1.       Organization, Plan of Reorganization and Basis of Presentation:

                                  Organization

         The Peregrine Real Estate Trust (Trust) was organized under the laws of
         the State of California pursuant to a Declaration of Trust dated July
         31, 1973 and reorganized under a Restated Declaration of Trust dated
         October 7, 1994, which gave effect to the reorganization of the Trust
         under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code.

               Plan of Reorganization Under Chapter 11 Proceeding

         On August 2, 1993, the Trust filed a petition for reorganization under
         Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, which case was heard
         in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of
         California, Sacramento Division, as In re Commonwealth Equity Trust
         Case No. 93-26727-C-11. The proximate cause of the Trust's filing a
         petition for reorganization was its falling out of compliance with a
         restructuring agreement entered into on July 17, 1992 with a lender
         group for which Pacific Mutual Life Insurance Company acted as agent.
         CalREIT did not file for protection under Chapter 11.

         On June 9, 1994, the Trust, the lender group including Prudential
         Insurance Company of America, Pacific Mutual Life Insurance Company,
         ORIX USA Corp. and Trust Company of the West for which Pacific Mutual
         Life Insurance Company acted as agent (Senior Lender Group), the
         Official Committee of Holders of Equity Interests (Equity Holders
         Committee) and the Official Committee of Creditors Holding Unsecured
         Claims (Creditors Committee) (collectively, Proponents) filed with the
         Court the Third Amended Plan of Reorganization which was subsequently
         modified by the First, Second, Third and Fourth Set of Plan
         Modifications, filed on July 13, 1994, July 20, 1994, July 29, 1994 and
         August 2, 1994, respectively. The Third Amended Plan of Reorganization
         as modified (Plan) was confirmed in all respects on August 8, 1994.

         The Effective Date of the Plan (the date on which the Trust emerged
         from bankruptcy) was October 7, 1994. The Trust is under the
         jurisdiction of the United States Bankruptcy Court until entry of a
         final decree which is expected to occur in 1996.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                   ----------


1.       Organization, Plan of Reorganization and Basis of Presentation,
         continued:

         The Plan provided for inter alia: (a) the restructuring of virtually
         all of the Trust's secured and unsecured debt; (b) the reduction in the
         number of Shares of Beneficial Interest held by current shareholders
         from approximately 25,100,000 (old) shares to 2,334,000 (new) shares (a
         reverse stock split); and the issuance of 2,550,000 new Shares of
         Beneficial Interest as well as a new class of Redeemable Convertible
         Preferred Stock, of the Trust to the Senior Lender Group. The
         authorized number of new Shares of Beneficial Interest is 50,000,000.
         From the Effective Date, the Senior Lender Group owns a majority of the
         new Shares of Beneficial Interest and all of the new Redeemable
         Convertible Preferred Stock. The Senior Lender Group also received
         Restructured Secured Notes in the aggregate original principal amount
         of $40,000,000.

         The Plan provides for the reservation of 150,000 new Shares of
         Beneficial Interest for options for trustees who are neither employees
         nor management of the Trust. Eighty thousand of these shares have been
         reserved for the current independent Trustees.

         The Plan also provides that the Trust, at the discretion of the Board
         of Trustees, may adopt a stock option plan under which management may
         be granted options exercisable into a maximum of five percent of the
         Shares of Beneficial Interest, on a fully diluted basis. At March 31,
         1996, 53,336 shares were under option pursuant to the Plan, all of
         which were exercisable.

         The Plan also required that the Trust obtain a $10,000,000 working
         capital line of credit (Credit Facility) to which the Senior Lender
         Group agreed to subordinate. The Credit Facility, which is
         collateralized by certain of the Trust's real property, was obtained
         prior to the Effective Date.

                                Capital Structure

         The Trust's obligation of approximately $80,000,000 to the Senior
         Lender Group was satisfied in the Plan by the issuance to the Senior
         Lender Group of the following securities:

         (a) Restructured Notes Payable in the amount of $40,000,000 which bear
         interest at 8.5% per annum and which are due on October 1, 2000.
         Interest is payable in kind through September 30, 1996, by means of
         Interest Deferral Notes issued quarterly; thereafter, interest is
         payable monthly in cash.

