                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   ----------


1.       Organization and Basis of Presentation

                                  Organization

        The Peregrine Real Estate Trust ("Peregrine") was organized under the
laws of the State of California pursuant to a Declaration of Trust dated July
31, 1973, and pursuant to a Plan of Reorganization (the "Plan") under Chapter
11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code was reorganized under a Restated
Declaration of Trust dated October 7, 1994 (the "Effective Date"). Commencing
September 1, 1993, Peregrine became self-administered. Peregrine's obligation
of approximately $80,000,000 to a group of secured lenders (the "Senior Lender
Group") was satisified by the Plan by the issuance to the Senior Lender Group
of 52% of the Common Shares of Beneficial Interest, Redeemable Convertible
Preferred Stock ("Preferred Stock") in the original face amount of $22,500,000,
which carries a dividend of 10% per annum and notes payable in the original
face amount of $40,000,000 which bears interest at 8.5% per annum (the "Senior
Lender Group Notes Payable").

         At March 31, 1997, Peregrine owned nineteen commercial properties
located primarily in the Sacramento area, three hotel properties located in
Northern California, a partnership interest and three mortgage notes secured by
real property. Peregrine's 76% stock ownership interest in the California Real
Estate Investment Trust ("CalREIT") was sold on January 3, 1997, for $20,222,000
in cash.

                              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, 1997 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,
1996 audited financial statements and notes thereto, included in The Peregrine
Real Estate Trust's Annual Report on Form 10-K.

         The accompanying unaudited financial statements as of and for the three
months ended March 31, 1997 reflect the accounts of Peregrine. The accompanying
audited balance sheet as of December 31, 1996 and unaudited statements of
operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 1996 reflect the
consolidated accounts of Peregrine and its former majority-owned subsidiary
CalREIT, in which Peregrine had a 76% stock ownership interest until January 3,
1997, when it was sold for $20,222,000 in cash.

         Herein, Peregrine and CalREIT, on a consolidated basis, are referred to
as the "Trust".

1.       Organization and Basis of Presentation, continued

                                    Estimates

         The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts or assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

                                Reclassifications

         Certain reclassifications have been made in the presentation of the
1996 financial statements to conform to the 1997 presentation.


2.       Investments in Rental Properties, Notes Receivable and Partnerships

         At March 31, 1997, 3900 Lennane Drive with a total carrying value of
$1,895,000 was classified as "held-for-sale". At December 31, 1996, 3900 Lennane
Drive and CalREIT's two directly owned properties with total carrying values of
$1,895,000 and $8,585,000, respectively, were classified as "held-for-sale".

         At March 31, 1997, no notes receivable were classified as
"held-for-sale". At December 31, 1996, all notes receivable directly owned by
CalREIT with a carrying value of $1,576,000, were classified as "held-for-sale".

         At March 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996, Peregrine was a partner in CR
Properties, a general partnership, in which Peregrine owns a 50% interest. CR
Properties is a limited partner in a partnership which owns an office building
in Sacramento, California. No portion of the CR Properties partnership loss has
been recognized in the Trust's financial statements for the three month periods
ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, as the partnership agreement specifies that net
losses shall be allocated 100% to the other partner. As CR Properties has a
limited partnership interest, it has no contingent liability with respect to the
office building debt. Peregrine's investment in CR Properties had a carrying
value of $0 at March 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996.

2.       Investments in Rental Properties, Notes Receivable and Partnerships,
         continued

         At March 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996, the Trust's investments are
recorded at reorganization value net of accumulated depreciation and
amortization and impairment losses ("valuation losses") recognized since the
Effective Date, unless they are CalREIT's investments, in which case they are
carried at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization and impairment
losses recognized. The valuation allowances for possible investment losses
recorded through March 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996, represent the excess of
the carrying value of individual assets over their appraised or estimated fair
value (less estimated selling costs if "held-for-sale").

