                        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
     
     In 1997, the Trust entered into a letter of intent to sell its 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 ground lessors of the Kings Court Shopping Center.  During
     April 1998, the estimated net sales price of Kings Court Shopping Center
     was decreased 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 March 31,
     1998.

Reclassifications

     Certain 1997 amounts have been reclassified to conform with the 1998
     presentation.

     Fees paid or payable to the Advisor and Menlo Management Company for three
     months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 were as follows:

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 $195,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 1998 as compared to cash flow used by operating activities of $241,000
for the three months ended March 31, 1997.  The net change is primarily due to
the timing differences in the receipt of rents and payments of trade payables
and change in expense levels resulting from property dispositions.  

Cash flow used by investing activities was $107,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 1998 compared to cash flow provided by investing activities was
$143,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997.  The net change was
primarily the result of a decrease in restricted cash and an increase in
construction costs at one property. 

Cash flow used by financing activities was $129,000 for the three months 
ended March 31, 1998 as compared to $54,000 for the three months ended 
March 31, 1997. The increase in 1998 is primarily due to no proceeds from 
short-term notes payable. 
 
The Trust has a letter of intent to sell its 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 ground lessors of
Kings Court Shopping Center.  During April 1998, the estimated sale price of
Kings Court Shopping Center was decreased by $850,000.  This decrease is
reflected in a reduction of the estimated appreciation of commercial properties
and a reduction of the deferral of estimated appreciation of commercial
properties at March 31, 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 determinable. Accordingly, no adjustment for 
these uncertainties has been recorded in the accompanying financial 
statements.

     (2)  MATERIAL CHANGES IN RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH
          31, 1998 VS. 1997:

Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 1998 was $64,000 as compared to a
net loss of $1,243,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997, a decrease in
the loss of $1,179,000.   

During the first three months rental revenues decreased from $1,130,000 in 1997
to $406,000 in 1998, a decrease of $724,000 or 64%.  This decrease resulted from
the sale of Monterey Plaza Shopping Center in April 1997 and the vacancies at
Kings Court Shopping Center in anticipation of the construction of a new Longs
Drugs Store in 1998. 

Operating expenses decreased from $313,000 in 1997 to $187,000 in 1998, a 
decrease of $126,000 or 40%. Property taxes decreased from $105,000 in 1997 
to $23,000 in 1998, a decrease of $82,000, or 78%. Property management fees 
decreased from $42,000 in 1997 to $15,000 in 1998, a decrease of $27,000, or 
64%.  Each of these decreases resulted primarily from the sale of Monterey 
Plaza Shopping Center in April 1997. 

Depreciation and amortization decreased from $296,000 in 1997 to $0 in 1998, a
decrease of $296,000, or 100%, resulting from the change to liquidation basis of
accounting.

General and administrative expense decreased from $110,000 in 1997 to $95,000 in
1998, a decrease of $15,000 or 14% due to cost saving measures. 

Loss on the sale of property of $770,000 as of March 31, 1997, represents the
loss on Monterey Plaza Shopping Center and the Trust's five notes receivable.  

Interest income decreased by $141,000, or 86%, from $164,000 in 1997 to $23,000
in 1998, as a result of the sale of the Trust's five notes receivable in April
1997.


                                    Page 7 of 9
<PAGE>

Interest expense decreased by $692,000, or 96%, from $724,000 in 1997 to $32,000
in 1998, due to the assumption of mortgage debt by the buyer 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 $98,000
during the quarter ended March 31, 1997.

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