     PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION - MISSION RIDGE PLAZA, NORTHRIDGE PLAZA AND
     LAGUNA 99 PLAZA

     In lieu of pro forma financial statements, the following narrative
     describes the pro forma financial statement effects resulting from the
     Registrant's acquisition of Mission Ridge Plaza, Northridge Plaza and
     Laguna 99 Plaza.

     Had this transaction taken place as of January 1, 1993, certain pro forma
     effects would have been reflected in the statement of operations of the
     Registrant for the year ended December 31, 1993.  Rent and other revenues
     would have been increased by $2,895,000; depreciation expense would have
     been increased by $905,000; operating expense would have been increased by
     $214,000; and other interest expense would have been increased by
     $2,214,000.  Net income reported for that period would have been decreased
     by $438,000.  Net income per share for 1993 of $0.70 would have decreased
     to $0.67 based on 16,548,198 weighted average number of shares outstanding.

     Had this transaction taken place as of January 1, 1994, certain pro forma
     effects would have been reflected in the statement of operations of the
     Registrant for the six months ended June 30, 1994.  Rent and other revenues
     would be increased by $1,234,000; depreciation expense would have been
     increased by $379,000; operating expenses would have been increased by
     $113,000; other interest expense would have been increased by $376,000; and
     interest and other income would have been decreased by $338,000.  Net
     income reported for that period would have been increased by $28,000.  Net
     income per share for the six-month period ended June 30, 1994 of $0.68
     would have stayed at $0.68 based on 16,657,029 weighted average number of
     shares outstanding.

     Mission Ridge Plaza and Laguna 99 Plaza were constructed in 1992 and lease-
     up took place during 1992 and 1993.  Accordingly, the 1993 operating income
     is less than the annual operating income generated from the properties at
     the time of the property acquisitions and as of the date of this report.

     The pro forma information referred to above is based upon audited 1993
     gross income and direct operating expenses.  These numbers reflect
     occupancy levels in effect during 1993.  The occupancy rate at June 30,
     1994, for Mission Ridge Plaza was 100%.  Northridge Plaza was 96% and
     Laguna 99 Plaza was 98%.  These occupancy rates are higher than the rates
     during 1993.

     Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the
     registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the
     undersigned, thereto duly authorized.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


The Board of Directors
Western Investment Real Estate Trust

We have audited the accompanying Historical Summary of Gross Income and Direct
Operating Expenses (the Summary) of Mission Ridge Plaza, Northridge Plaza and
Laguna 99 Plaza (the Properties) for the year ended December 31, 1993.  The
Summary is the responsibility of management.  Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on the 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 Summary is free of material misstatement.  An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the Summary.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall Summary presentation.  We believe that our audit provides
a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The accompanying Summary was prepared for the purpose of complying with the
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (for inclusion
in the current Report on Form 8-K of Western Investment Real Estate Trust) and
excludes certain expenses, described in Note A, that would not be comparable to
those resulting from the proposed future operations of the Property.

In our opinion, the Summary referred to above presents fairly, in all material
respects, the gross income and direct operating expenses, exclusive of expenses
described in Note A, of Mission Ridge Plaza, Northridge Plaza, and Laguna 99
Plaza for the year ended December 31, 1993, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO HISTORICAL SUMMARY OF GROSS INCOME AND DIRECT OPERATING EXPENSES

A. PROPERTY AND BASIS OF ACCOUNTING

   The Historical Summary of Gross Income and Direct Operating Expenses has been
   prepared in accordance with Rule 3-14 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and
   Exchange Commission and relates to the operations of Mission Ridge Plaza,
   Northridge Plaza, and Laguna 99 Plaza, three shopping centers located in
   Manteca, Fair Oaks and Elk Grove, California, respectively, with
   approximately 283,550 combined square footage.

   In accordance with Rule 3-14, direct operating expenses are presented
   exclusive of depreciation, interest, management fees and income taxes as
   these expenses would not be comparable to the proposed future operations of
   the property.

   The acquisition of the property may result in a new valuation for purposes of
   determining future property tax assessments.

   Rental income is recognized on a straight line basis over the terms of the
   related leases.  For 1993, rental income exceeded the aggregate contractual
   rentals by $93,548.

   NOTE:  Pro forma cash available from operations for 1993 is shown above.  Pro
   forma taxable operating results are derived by deducting depreciation;
   however, as a Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT), Western Investment Real
   Estate Trust is not subject to federal income tax if it qualifies under the
   Internal Revenue Code ("the Code") REIT provisions.  That is, Western
   Investment Real Estate Trust is not subject to federal income tax if it
   distributes 95% of its taxable income and otherwise complies with the
   provisions of the Code.  Western Investment Real Estate Trust intends to make
   distributions in order to maintain its REIT status.  These dividends paid to
   the REIT shareholders are taxable to the shareholders upon distribution.