         During the three month period ended March 31, 1997, the Trust reported
no valuation losses. During the three month period ended March 31, 1996, the
Trust reported total valuation losses of $1,685,000, which were attributable to
an impairment in the value of CalREIT's Fulton Square Shopping Center in
Sacramento, California ($295,000) and an impairment in the value of Peregrine's
Placer Ranch partnership investment ($1,390,000), which was sold in July 1996.


3.       Investments in Marketable Securities

         At March 31, 1997, the Trust had $0 invested in marketable securities.
At December 31, 1996, the Trust had $14,115,000 invested in U.S. Government
Agency mortgage-backed securities classified as "available-for-sale", all of
which were held by CalREIT.


4.       Restricted Cash

         At March 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996, cash of $994,000 and $986,000,
respectively, was restricted. Such funds, which represent the balance of the net
proceeds from the sale of certain assets of Peregrine, are being held in an
escrow account for the benefit of the Senior Lender Group.


5.       Long-Term Notes Payable

         At March 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996, the Trust had long-term notes
payable, other than the Senior Lender Group Notes Payable and the Line of
Credit, of $27,018,000 and $32,263,000, respectively. Most of the long-term
notes payable are collateralized by first deeds of trust on rental properties,
with an aggregate net book value of $31,228,000 and $38,695,000, at March 31,
1997 and December 31, 1996, respectively.

5.       Long-Term Notes Payable, continued

         During 1996, Peregrine's office building located at 3900 Lennane Drive,
Sacramento, California continued to be vacant despite efforts to lease the
property. In addition, management continued its efforts to either sell the
property or restructure the debt due to negative cash flow resulting from the
required debt service payments (including tax impounds) of approximately $25,000
per month. All efforts to lease or sell the property or restructure the debt to
a manageable level failed. As a result, in February 1997, after consent from
both the Senior Lender Group and Foothill Capital Corporation (the lender on the
Line of Credit), Peregrine ceased debt service payments. In March 1997,
Peregrine was notified that the lender has initiated judicial foreclosure
proceedings against the note. The unpaid balance of the note at the time of
default was approximately $2,493,000, of which approximately $2,380,000 is
subject to recourse.


6.       Related-Party Transactions

         Peregrine and CalREIT are both self-administered. During the three
month period ended March 31, 1997, Peregrine charged CalREIT $1,600 for direct
services provided by Peregrine employees based upon computed hourly rates,
including salary, taxes, and benefits. During 1996, Peregrine and CalREIT shared
certain costs, including personnel costs, for which CalREIT reimbursed Peregrine
pursuant to a cost allocation agreement based respective asset values. The cost
allocation agreement between Peregrine and CalREIT was terminated in January
1997, following Peregrine's sale of its 76% stock ownership interest in CalREIT.
During the three month period ended March 31, 1996, reimbursable costs charged
by Peregrine to CalREIT approximated $71,000.

         At March 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996, Peregrine had amounts due from
CalREIT aggregating $1,600 and $31,000, respectively.

         Peregrine utilized the services of certain of its independent Trustees
in connection with its analysis of alternative operating strategies, asset
dispositions and day-to-day management activities. In connection with the
consulting services performed, the following amounts were paid to such Trustees

         One parcel of land located in Sacramento with a carrying value of
$30,000 was sold at a county public auction during the three month period ended
March 31, 1997. No gain or loss was recorded on this transaction, as the
carrying value of the land was equal to the carrying value of the liabilities.

         Two parcels of land located in Sacramento with a carrying value of
$82,000 were returned to the bond holder in lieu of foreclosure during the three
month period ended March 31, 1996. No gain or loss was recorded on this
transaction, as the carrying value of the land was equal to the carrying value
of the liabilities.

         CalREIT's Casa Grande Motor Inn, which was collateralized by notes
payable of $3,089,000, was foreclosed upon during the quarter ended March 31,
1996. The carrying value of the assets was equal to the carrying value of the
debt; therefore, no gain or loss on foreclosure was recorded.