1.       Organization, Plan of Reorganization and Basis of Presentation,
         continued:

         Interest Deferral Notes accrue interest at 8.5% per annum, from the
         date of issuance. Interest payments on the original principal notes and
         on interest deferral notes issued since the Effective Date shall be
         payable monthly in cash commencing on November 1, 1996.

         Restructured Notes Payable and Interest Deferral Notes (collectively,
         Notes) are collateralized generally by all interests of the Trust in
         real and personal property and are subordinated only to certain liens
         which are specified in the Plan. The Notes contain certain covenants
         and restrictions and limit the Trust's ability to incur additional
         indebtedness and provide for the prepayment of principal in the amount
         of 80% of the net proceeds from the sale of the collateral for the
         Notes and from other specified sources. In addition, there are
         covenants related to events or conditions which could have or result in
         a material adverse effect as defined in the applicable agreement.

         (b) Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock in the original face amount
         of $22,500,000 which carries a dividend of 10% per annum. Dividends are
         payable in kind through October 1, 1998 by means of additional shares
         of Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock issued quarterly; thereafter,
         dividends are payable quarterly in cash. The Redeemable Convertible
         Preferred Stock automatically converts into Shares of Beneficial
         Interest pursuant to an established formula if any dividend payment is
         not made in full when due. If all dividends were paid in kind through
         October 1, 1998, no other Shares of Beneficial Interest were issued and
         the Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock were converted to Shares of
         Beneficial Interest on October 1, 1998, the Senior Lender Group would,
         on account of that conversion, acquire 77% of the total Shares of
         Beneficial Interest outstanding after the conversion, bringing their
         total holdings to approximately 89% of the outstanding shares.

         The Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock is redeemable in cash (total
         redemption amount of $26,100,000 and $25,457,000 at March 31, 1996 and
         December 31, 1995, respectively) on October 1, 2000, but in certain
         circumstances, including the sale of all or substantially all the
         assets of Peregrine, may be redeemed earlier.

         The Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock has been recorded at a
         discount to its face amount, which face amounts are $26,100,000 and
         $25,475,000 at March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, respectively,
         based on an imputed rate of return of 12%.

         (c) Shares of Beneficial Interest equal to approximately 52% of the
         total outstanding Shares of Beneficial Interest.

                              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 Peregrine Real Estate Trust Annual Report on
         Form 10-K.

         The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of The
         Peregrine Real Estate Trust include the accounts of the Trust and its
         majority-owned subsidiary, California Real Estate Investment Trust
         (CalREIT), a real estate investment trust in which the Trust owns a 76%
         interest.

                             Fresh Start Accounting

         In accounting for the effects of the reorganization, the Trust
         implemented Statement of Position 90-7 (SOP 90-7), "Financial Reporting
         by Entities in Reorganization Under the Bankruptcy Code." Fresh start
         accounting as defined by SOP 90-7 was applicable because
         pre-reorganization shareholders received less than 50% of the Trust's
         new Shares of Beneficial Interest and the reorganization value of the
         assets of the reorganized Trust was less than the total of all
         post-petition liabilities and allowed claims.

         Under the principles of fresh start accounting, all of the Trust's
         assets and liabilities were restated to reflect their reorganization
         value which approximated fair value at the date of the reorganization,
         October 7, 1994.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                   ----------


1.       Organization, Plan of Reorganization and Basis of Presentation,
         continued:

         As a result of the implementation of fresh start accounting, the
         statements of operations of the Trust after the consummation of the
         Plan are not comparable to the Trust's statements of operations for
         prior periods.

         The reorganization value of the Trust's assets was primarily the
         estimated fair value of the Trust's property and interest in CalREIT.
         The aggregate property value was reached through the use of an eleven
         year cash flow analysis discounted at rates generally ranging from 12%
         to 15% and assuming a ten year holding period. The discounted cash flow
         analysis also included an estimate of terminal value, which was
         determined using the discounted value of estimated net operating income
         of each of the respective properties beginning in the year following
         the holding period. This analysis relied on estimates of future
         property performance and the various market factors including the
         supply, demand and price of competing product. Estimates were also made
         as to property lease-up, required capital expenditures and similar
         matters. All of these estimates may vary in the near term from the
         actual future occurrences.

