                             BRE Properties, Inc.
                                       
       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 (prior to 
the 100% stock dividend payable June 27, 1996) 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.

The unaudited pro forma statements of operations are presented for 
comparative purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of what the 
actual results of operations of BRE would have been for the periods presented 
had the Merger occurred on those dates, nor do they purport to represent the 
results for future periods.  The unaudited pro forma condensed statements of 
operations should be read in conjunction with, and are qualified in their 
entirety by, the respective historical financial statements and notes thereto 
of BRE and RCT.

expected to be realized from the Merger.  The cost and timing of integrating

            Preface to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Balance Sheet
                                       
                               January 31, 1996


The following unaudited pro forma condensed balance sheet is presented as if 
the Merger had been consummated on January 31, 1996.  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 this transaction have been made as explained in the 
notes to the condensed balance sheet.

The unaudited pro forma condensed balance sheet is presented for comparative 
purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of what the actual financial 
position of BRE would have been at January 31, 1996, nor does it purport to 
represent the future financial position of BRE.  The unaudited pro forma 
condensed balance sheet should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified 
in its entirety by, the respective historical financial statements and notes 
thereto of BRE and RCT.