         Additionally, on March 31, 1997 and 1996, Peregrine issued Redeemable
Convertible Preferred Stock in the face amounts of $702,000 and $643,000,

9.       Statement of Cash Flows Supplemental Information, continued

         During the three month period ended March 31, 1996, the outstanding
balance on the Line of Credit was increased by $169,000, for interest and
expenses incurred.

         Cash paid for interest during the three month periods ended March 31,
1997 and 1996, was $1,566,000 and $962,000, respectively.


10.      Per Share Data

         Per share data for the three month periods ended March 31, 1997 and
1996, were computed in conformity with the provisions of Accounting Principles
Board Opinion 15 ("APB 15"). In accordance with APB 15, the earnings per share
calculation includes all dilutive Common Shares of Beneficial Interest
equivalents, based on stock options outstanding during the period (using the
treasury stock method). There were 86,666 and 53,332 stock options outstanding
at March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively; however, stock options had an
antidilutive effect on earnings per share and accordingly were excluded from all
earnings per share computations.

         The weighted average number of shares used in the computation was
4,881,000 during the three month periods ended March 31, 1997 and 1996.


11.      Distributions

         No cash distributions were made to the holders of Common Shares of
Beneficial Interest during the three month periods ended March 31, 1997 and
1996.

         Under the terms of the agreements with respect to the Senior Lender
Group Notes, Peregrine is substantially restricted from and does not anticipate
making any distributions to shareholders in the foreseeable future.

12.      Commitments and contingencies, continued

                                   Litigation

         At March 31, 1997, Peregrine was a party to a number of lawsuits. Most
involved ordinary disputes common in the real property management business and
amounts immaterial to the overall financial position of Peregrine.

         At March 31, 1997, Peregrine was a defendant in a case filed by MDC
REIT Holdings, L.L.C. ("MDC") in California state court, on December 24, 1996.
MDC alleges that Peregrine breached a certain stock purchase agreement pursuant
to which Peregrine was to have sold to MDC certain shares of the Common Shares
of Beneficial Interest of CalREIT that were owned by Peregrine. MDC is seeking
damages it allegedly incurred in excess of $900,000, and recovery of its
attorney fees, costs, and interest. Management believes, and has been advised by
its counsel, that MDC's claims are without merit. Peregrine has answered the
complaint, denying any breach of the stock purchase agreement and asserting
numerous affirmative defenses to MDC's claims. The financial statements do not
include an accrual for any losses related to the complaint.

               Financial Status of The Peregrine Real Estate Trust

The following matters raise substantial doubt about Peregrine's ability to
continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not
include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these
uncertainties.

   -     Subsequent to its emergence from bankruptcy on October 7, 1994,
         Peregrine has incurred cumulative losses through March 31, 1997, of
         approximately $23,000,000.

   -     At March 31, 1997, Peregrine estimates that additional capital
         expenditures of approximately $1,700,000 are necessary to refurbish the
         three hotel properties, of which approximately $1,400,000 are required
         to be completed during 1997 in order to comply with Holiday Inn
         franchise requirements. As a result of not completing the required
         refurbishments within the time frame specified by Holiday Inn,
         Peregrine received a 30-day notice of default under the Holiday Inn
         License Agreements (the "Notice of Default") for its Chico and
         Sacramento hotels in February 1997.  Management has negotiated with
         Holiday Inn and has obtained an extension of time to June 15, 1997 with
         respect to the Chico Holiday Inn, and an extension of time to August
         15, 1997 with respect to the Sacramento Holiday Inn, in which to
         complete the refurbishments required. Should the refurbishments not be
         completed within the time frame established by Holiday Inn or not meet
         Holiday Inn's requirements, the License Agreements could be terminated
         on or after June 15, 1997 with respect to the Chico Holiday Inn and
         August 15, 1997 with respect to the Sacramento Holiday Inn, which could
         constitute events of default under the Line of Credit and Senior Lender
         Group Notes and could result in termination fees of approximately
         $500,000 and $800,000 for Chico and Sacramento, respectively.
         Management has developed an action plan to complete the required
         refurbishments which are currently underway. As a result of the sale of
         its 76% ownership interest in CalREIT on January 3, 1997, Peregrine
         believes it has the necessary resources to complete the required
         refurbishments.

