Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 1995
(Unaudited)
Note A: BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The financial statements included in this report have been prepared pursuant to
the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and
footnote disclosure normally included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or
omitted pursuant to such rules. Interim results are not necessarily indicative
of results for a full year. Amounts presented in this report for 1994 are taken
from the Trust's audited financial statements included in its 1994 annual report
on Form 10-K or its unaudited financial statements included in its June 30, 1994
Form 10-Q.
It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the
audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Trust's latest
annual report on Form 10-K. When necessary, reclassifications have been made to
prior period balances to conform to current period presentation.
Note B: PROPERTY ACQUISITION AND DISPOSITIONS
During June, 1995, the Trust acquired an undeveloped pad adjacent to its Plaza
580 Shopping Center for $403,000. The Trust has commenced the development
process of building 5,600 square feet of gross leasable area on the pad and is
engaged in negotiations with prospective tenants for the space.
During May, 1995, the Trust entered into an agreement to sell a 54,917 square
foot undeveloped portion of its Elko Phase II property for $165,000. The Trust
anticipates completing the sale during August, 1995. The sales proceeds are
planned to be used to acquire a property pursuant to a tax-deferred exchange.
During the quarter ended June 30, 1995, the Trust received $58,000 of guaranteed
lease payments relating to properties acquired in 1994. The Trust has treated
these payments as a reduction of the property basis.
At June 30, 1995, the Trust owned 62 income producing properties, totaling 4.8
million gross leasable square feet.
Overall occupancy for the Trust's 62 properties at June 30, 1995, was 93.1%, an
increase from the December 31, 1994 occupancy rate of 91.7% and from the June
30, 1994 occupancy rate of 91.1%. For the Trust's portfolio of fifty retail
properties at June 30, 1995, the occupancy rate was 92.9%. Occupancy for the
Trust's ten commercial properties was 93.1% at June 30, 1995. The Trust's two
industrial properties remained at 100% occupancy.

Note C: CAPITAL EXPENDITURES
It is the Trust's practice to capitalize certain costs which exceed $4,000 and
are associated with improvement and rental of real estate investments.
Capitalized costs include third party leasing commissions, tenant improvements

Trust capitalized $501,000 of such expenditures. This amount is comprised of
$72,000 of "build to suit" capital improvements; $15,000 of capitalized costs
incurred in connection with the leasing of previously unleased space; $368,000
of capitalized costs incurred in connection with previously leased space; and
$46,000 of capitalized costs which relate to improvements to common areas.

Note D: DEFERRED RENTAL RECEIVABLE
In compliance with FASB 13, the Trust has recognized deferred rental receivable
in the amounts of $319,000 and $138,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1995 and
1994, respectively.

<PAGE>
Note E: CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES
During the quarter ended June 30, 1995, $1,985,000 of the Trust's convertible
debentures were redeemed in accordance with the limited mandatory redemption
provisions of the convertible debentures. The Trust elected to exchange these
debentures for 172,077 shares of beneficial interest. Net of the convertible
debentures deferred issuance costs of $66,000, shareholders' equity increased by
$1,919,000 as a result of the redemptions.
Note F: DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN
In accordance with the Trust's Dividend Reinvestment Plan, the Trust received
$169,000 and issued 14,471 shares of beneficial interest during the quarter
ended June 30, 1995 and received $200,000 and issued 14,287 shares of beneficial
interest during the quarter ended June 30, 1994.
Note G: FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS
In 1991, the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT)
adopted a definition of Funds From Operations (FFO) in order to promote an
industry-wide standard measure of REIT operating performance. The 1991
definition is as follows: "FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS means 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 adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint
ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures will be
calculated to reflect funds from operations on the same basis."
In accordance with the 1991 definition, Western calculates FFO for the three
months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively, as follows:

