                         PACIFIC REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST
                        NOTES TO INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
                                     (UNAUDITED)

Basis of Presentation

     The accompanying unaudited financial statements include all adjustments
     which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for fair presentation of
     the Trust's financial position, including changes therein, and results of
     operations for the interim period reported upon.  Such statements have been
     prepared from the Trust's accounting records in accordance with the
     instructions to Form 10-Q.

Plan of Liquidation

     On February 4, 1998, the Trust's shareholders approved a Plan of
     Dissolution.  As a result, the Trust's financial statements as of December
     31, 1997 and thereafter have been prepared on a liquidation basis. 
     Accordingly, assets have been valued at estimated net realizable value and
     liabilities include estimated costs associated with carrying out the plan
     of liquidation.

Income Taxes

     The Internal Revenue Code provides that a trust qualifies as a real estate
     investment trust if, among other things, the trust distributes each year at
     least 95% of its taxable income to shareholders.  If the Trust distributes
     at least 95% of its taxable income to shareholders, such distributions can
     be treated as deductions for income tax purposes.  Because it is the policy
     of the Trust to distribute amounts approximately equal to its taxable
     income plus depreciation and amortization, no provision for income taxes
     has been made in the accompanying financial statements. 

Sale of Kings Court Shopping Center

     On May 20, 1998, the Trust entered into a letter of intent to sell it's 40%
     interest in Kingsco, a General Partnership.  Kingsco's sole asset is the
     Kings Court Shopping Center, in Los Gatos, CA.  The sale is contingent upon
     the approval of the buyer with respect to certain property condition
     contingencies.  During April 1998, the estimated net value of Kings Court
     Shopping Center was reduced by $850,000.  This decrease is reflected in a
     reduction in the estimated appreciation of commercial properties and a
     reduction of the deferral of estimated appreciation of commercial
     properties at June 30, 1998.

     Basic and diluted income (loss) per share of beneficial interest is
     computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of
     shares outstanding for the three months and six months ended June 30, 1998

PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION

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

     (1)  LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:

Cash flow used by operating activities was $2,000 for the six months ended 
June 30, 1998 as compared to cash flow used by operating activities of 
$1,404,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1997.  The net change is 
primarily due to the timing differences in the receipt of rents and payments 
of trade payables and the change in expense levels resulting from the sale of 
Monterey Plaza Shopping Center in 1997. 

Cash flow used by investing activities was $418,000 for the six months ended 
June 30, 1998 compared to cash flow provided by investing activities was 
$11,942,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1997.  The net change is 
primarily the result of the sale of Monterey Plaza Shopping Center in 1997.

Cash flow used by financing activities was $198,000 for the six months ended 
June 30, 1998 as compared to $7,963,000 for the six months ended June 30, 
1997. The decrease from 1997 is primarily due to the repayment of short term 
notes payable as the result of the sale of Monterey Plaza Shopping Center in 
1997. 

The Trust entered into a contract to sell it's 40% interest in Kingsco, a 
General Partnership.  Kingsco's sole asset is the King's Court Shopping 
Center, in Los Gatos, CA.  The sale is contingent upon the approval of the 
buyer with respect to certain property condition contingencies.  During April 
1998, the estimated net value of Kings Court Shopping Center was reduced by 
$850,000. This decrease is reflected in a reduction in the estimated 
appreciation of commercial properties and a reduction of the deferral of 
estimated appreciation of commercial properties at June 30, 1998.

In connection with the completion of the development of the Wanlass Shopping 
Center, there are two factors which could adversely affect the net realizable 
value of the property.  First, the purchase price of the fee estate could 
increase above the current negotiated limit.  Second, the necessary site plan 
approvals could be withheld by the City of San Pablo, thereby reducing the 
amount of leasable area and rent revenues for the overall project.  The 
ultimate outcome of these factors and the impact, if any, on the net 
realizable value is not yet determined.  Accordingly, no adjustment for these 
uncertainties has been recorded in the accompanying financial statements.

     (2)  MATERIAL CHANGES IN RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 
30, 1998 COMPARED TO 1997:

Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 1998 was $4,000 as compared to a 
net loss of $1,412,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1997.

During the first six months rental revenues decreased from $1,834,000 in 1997 
to $871,000 in 1998, a decrease of $963,000 or 53%.  This decrease resulted 
from the sale of Monterey Plaza Shopping Center in April 1997.
 
Operating expenses decreased from $513,000 in 1997 to $330,000 in 1998, a 
decrease of $183,000 or 36%.  Property taxes decreased from $162,000 in 1997 
to $46,000 in 1998, a decrease of $116,000, or 72%.  Property management fees 
decreased from $72,000 in 1997 to $31,000 in 1998, a decrease of $41,000, or 
57%.  Each of these decreases resulted from the sale of Monterey Plaza 
Shopping Center in April 1997.

Depreciation and amortization decreased from $475,000 in 1997 to $0 in 1998, 
a decrease of $475,000, or 100%, resulting from the change to liquidation 
basis of accounting. 

General and administrative expense decreased from $208,000 in 1997 to 
$173,000 in 1998, a decrease of $35,000 or 17% due to cost saving measures. 

Gain on the sale of property of $36,000 in 1998 represents the gain on the 
sale of the El Portal pad.  Loss on the sale of property of $767,000 in 1997 
represents the loss on the sale of Monterey Plaza Shopping Center and the 
Trust's five notes receivable.  
 
Interest income decreased from $252,000 in 1997 to $47,000 in 1998, a 
decrease of $205,000, or 81%.  The net change was primarily the result of the 
sale of the Trust's five notes receivable in April 1997.

Interest expense decreased from $970,000 in 1997 to $65,000 in 1998, a 
decrease of $905,000, or 93%.  The decrease was primarily due to the 
assumption of mortgage debt by the buyers of Monterey Plaza Shopping Center 
and the pay-down of short-term debt in 1997.

In connection with a potential merger, the Trust incurred expenses of 
$147,000 during the six months ended June 30, 1997. 

Material changes for the three months ended June 30, 1998 as compared to 1997 
were for the same reason in relative proportionate amounts as those shown for 
the six months.

ITEM 6 (b) - Report on Form 8K was filed on February 4, 1998.