         The interest in CalREIT was valued based on an income capitalization
         approach, without any control premium being attributed to the Trust's
         majority ownership position in CalREIT. The income capitalization
         approach was also used to value the assets underlying the notes
         receivable to determine the value of each note.

                            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.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                   ----------


1.       Organization, Plan of Reorganization and Basis of Presentation,
         continued:

                                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, Sierra Oaks Shopping Center, University Village
         Shopping Center, Timberlake Medical Building, System Integrators Office
         Building, the Trust's Limited Partnership Investment in Placer Ranch
         L.P., and all of CalREIT's properties, with total carrying value of
         $31,908,000 were classified as held for sale. At December 31, 1995,
         properties with total carrying value of $30,749,000 were classified as
         held for sale.

         At March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, all notes receivable owned by
         CalREIT with carrying values of $10,490,000 and $10,502,000,
         respectively, were 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:

         In 1977, the Trust elected to be and was taxed as a real estate
         investment trust (REIT) through the year ended September 30, 1992. A
         REIT is not taxed on that portion of its taxable income, which is
         distributed to shareholders, provided that at least 95% of its real
         estate investment trust taxable income is distributed and subject to
         certain other requirements.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                   ----------

3.       Income Taxes, continued:

         During the year ended September 30, 1993, the Trust did not qualify to
         be taxed as a REIT. The termination of its REIT status was effective as
         of October 1, 1992. The Trust may not be eligible to re-elect to be
         taxed as a REIT prior to its fifth taxable year ended after September
         30, 1993.

         The Trust has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
         109 (SFAS 109) "Accounting for Income Taxes." SFAS 109 requires the use
         of the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred taxes
         are recorded based on the differences between financial statement and
         income tax bases of assets and liabilities and available loss or credit
         carryforwards. A "Valuation Allowance" is recorded against deferred tax
         assets unless it is more likely than not that the asset will be
         realized in the future.

         At December 31, 1995, the Trust had tax net operating loss
         carryforwards (NOL) which may be applied against future taxable income
         of $72,796,000 (Federal) and $31,888,000 (California).

         As required by SOP 90-7, any future benefit realized from NOL's which
         arose before the Effective Date of the Plan will be reported as a
         direct addition to paid-in capital.

         The Trust's alternative minimum tax operating loss carryforwards are
         substantially the same as its NOL at December 31, 1995.

         At the time of the prior change in ownership, when the Trust emerged
         from bankruptcy, it elected to be governed by tax provisions permitting
         the unlimited future use of NOL carryforwards. Under these same tax
         provisions, the amount of the NOL carryforward was reduced by
         $12,963,000 at the time of this election. If another ownership change,
         as defined by the Internal Revenue Code, occurs within two years after
         the ownership change of October 7, 1994, all NOL carryforwards as of
         the date of the second ownership change will be eliminated.

4.       Related-Party Transactions:

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

5.       Statement of Cash Flows Supplemental Information:

         In connection with the sale and foreclosure of properties, the Trust

5.       Statement of Cash Flows Supplemental Information, continued:

         Additionally, on March 31, 1996 and March 31, 1995, the Trust issued
         Interest Deferral Notes at 8.5% per annum in the principal amount of
         $933,000 and $867,000, respectively, as payment in kind for the
         interest then due on the Restructured Notes Payable issued; and
         Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock in the face amount of $643,000
         and $576,000, respectively, as payment in kind for the dividend then
         due on the outstanding Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock.

         During the three month periods ended March 31, 1996 and March 31, 1995,
         the outstanding balance on the Line of Credit was increased by $155,000
         and $139,000, respectively, for interest and expenses incurred.

         Cash paid for interest during the three month periods ended March 31,
         1996 and March 31, 1995 was $962,000 and $2,231,000, respectively.

