1.       Organization and Basis of Presentation:

                                  Organization

         California Real Estate Investment Trust was organized under the laws of
         the State of California pursuant to a Declaration of Trust dated
         September 15, 1966.

         The Trust became a partner of Totem Square, L. P. (Totem), a Washington
         Limited Partnership in which the Trust owns a 59% interest, on November
         30, 1990. The Trust also formed CalREIT Totem Square, Inc. (Cal-CORP)
         to act as general partner of Totem. Cal-CORP has a 1% interest in
         Totem, and Totem Square Associates, an unrelated party, has the
         remaining 40%.

         On April 14, 1994, The Peregrine Real Estate Trust (formerly
         Commonwealth Equity Trust) as majority shareholder owning 76% of the
         Trust's outstanding Shares of Beneficial Interest, voted its shares to
         replace the Board of Trustees. At that time, the Trust elected a new
         Board of Trustees all of whom were key management personnel of The
         Peregrine Real Estate Trust (Peregrine). Subsequently, the Board has
         grown to five Trustees of which two are independent. Of the three
         remaining Trustees, one is the Chief Executive Officer of CalREIT and
         was the Chief Executive Officer of Peregrine until January 1996; one is
         Chairman of the Board of Trustees and interim Chief Executive Officer
         of Peregrine and one is a former officer of CalREIT and Peregrine.

         At March 31, 1996, the Trust owned three commercial/retail properties
         located in three market areas in the Western United States. The Trust
         also owned a mortgage note portfolio comprised of $19,641,000 in loans,
         with book values of $10,490,000, which bears interest at an overall
         effective rate of approximately 8% and is collateralized by mortgages
         on real property. Most of the investments in the seven loans were
         originated by the Trust in connection with the disposition of Trust
         properties prior to 1996.

1.       Organization and Basis of Presentation, continued:

                              Basis of Presentation

         The accompanying financial statements are unaudited; however, they have
         been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
         principles for interim financial information and in conjunction with
         the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
         Accordingly, they do not include all of the disclosures required by
         generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
         statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
         solely of normal recurring matters) necessary for a fair presentation
         of the financial statements for these interim periods have been
         included. The results for the interim period ended March 31, 1996 are
         not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for the full
         fiscal year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction
         with the December 31, 1995 audited financial statements and notes
         thereto, included in the California Real Estate Investment Trust Annual
         Report on Form 10-K.

         The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of
         California Real Estate Investment Trust include the accounts of the
         Trust, Cal-Corp and Totem.

                            Stock-Based Compensation

         In 1995, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (SFAS
         123), "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" was issued. This
         statement requires either recognition or disclosure of a hypothetical
         charge for stock options. SFAS 123 also establishes fair value as the
         measurement basis for transactions in which an entity acquires goods or
         services from nonemployees in exchange for equity instruments. This
         statement is effective for transactions entered into after December 15,
         1995. The Trust does not intend to record this hypothetical charge for
         stock options, but will instead provide required disclosures beginning
         with the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996.

                                Reclassifications

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

                                   ----------


2.       Investments:

         At March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, the Trust was in the process
         of repositioning or monetizing its assets, principally investments.
         Therefore, all investments are classified as held for sale.

         In 1995, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121,
         "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of",
         (SFAS 121) was issued. SFAS 121, requires that an impairment be
         recognized to reduce the carrying amount of long-lived assets to their
         estimated fair value whenever events or changes in circumstances
         indicate that such carrying amount may not be recoverable. After an
         impairment is recognized, the reduced carrying amount of the asset is
         accounted for as its new cost. During the quarter ended March 31, 1996,
         the Trust adopted the provisions of SFAS 121. Generally, fair values
         are estimated using discounted cash flow, direct capitalization, and
         market comparison analyses.

3.       Income Taxes:

         The Trust has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust and
         as such, is not taxed on that portion of its taxable income which is
         distributed to shareholders, provided that at least 95% of its real
         estate trust taxable income is distributed and that the Trust meets
         certain other REIT requirements.