   -     Peregrine was required to begin paying interest in cash to its Senior
         Lender Group in November 1996 and estimates that payments in 1997 will
         be approximately $2,500,000.

   -     The Line of Credit matures on October 7, 1997.

   -     At March 31, 1997, Peregrine was in compliance with the Line of -
         Credit's Tangible Net Worth Covenant; however, it is anticipated that
         prior to the October 7, 1997 maturity date of the Line of Credit,
         Peregrine will be unable to meet the financial covenant due to
         anticipated net losses.

   -     At March 31, 1997, Peregrine was a defendant in a case filed by MDC
         REIT Holdings, L.L.C. ("MDC") in California state court, on December
         24, 1996, as described above.

Overview

During the quarter ended March 31, 1997, management of Peregrine continued to
concentrate on the operating strategy developed in 1996 to maximize the income
stream from the commercial and hotel properties and to dispose of real estate
assets with negative cash flows and/or which require significant capital
expenditures beyond the resources available. Pursuant to this strategy,
management continued its efforts to improve the physical


                                       14

and operating condition of its commercial and hotel properties by completing
repairs and deferred maintenance on the commercial properties, developing and
implementing plans to complete the required refurbishments at the hotel
properties, controlling property expenses and improving both occupancy levels
and collections of rent. On January 3, 1997, Peregrine sold its 76% stock
ownership interest in CalREIT for $20,222,000 in cash, a premium of
approximately $1,500,000 over the book value of Peregrine's CalREIT shares.
Peregrine was unable to reach an agreement with the Senior Lender Group as to
alternative uses of the sales proceeds. As a result, 80% of the net sales
proceeds were used to reduce outstanding obligations to the Senior Lender Group,
as required, and the balance is being used for operating purposes, as discussed
below. On March 20, 1997, several members of the Senior Lender Group notified
Peregrine that they intended to nominate four alternative candidates for
election as trustees of Peregrine at the annual meeting.

At March 31, 1997 Peregrine believes the following factors have adversely
affected, and in the future, could adversely affect its financial condition,
results of operations and liquidity:

   -     The capital structure of Peregrine resulting from the confirmed Plan of
         Reorganization, including the leverage resulting from the Senior Lender
         Group Notes, the first mortgage debt and the Preferred Stock, plus the
         associated present and future debt service and dividend obligations;

   -     The additional $1,400,000 in estimated capital improvements required to
         be complete the refurbishments of Peregrine's three hotel properties in
         accordance with Holiday Inn franchise standards, that if not completed,
         will result in the termination of the Holiday Inn License Agreements
         and will have a material adverse affect on hotel operations;

   -     Peregrine's general and administrative expenses, including costs
         associated with its estimated 16,000 shareholder base and the ongoing
         costs of being a public company;

   -     The limited sources and amount of funds currently available to
         Peregrine from operations, its revolving Line of Credit, which matures
         on October 7, 1997, and from property dispositions, after payment of
         associated indebtedness, and the inability of Peregrine to raise
         capital from third parties in light of, among other things, its debt
         and capital structure, operating history and contingent liabilities;
         and

   -     The overall lack of synergy and investment quality of Peregrine's real
         estate portfolio.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 1997 to the Three Months Ended
March 31, 1996

Net Income of $468,000 was reported by Peregrine for the three months ended
March 31, 1997, an increase of $3,702,000, or 114%, from the net loss of
$3,234,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996. The increase for the
three months ended March 31, 1997, is primarily the result of an increase in
gains on the foreclosure or sale of investments of $713,000, a decrease in
expenses of $1,979,000, and a decrease in valuation losses of $1,685,000.

Revenues

Total revenues were $5,718,000 during the three months ended March 31, 1997,
down $802,000, or 12%, from total revenues of $6,520,000 during the three months
ended March 31, 1996.