6.       Per Share Data:

         Extraordinary item for the three months ended March 31, 1995 of $68,000

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. In
addition, unless otherwise noted, operating and financial results are reported
for Peregrine and its subsidiary CalREIT on a consolidated basis. Historical
results set forth are not necessarily indicative of the future financial
position and results of operations of the Trust.

Overview

During the quarter ended March 31, 1996, management of the Trust continued to
concentrate on improving property operations while simultaneously exploring
alternative operating strategies for the future. In the near term, the immediate
priority continued to be to meet the Trust's present and medium term debt
obligations. To accomplish this objective, emphasis remained on maximizing the
income stream from the Trust's hotel and commercial properties and the select
disposition of real estate assets. In addition, during the quarter, the Trust
continued to assess disposition and other strategy relating to its 76% ownership
interest in CalREIT.

The assessment of longer-term operating strategies includes alternatives
relating to the Trust's $44,374,000 in long-term collateralized debt to the
Senior Lender Group (a lender group comprised of Prudential Insurance Company of
America, the Pacific Mutual Life Insurance Company, ORIX USA Corp. and TCW, for
which Prudential acts as agent), as well as $39,584,000 in first mortgage debt
which requires servicing. The note to the Senior Lender Group will accrue
interest in kind through September 1996 and will require cash interest payments
of approximately $4,000,000 per year commencing October 1996. Approximately
$26,100,000 at face value in Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock also held by
the Senior Lender Group will accrue dividends in kind through September 1998 and
will require cash dividend payments of approximately $3,300,000 per year
commencing in October 1998.

The Trust believes the following factors continue to adversely affect, and in
the future could adversely affect, the Trust's financial condition, results of
operation and liquidity:

- -    The capital structure of the Trust resulting from the confirmed Plan of
     Reorganization, including approximately $84,000,000 in senior and first
     mortgage debt and approximately $26,000,000 at face value of Preferred
     Stock at March 31, 1996, plus the associated present and future debt
     service and dividend obligations.


                                       14
<PAGE>   18
- -    The estimated $6,500,000 to $7,000,000 in capital improvements required to
     renovate and refurbish the Trust's hotel properties in accordance with
     Holiday Inn franchise standards; and up to $4,500,000 in fees for
     professional services being assessed against the Trust in connection with
     the Bankruptcy Court proceedings.

- -    The Trust's general and administrative expenses, including costs
     associated with its 17,800 shareholder base and the expenses resulting from
     the Trust's ongoing evaluation of its business strategies and asset
     valuations;

- -    The limited sources and amount of funds currently available to the Trust
     from operations, its revolving line of credit and from property
     dispositions after payment of associated indebtedness; and the inability of
     the Trust to raise capital from third parties in light of, among other
     things, its debt and capital structure, operating history and contingent
     liabilities discussed above; and

- -    The overall lack of synergy and investment quality of the Trust's real
     estate portfolio, the present and expected softness in the Sacramento or
     other California markets where most of the properties are located, and the
     related declines in lease up and lease rates which adversely affect real
     estate values.

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

Revenue

Total Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1996 were $6,520,000 of
which $2,954,000, or 45%, was earned from rent; $3,187,000, or 49%, from hotel
revenue; and, $379,000, or 6% from interest. This represents a decrease of
$333,000, or 5%, in total revenues from $6,853,000 generated for the three
months ended March 31, 1995, of which $3,376,000, or 49%, was earned from rent;
$3,057,000, or 45%, from hotel revenue; and, $420,000, or 6%, from interest.
This decrease is primarily attributable to the loss of rental revenue from the
Trust's System Integrators Office Building in 1996, and the absence of rental
revenue from a medical office building sold in 1995.

Expenses

Total Expenses for the three months ended March 31, 1996 were $8,263,000 of
which $2,624,000, or 32%, was attributable to hotel operating expenses;
$2,033,000, or 25%, to interest expense; $1,211,000, or 15%, to property
operating and management expenses; $1,615,000, or 19%, to general and
administrative expense; and, $780,000, or 9%, to depreciation and amortization.
During this same period in 1995, total expenses were $7,617,000 of which
$2,502,000, or 33%, of this total was attributable to hotel operating expenses;
$2,096,000, or 28%, to interest expense; $1,381,000, or 18%, to property
operating and management expenses; $784,000, or 10%, to general and
administrative expenses; and, $854,000, or 11%, to depreciation and
amortization. Total expenses for the Trust increased by $646,000, or 8%, in the
first quarter of 1996 compared to those during the same period in 1995.