4.       Related-Party Transactions:

         The Trust and Peregrine are both self-administered. However, they share
         certain costs, including personnel costs, for which the Trust
         reimburses Peregrine pursuant to a cost allocation agreement based on
         each trust's respective asset values (real property and notes
         receivable) that is subject to renegotiation annually. During the three
         month periods ended March 31, 1996 and March 31, 1995, reimbursable
         costs charged to the Trust by Peregrine approximated $71,000 and
         $108,000, respectively.

         At March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, the Trust had $26,000 and
         $45,000, respectively, due to Peregrine.

         One property which collateralized notes payable of $3,089,000 was
         foreclosed upon during the quarter ended March 31, 1996, resulting in
         no gain or loss as the net book value of the property was equal to its
         debt.

         Cash paid for interest during the three month periods ended March 31,
         1996 and March 31, 1995, was $139,000 and $227,000, respectively.

         used in the computations was 9,157,000. At March 31, 1996 there were no
         outstanding stock options.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.
Historical results set forth are not necessarily indicative of future financial
position and results of operations of the Trust.

Overview

During the latter part of 1995 and the first quarter of 1996, California Real
Estate Investment Trust began to implement its strategy to expand the Trust both
to enhance share value and increase cash available for distribution. Management
began a program to reposition the Trust's assets to implement a growth strategy
through merger or acquisitions.

As part of the Trust's strategy, the Trustees reviewed the past, present and
expected future performance of the Casa Grande Motor Inn in Arroyo Grande,
California. Despite significant improvements in operations under a professional
management company, the hotel's current and projected financial performance was
insufficient to cover its debt service requirements. The Trust suspended debt
service payments and contacted the lender on the property with a proposal to
renegotiate financing. The proposal was rejected and in February 1996, the Casa
Grande Motor Inn was returned to the lender through foreclosure.

Simultaneously, the Trust's four commercial properties were readied for sale.
Leasing, capital and tenant improvement expenditures were approved as they
related to their impact on potential sales prices. As of the end of the first
quarter of 1996, Redfield Commerce Center in Scottsdale, Arizona was sold and
the three other commercial properties had been listed with real estate brokerage
firms. Also during the first quarter, a contract for the sale of the Bekins
Storage Facility was approved by the Board of Trustees and a portion of the
Trust's portfolio of seven mortgage loans were packaged for sale; events
expected to be completed in the second or third quarter of 1996.

After the above activities are completed, the Trust expects to have a
substantial amount of cash with which to pursue an expansion transaction. With a
strong cash position, coupled with New York Stock Exchange and Pacific Stock
Exchange listings, the Trust will be well-positioned to entertain any number of
business opportunities. Concurrent with the search for merger or acquisition
candidates, the Trust has pursued discussions with outside financing sources,
including investment banking firms, to provide either debt or equity financing
for CalREIT's expansion plans. At this time, the Trust believes if a potential
transaction were to enter the final stages of negotiation such financing would
be available.


                                       9
<PAGE>   13
It should be noted, however, that any significant transaction proposed by
CalREIT will require the approval of the Board of Trustees of Peregrine and that
trust's Senior Lender Group. Any additional action that Peregrine, as the
majority shareholder in the Trust might take is unclear.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 1996 to the Three Months Ended
March 31, 1995

Net income of $440,000 was reported by the Trust for the three months ended
March 31, 1996, an improvement of $198,000 over the net income of $242,000 for
the three months ended March 31, 1995. This increase was primarily the result of
a gain on the sale of the Redfield Commerce Center in March 1996.

Total Revenues decreased $8,000, or 1%, to $871,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 1996, down from $879,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1995.
This decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in interest revenue
offset by an increase in rental revenues.

Rental revenues increased by $33,000, or 6%, to $569,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 1996, up from $536,000 for the three months ended March 31,
1995. This increase was primarily the result of increases in rental revenue
produced by Totem Square which offset decreases in rental revenue from the
Bekin's Storage Facility.