Hotel Revenues. Hotel revenue increased $135,000, or 4%, to $3,322,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 1997, up from $3,187,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 1996. The increase is attributable to an overall increase in hotel
revenue at the Sacramento and Walnut Creek Holiday Inns of $354,000, primarily
resulting from increased room occupancy and room rates; offset by an overall
decrease in hotel revenue at the Chico Holiday Inn of $219,000, primarily
resulting from decreased room occupancy.

Rental Revenues. Rental revenue decreased $644,000, or 22%, to $2,310,000 for
the three months ended March 31, 1997, down from $2,954,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 1996. The decrease is attributable to the absence of $569,000 in
rental revenues from CalREIT, which was sold on January 3, 1997; the absence of
$169,000 in rental revenues from the Sierra Oaks Shopping Center, which was sold
in April 1996; and the absence of $28,000 in rental revenues from the Timberlake
Medical Building, which was sold in August 1996; offset by $62,000 in rental
revenues from the Corona, California properties, which were obtained in
September 1996 through the foreclosure of a note; and an overall combined
increase of $60,000 in rental revenues from all other commercial properties in
Peregrine's portfolio.

Interest Revenue. Interest revenue decreased $293,000, or 77%, from $379,000 for
the three months ended March 31, 1996, to $86,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 1997. The decrease is attributable to the absence of $302,000 in
interest revenue from CalREIT, which was sold on January 3, 1997; and a decrease
of $44,000 in interest revenue from mortgage notes due to the payoff of a
$2,240,000 note in June 1996; offset by an increase in interest revenue on cash
accounts resulting from an increased cash balance.

Total Expenses

Total expenses were $6,284,000 during the three months ended March 31, 1997,
down $1,979,000, or 24%, from total expenses of $8,263,000 during the three
months ended March 31, 1996.



                                       16

Operating Expenses. Operating expenses for the hotels decreased $142,000, or 5%,
from $2,624,000 during the three months ended March 31, 1996, to $2,482,000
during the three months ended March 31, 1997. The decrease is attributable to
the absence of $118,000 in operating expenses at the Park Terrace Inn in
Redding, California, due to the sale of the hotel in October 1996; and a
decrease of $59,000 in operating expenses at the Chico Holiday Inn primarily a
result of decreased occupancy; offset by an overall combined increase in
operating expenses of $35,000 at the Sacramento and Walnut Creek Holiday Inns
resulting from increased occupancy.

Operating expenses for the commercial properties decreased $322,000, or 32%, to
$671,000 during the three months ended March 31, 1997, down from $993,000 during
the three months ended March 31, 1996. The decrease is attributable to the
absence of $148,000 in operating expenses for CalREIT, which was sold on January
3, 1997; the absence of $61,000 in operating expenses at the Sierra Oaks
Shopping Center, which was sold in April 1996; the absence of $26,000 in
operating expenses at the Timberlake Medical Building, which was sold in August
1996; and an overall combined decrease of $102,000 in operating expenses at all
other commercial properties in Peregrine's portfolio; offset by an increase of
$15,000 in operating expenses at the Corona, California properties, which were
obtained in September 1996 through the foreclosure of a note.