Real Estate Expense. The largest expense categories, $3,835,000, or 46% of total
Trust expenses during the first quarter of 1996, are real estate related and
include all hotel, commercial property operating and property management
expenses.

Interest Expense. Of the $2,033,000 in interest expense during the first quarter
of 1996, $933,000 was on the Senior Debt (satisfied through the issuance of
Interest Deferral Notes), $928,000 on first mortgages, $155,000 on the line of
credit, and $17,000 on pre-petition property taxes.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense. The $74,000 decrease in depreciation and
amortization expense from the first quarter of 1996 compared to that of the
first quarter of 1995 is primarily attributable to properties sold in 1995, as
well as the cessation of depreciation on the Trust's and CalREIT's assets held
for sale.

General and Administrative Expenses. The $831,000 increase in general and
administrative expense from the first quarter of 1996 over that of the first
quarter of 1995 is comprised of a number of items, including administrative
costs to service the Trust's approximately 17,800 shareholders-of-record;
ongoing costs associated with the Bankruptcy Court; financial advisory fees;
and, the retirement of certain personal services contracts with a former officer
of the Trust. Many of the administrative costs to service the Trust's large
shareholder base and to meet public company regulatory requirements are fixed
costs. As a result, the Trust expects its general and administrative expenses to
continue to be disproportionately high compared to the size of its asset base.

Valuation Losses. As of the end of the first quarter of 1996, the Trust reported
total valuation losses of $1,685,000, attributable to an impairment in value of
the Timberlake Medical Building in Sacramento, California, as a reflection of
the properties current physical condition and changed market conditions, as well
as the exercise of the Put/Call Option of the Placer Ranch Partnership Agreement
by the General Partner.

Net Loss

A net loss of ($3,234,000) was reported by the Trust for the three months ended
March 31, 1996, as compared to a net loss of ($761,000) for the three months
ended March 31, 1995.

Property Operations

Commercial Property Operations. At March 31, 1996 and March 31, 1995, overall
weighted occupancy levels by commercial property type were as follows:

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
                                                                 Overall Occupancy

                                                               ----            ----
<S>                                                            <C>             <C>
Shopping Centers                                                81%             80%
Office Buildings                                                69%             83%
Industrial Buildings                                            75%             65%
Medical Buildings                                               31%             60%
Mini Storage Facilities                                         92%             89%
</TABLE>

The weighted average occupancy level is calculated by multiplying the occupancy
by square footage and dividing the total by the total square footage in the
portfolio. The overall weighted average occupancy for the Trust's commercial
portfolio (including the CalREIT properties) as of both March 31, 1996 and March
31, 1995 was 79%.

The decline in occupancies and corresponding rental revenue within the Trust's
commercial property portfolio is attributable to a number of factors. The Trust
sold one medical office building in 1995 and the remaining medical office
building is only 31% occupied at March 31, 1996, despite ongoing leasing
efforts. Two 45,000 square foot office buildings in Sacramento were vacated in
May 1995 by System Integrators, Inc. while operating under the protection of
Chapter 11. Under the original lease, the space produced gross rents of
approximately $75,000 per month, while property operating expenses were
approximately $3,000. One of the buildings was sold in the fourth quarter of
1995 and the other remains vacant despite re-leasing efforts. Without
consideration of this property, the Trust's office portfolio was approximately
81% occupied as of March 31, 1996.

A major tenant in the Regency Plaza Shopping Center in the Sacramento
metropolitan area has ceased paying rent and vacated its space. The tenant
occupied 29,650 square feet of space, or 21% of the net leasable space at the
center and generated approximately $216,000, or 14% of the shopping center's
annual rental revenue. Another major tenant, occupying 14,255 square feet of
space, or 10% of the net leasable space at the shopping center, ceased paying
rent in March 1996. This tenant generated approximately $145,400, or 12% of the
center's annual revenue. The Trust has initiated eviction proceedings.


