for the 189-unit Candlewood North Apartments in Northridge,
California, during the quarter ended April 30, 1996.  Candlewood North
Apartments was acquired through proceeds that were previously held in escrow
from the Irvine Spectrum exchange and additional cash of $6,500,000.  The 
financial statement loss on the disposition of the Irvine Spectrum property 
was $819,000.

Pursuant to the Merger with RCT 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 5,342,218 shares of Class A common stock valued at $171,000,000 for
the conversion of RCT shares of beneficial interest.

BRE also purchased two properties in the Northwest during the quarter  ended
April 30, 1996. The Ballinger Commons Apartments complex located in North
Seattle with 485 units was acquired for $29,100,000.  Thrasher's Mill Apartments
in Bothell, Washington was purchased for $10,152,000 and has 214 units.  These
two acquisitions along with the Candlewood North Apartments aggregate $49.8
million and add a total of 888 units to the portfolio.

In conjunction with the acquisition of the Ballinger Commons Apartments and
Thrasher's Mill Apartments, BRE utilized its bank lines of credit by borrowing
$26,000,000 and



                                       9

$13,000,000 under separate credit facilities.

Cash commitments at April 30, 1996 include the June 27, 1996 dividend payment of
approximately $10,800,000.

In addition, as more fully discussed in Note D of Notes to Financial Statements,
BRE has committed a total of $77,243,000 for the purchase of four apartment
communities.  These acquisitions may be funded through a combination of tax-
deferred exchanges, cash and borrowings.

BRE has announced an agreement to sell 47 acres of land under a large apartment
complex in Daly City, California to the owner of the improvements for a cash
purchase price of $58 million.  The sale is subject to certain contingencies,
including a five-month due diligence period during which the purchaser may
review the property,  seek to arrange financing and, at the purchaser's election
without penalty, terminate the purchase agreement. Assuming satisfaction of
closing conditions, the purchase agreement contemplates a closing of the sale
between June 14 and September 14, 1996, with the sale intended to be treated by
BRE as a series of tax-deferred exchanges into apartment properties.  BRE's
basis in the land for both book and tax purposes is $7.4 million; accordingly,
the company would realize a one-time non-recurring gain on sale of $50.6
million.

In addition to cash and short-term investments, the company has available bank
lines of credit totaling $100,000,000.  There were borrowings of $52,500,000
outstanding under the lines of credit at April 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.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net income for the quarter and nine months ended April 30, 1996 was $8,251,000
($.60 per share) and $19,830,000 ($1.65 per share), compared to $4,913,000 ($.45
per share) and $17,562,000 ($1.61 per share) for the same quarter and nine
months last year.  Included in the April 30, 1996 nine months results were net
losses on sales of investments of $899,000 ($.08 per share), compared to net
gains on sales of investments of $370,000 ($.04 per share) for the nine months
ended April 30, 1995.

Funds from operations totaled $10,993,000 and $27,418,000 for the quarter and
nine months ended April 30, 1996, up 12.7% and 9.5% from the same periods last
year on a per share basis.  Funds from operations 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
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


                                       10

operations is an appropriate supplemental measure of the company's operating
performance.


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


     PROPERTY TYPE                                        OVERALL OCCUPANCY
     ----------------------------------------------------------------------
     Apartments                                                         94%
     Other Real Estate Assets                                           96%


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, comprising approximately 96% of total revenue, rose 38.4% for the
quarter and 19.7% for the nine months ended April 30, 1996 from the comparable
periods last year.  The increases reflect the properties acquired upon
consummation of  the Merger and improved performance of existing apartment
communities.

EXPENSES

Operating expenses of equity investments increased 34% and 25% for the 
quarter and nine months ended April 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.

For the quarter and nine month period ended April 30, 1995, general and 
administrative expenses were $1,326,000 and $3,968,000, before any 
reclassifications. General and administrative expenses were $1,146,000 for 
the quarter ended April 30, 1996 and $2,921,000 for the nine months ended 
April 30, 1996, after making the adjustments and reclassifications described 
in the following paragraph.

Commencing August 1, 1995, BRE began allocating a portion of its salaries, 
employee benefits and other personnel costs to the real estate expense of the 
properties in the portfolio. While this reclassification does not change the 
company's net income or funds from operations, such an allocation reduces 
reported general and administrative expenses and increases real estate 
expense by an equal amount. Management believes that this allocation is 
consistent with industry practices and will provide a better matching of the 
revenue generated by the properties and the expenses required to generate 
that revenue. The amounts reclassified from general and administrative 
expenses to real estate expenses under this allocation method were $266,000 
and $1,065,000 for the quarter and nine months ended April 30, 1996 
respectively.

                                       11

As more fully discussed in Note E of Notes to Financial Statements, on October
11, 1995, BRE entered into the Merger Agreement with RCT.  Through April 30,
1996, BRE incurred or expects to incur investment banking, legal, accounting and
other costs related to the Merger aggregating $5,432,000.  This amount was
allocated upon completion of the Merger, with $2,651,000 allocated to land and
building, and $2,781,000 to shareholders equity.

Interest expense was up $1,266,000 and $2,198,000 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 Ballinger Commons and
Thrasher's Mill Apartments; and new mortgage loans, assumed since August 1,
1994, on Camino Seco Village, Colonia del Rio, Fountain Plaza, Hacienda del Rio,
Oracle Village, SpringHill and Verandas Apartments.

GAIN (LOSS) ON SALES

No gain or loss on sales of investments was recorded during the quarter ended
April 30, 1996. The company has recorded in its financial statements gains
totaling $62,307,000 which have been deferred for tax purposes since the
company's 1970 inception through April 30, 1996.

The losses on the previously discussed sales of Pomona Warehouse and Irvine
Spectrum aggregated $912,000 for the nine months ended April 30, 1996.
Offsetting the losses was the $13,000 increase in the reported gain on Marymoor
Warehouse, sold in November 1994.

DIVIDENDS

The $.66 per share dividend declared for the quarter ended April 30, 1996 was
approximately 83% of funds from operations.  The dividend exceeded reportable
net income.

The special dividend of $.049 per share related to the Merger was effectively
declared upon completion of the Merger and paid on March 28, 1996 to
shareholders of record March 14, 1996.

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

STATEMENT OF EARNINGS PER SHARE

The company issued 5,342,218 shares of BRE Common Stock for the conversion of
RCT shares outstanding pursuant to the merger on March 15, 1996.

Average shares outstanding are computed by adding the shares outstanding at each
month end and dividing that result by the number of months elapsed in the year-
to-date period.