Interest revenue decreased by $41,000, or 12%, to $302,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 1996, down from $343,000 for the three months ended March 31,
1995. This decrease was primarily due to the decrease in interest received from
one mortgage noteholder offset by the collection of delinquent interest received
from another noteholder.

Total Expenses increased by $27,000, or 4%, to $730,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 1996, up from $703,000 for the three months ended March 31,
1995. This increase in total expenses resulted primarily from the increase in
general and administrative expenses which offset the decreases in depreciation
and amortization and interest expenses.

General and administrative expenses increased by $226,000, or 121%, from
$187,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1995, to $413,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 1996. These changes were due to the net effect of
increases and decreases in various expense categories. The largest increases
were generated by additional Trustee fees paid for expansion transaction
development services, the fee paid to Secured Capital Corporation for Phase I of
the packaging and disposition of certain of the Trust's mortgage notes, as well
as by an increase in shareholder servicing costs.

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $127,000 from the first quarter
of 1996 compared to that of the first quarter of 1995. The decrease in
depreciation and amortization is a direct result of the cessation of
depreciation of the Trust's rental properties held for sale.

Dispositions. During the first quarter of 1996, the Trust sold an
office/warehouse property in Scottsdale, Arizona and its only hotel property in
Arroyo Grande, California, was allowed to be foreclosed upon after the lender
refused a proposal from the Trust to restructure the debt terms. The net 
gain recognized from the sale of the Redfield Commerce Center in Scottsdale was
$299,000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At March 31, 1996, the Trust had $5,060,000 in cash. Its three properties had a
net book value of $13,354,000 at that date with collateralized indebtedness
against rental properties totaling $5,224,000 (39%). CalREIT's $19,641,000 note
portfolio is carried at a book value of $10,490,000 due primarily to cumulative
write downs in valuation. The primary sources of liquidity for the Trust in the
remainder of 1996, which management believes will adequately meet its future
liquidity and capital resource requirements, will be its cash on hand, cash
generated from operations, interest payments on its notes, and cash generated
from asset dispositions. The primary demands on the Trust's capital resources
will be debt service payments and expenses associated with the search for,
analysis of and negotiations with respect to potential expansion transactions.

The Trust experienced a net increase in cash of $282,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 1996, compared to a net increase in cash of $1,110,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 1995, a difference of $828,000. For the three
months ended March 31, 1996, cash provided by operating activities was $338,000,
up $29,000 from $309,000 during the same period in 1995. Cash provided by 
investing activities during this same period decreased by $851,000 to ($33,000),
down from $818,000, primarily the result of a reduction in collections on notes
receivable; and cash used in financing activities increased by $6,000 from
$17,000 to $23,000.

The note on Totem Square of $4,284,000 was originally scheduled to mature on
April 1, 1996. The Trust has received an extension from the lender to May 30,
1996, under the same terms and conditions as the existing agreement and
anticipates signing an extension to May 1997.

The Trust believes that to facilitate a clear understanding of the operating
results of the Trust, Funds From Operations should be examined in conjunction
with net income. Industry analysts generally define Funds From Operations as net
income adjusted for certain non-cash expenses, primarily depreciation and
amortization. Funds From Operations should not be considered as a substitute for
net income as an indication of the Trust's performance or as a substitute for
cash flow as a measure of its liquidity.

Funds From Operations and Funds Available for Distribution. REIT analysts
generally consider Funds From Operations (FFO) an appropriate measure of
performance in comparing the results of operations of REIT's. FFO is defined by
the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts as net income computed
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles before gains and
losses on sales of property and from debt restructuring plus depreciation and
amortization. Funds Available for Distribution (FAD) is defined as FFO less
capital expenditures funded by operations and loan amortization. The Trust
believes that in order to facilitate a clear understanding of the historical
operating results of the Trust, FFO and FAD should be examined in conjunction
with net income as presented in this report. FFO and FAD should not be
considered as an alternative to net income as an indication of the Trust's
performance or to cash flow as a measure of liquidity.