                                       17
<PAGE>   21
A major tenant at the Hurley-Ethan I suburban office property has been acquired
by another firm and has given notice that it will be vacating in the second
quarter of 1996, approximately 5,800 square feet, or 16% of the net leasable
space at the property. This tenant generated approximately $99,500 in annual
revenue, or 26% of that property's total revenue in 1995.

Hotel Operations. Throughout the first quarter, substantial attention was
directed at the Trust's four directly-owned hotel properties. Remodeling and
refurbishing requirements were identified and in the first quarter of 1996
approximately $1,300,000 in initial improvements commenced. The Holiday Inn
Redding continued to be closed throughout the first quarter while redevelopment
work at the property was in progress. Without consideration of the Redding
hotel, the average weighted occupancy for the remaining three Holiday Inns was
73% during the three months ended March 31, 1996 compared to 53% during the same
period in 1995.

Dispositions. During the first quarter of 1996, certain of the Trust's
directly-owned retail and commercial properties were marketed for sale. One
property, Sierra Oaks Shopping Center in Roseville, California closed in April
1996. CalREIT sold the Redfield 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
Scottsdale property was $299,000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Trust had $5,447,000 in unrestricted cash at March 31, 1996, of which
$5,060,000 was held by CalREIT, compared to $5,079,000 at December 31, 1995, of
which $4,778,000 was held by CalREIT. During the remainder of 1996, the Trust
anticipates that its principal sources of funds will be provided by operating
income; a revolving line of credit in the maximum amount of $10,000,000, which
bears interest at 2.25% over prime; and disposition of assets. The line of
credit is collateralized by a first lien on certain of the Trust's properties.
At March 31, 1996, $2,455,000 was available under the Line of Credit.

The Trust presently anticipates it will be able to meet its debt service
obligations through the remainder of the year. However, the Trust has not yet
obtained a source for the payment of up to $4,500,000 in bankruptcy related
professional fees described earlier, or for the $6,500,000 to $7,000,000 in
capital improvements at its hotel properties. Without (the "Professional Fee
Claims") capital improvements, the hotel properties will not be competitive and
may lose their Holiday Inn licenses. The resulting decline in occupancy and room
rental rates would have a material adverse impact on the Trust's overall
financial performance. In the first quarter of 1996, the Trust allocated
approximately $1,300,000 from its Line of Credit to begin Phase I of the
redevelopment of the hotel properties.


                                       18
<PAGE>   22
To meet its financial obligations, the Trust continues to pursue alternative
funding sources, including disposition of assets, as well as restructuring and
debt financing with banks, savings and loan institutions and other traditional
lenders. Approval of the Senior Lender Group is expected to be a condition to
obtaining financing for the redevelopment of the hotel properties and there is
no assurance such approval, if requested, will be granted.

The Trust experienced a net increase in cash of $1,618,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 1996 as compared to a net increase in cash of $3,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 1995, a difference of $1,615,000. For the three
months ended March 31, 1996, cash provided by operating activities was $435,000,
up $882,000 from ($447,000) during the comparable period in 1995. Cash used by
investing activities during the first quarter of 1996 was ($637,000) down from
$187,000 provided during the quarter ended March 31, 1995; and cash provided by
financing activities increased $1,557,000 from $263,000 as of March 31, 1995 to
$1,820,000 as of March 31, 1996.

At March 31, 1996, the Trust had included $3,000,000 in accrued expenses now
pending before the Bankruptcy Court relating to the Professional Fee Claims. In
early May 1996, a settlement agreement between the Trust and certain of the
professional firms was filed with the Bankruptcy Court, however, it is unknown
at this time if the agreement will be approved by the Court.

The note on the Totem Square Shopping Center of $4,284,000 was originally
scheduled to mature on April 1, 1996. CalREIT 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.

Funds (Used By) 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 (loss) as presented in this report. FFO and FAD
should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) as an indication
of the Trust's performance or to cash flow as a measure of liquidity.