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Trust anticipates that cash flows provided by operations and other sources
available to the Trust will continue to provide adequate funds for all current
principal and interest payments as well as dividend payments in accordance with
REIT requirements. Cash on hand, borrowings under its existing bank line of
credit, as well as other debt and equity alternatives, are expected to provide
the necessary funds to achieve future growth. The Trust has only one loan
secured by one of its properties. Any incurrence of additional debt would be
subject to limitations imposed by the Indenture executed in connection with the
senior notes and the Trust's bank line of credit. Additionally, the Trust
jointly owns one property where the co-owner is obligated under a note that is
secured by the property.
As of June 30, 1995, the Trust had approximately $33 million available under its
$60 million bank line of credit. This facility, which has certain covenants
(including minimum shareholders' equity, maximum ratio of debt to net worth and
income coverage requirements), could be used to fund acquisitions and other cash
requirements. The bank line of credit's interest rate is either LIBOR plus 1.6%
or the participating banks' reference rate, at the Trust's election. This
facility expires May 31, 1996, at which time the Trust intends to renew it.
As of June 30, 1995, the Trust has entered into several new leases which call
for approximately $5.4 million in future costs associated with build to suit
leases, tenant improvements and leasing commissions. These expenditures will be
paid from operating cash flows and borrowings under the bank line of credit.
Two of these leases will expand the Trust's gross leasable area by 53,900 square
feet.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
COMPARISON OF QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 1995 AND 1994
Funds From Operations (1991 NAREIT definition) decreased $309,000, or 6%, to
$5,243,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1995, from $5,552,000 for the
comparable period in 1994. As described below, this decrease is primarily due
to reduced other income and increased interest expense offset, in part, by
increased rental revenue. The Trust, along with most industry analysts,
considers Funds From Operations to be an appropriate supplemental measure of the
operating performance of an equity REIT. Funds From Operations does not replace
net income as a measure of performance or net cash provided by operating
activities as a measure of liquidity.
Minimum rents increased $1,345,000, or 17%, to $9,396,000 for the three months
ended June 30, 1995, from $8,051,000 for the comparable period in 1994. This
increase primarily reflects increases achieved from the Trust's seven
acquisitions during 1995 and 1994, partially offset by the 1994 dispositions.
Recoveries from tenants increased $401,000, or 26%, to $1,973,000 for the
quarter ended June 30, 1995, from $1,572,000 for the comparable period in 1994.
This increase primarily results from the Trust's 1995 and 1994 acquisitions.
10
<PAGE>
Other income decreased $1,054,000 to $92,000 from $1,146,000. The contributing
factors to this decrease were (i) a $600,000 lease termination fee recorded in
the quarter ended June 30, 1994, in consideration for the early termination of a
lease in connection with the shopping center in Red Bluff, California and (ii)
investment income earned in 1994 from the senior notes proceeds prior to the use
of these proceeds for several 1994 acquisitions.
Interest expense increased $469,000 to $2,924,000 for the quarter ended June 30,
1995, from $2,455,000 for the comparable period in 1994. This 19% increase is
primarily due to the increase in the Trust's bank line of credit borrowings to
partially fund property acquisitions. For the quarter ended June 30, 1994, the
Trust had no outstanding balance on its bank line of credit for sixty-two (62)
days. For the three months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994, the daily weighted
average amount owing to the bank under the line of credit was $24.3 million and
$2.5 million, respectively. The weighted average interest rate during these
periods was 8.22% and 6.71%, respectively.
Property operating costs increased $480,000, or 26%, to $2,336,000 for the
quarter ended June 30, 1995, from $1,856,000 for the comparable period in 1994.
This increase primarily is due to the Trust's acquisitions in 1994 and 1995.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased $378,000 to $2,715,000 for the
three months ended June 30, 1995, from $2,337,000 for the three months ended
June 30, 1994. The increase results from an overall increase in the depreciable
basis of the Trust's portfolio of real estate investments due to the additions
made by the Trust since the beginning of 1994, net of dispositions.
Income from operations decreased $721,000, or 23% to $2,430,000 or $0.145 per
share, from $3,151,000 or $0.189 per share for the second quarter of 1994. The
major components of this decrease are decreased other income, increased interest
and depreciation expense offset, in part, by increased rental revenue.
COMPARISON OF SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995 AND 1994
Funds From Operations (1991 NAREIT definition) decreased $466,000 to
$10,185,000. This is a 4% decrease from $10,651,000 earned in the comparable
period of 1994. As described below, this decrease is primarily due to reduced
other income and increased interest expense, partially offset by increased
minimum rents.
Minimum rents for the six months ended June 30, 1995, were $18.4 million, a $2.3
million increase from the same period in 1994. This 14% increase is generally
due to increases achieved from the Trust's seven acquisitions during 1995 and
1994, partially offset by the five dispositions in 1994.
Recoveries from tenants increased $765,000, or 32%, to $3.2 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1995, from $2.4 million for the comparable period in 1994.
This increase primarily results from the Trust's 1995 and 1994 acquisitions.
11
<PAGE>
Other income for the six months ended June 30, 1995, was $281,000, a $1.3
million decrease from the comparable period in 1994. The contributing factors
to this decrease were (i) a $600,000 lease termination fee recorded in 1994 (ii)
investment income earned in 1994 from the senior notes proceeds prior to the use
of these proceeds for several 1994 acquisitions and (iii) mortgage interest
income earned on a note retired during the second quarter of 1994.
Interest expense increased $1.3 million to $5.8 million for the six months ended
June 30, 1995. This 29% increase over the 1994 amount of $4.5 million for the
same period primarily results from increased borrowings on the Trust's bank line
of credit, and the senior note interest for a full six months in 1995 compared
to 4 1/2 months of 1994.
Property operating costs were $3.9 million during the six months ended June 30,
1995. This is a $809,000, or 26%, increase over the same period in 1994 of $3.1
million. As in the Trust's increase in Recoveries from tenants, this increase
results primarily from the Trust's recent acquisitions.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased $788,000 to $5.4 million for the
six months ended June 30, 1995, from $4.6 million for the six months ended June
30, 1994. The increase results from an overall increase in the depreciable
basis of the Trust's portfolio of real estate investments due to additions made
by the Trust since the beginning of 1994, net of dispositions..
Income from operations was $4.6 million, or $0.274 per share, for the six months
ended June 30, 1995, a $1.3 million decrease from the comparable 1994 figure of
$5.9 million, or $0.356 per share. The primary reasons for this decrease are
decreased other income, increased interest and depreciation expense, partially
offset by increased minimum rents.