Commercial and Hotel Property Management Fees. Commercial and hotel property
management fees decreased $55,000, or 25%, from $218,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 1996, to $163,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997. The
decrease is attributable to the absence of $27,000 in management fees for
CalREIT, which was sold on January 3, 1997; the absence of $6,000 in management
fees at the Sierra Oaks Shopping Center, which was sold in April 1996; the
absence of $1,000 in management fees at the Timberlake Medical Building, which
was sold in August 1996; an overall combined decrease of $8,000 in management
fees at all other commercial in Peregrine's portfolio resulting from decreased
cash collections; the absence of $9,000 in management fees at the Park Terrace
Inn in Redding, California, which was sold in October 1996; and a decrease in
management fees of $19,000 at the Chico Holiday Inn as a result of decreased
hotel revenues; offset by an overall combined increase in management fees at the
Sacramento and Walnut Creek Holiday Inns of $15,000 resulting from an overall
increase in hotel revenues.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense. Depreciation and amortization expense
decreased $20,000, or 3%, to $760,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997,
down from $780,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996. The decrease is
attributable to the absence of $5,000 in depreciation from CalREIT, which was
sold on January 3, 1997; the absence of $17,000 in depreciation on assets at the
Timberlake Medical Building, which was sold in August 1996; and the absence of
$35,000 in depreciation on assets at Park Terrace Inn in Redding, California,
which was sold in October 1996; offset by $10,000 in depreciation of the Corona,
California properties, which were obtained in September 1996 through the
foreclosure of a note; and an overall combined increase of $27,000 in
depreciation at all other commercial and hotel properties resulting from
increases in building and tenant improvements and lease commissions.


                                       17
<PAGE>   21
Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $533,000, or 26%, from $2,033,000
for the three months ended March 31, 1996, to $1,500,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 1997. The decrease is primarily attributable to the absence of
$137,000 in interest expense from CalREIT, which was sold January 3, 1997; the
absence of $118,000 in interest expense on the first mortgage note on the Sierra
Oaks Shopping Center, which was paid in full when the subject property was sold
in April 1996; the absence of $11,000 in interest expense on the first mortgage
note on the Timberlake Medical Building, which was paid in full when the subject
property was sold in August 1996; the absence of $45,000 in interest expense on
the first mortgage note on the Park Terrace Inn in Redding, California, which
was paid in full when the subject property was sold in October 1996; and a
decrease in interest expense on the Senior Lender Group Notes of $301,000 due to
a reduction in the balance of notes which is primarily attributable to the
application of $15,578,000 in net proceeds from the sale of CalREIT on January
3, 1997; offset by an increase in interest expense on the Line of Credit of
$56,000 due to an increase in the balance outstanding; and an increase of
$30,000 in interest expense on the first mortgage note on the 3900 Lennane Drive
property, resulting from an increase in principal due to the deferral of
interest in 1996.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses
decreased $907,000, or 56%, from $1,615,000 for the three months ended March 31,
1996, to $708,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997. The decrease is
primarily attributable to the absence of $342,000 in general and administrative
expenses attributable to CalREIT, which was sold on January 3, 1997; a reduction
in Peregrine's general and administrative expenses due to the absence of
$250,000 in fees to its investment banker which were incurred in 1996 and not
incurred in 1997; a reduction in salaries and wages of $213,000, which
represents the severance pay for Peregrine's former Chief Executive Officer
which was incurred in 1996 and not incurred in 1997; and an overall reduction in
salaries and wages of $47,000 due to a reduction in staffing.

Many of the administrative costs to service Peregrine's large shareholder base
and to meet public regulatory requirements are fixed costs. As a result,
Peregrine expects its general and administrative expenses to continue to be
disproportionately high compared to the size of its asset base.

Gain on Foreclosure or Sale of Investments

During the three months ended March 31, 1997, Peregrine recorded total gains on
the foreclosure or sale of investments of $1,012,000, as compared to total gains
on the foreclosure or sale of investments of $299,000 during the three months
ended March 31, 1996. In 1997, the amount is comprised of the gain recorded upon
the sale of CalREIT on January 3, 1997. At the time of the transaction, the book
value of Peregrine's investment in CalREIT was $18,733,000. CalREIT was sold for
$20,222,000 in cash, with $477,000 in related selling costs incurred, resulting
in a gain of $1,012,000. The 1996 amount is comprised of a gain recorded by
CalREIT on the sale of its Redfield Commerce Center.


                                       18
<PAGE>   22
Valuation Losses

During the three months ended March 31, 1997, Peregrine recorded no valuation
losses. During the three months ended March 31, 1996, $1,685,000 in valuation
losses were recorded. The 1996 amount was comprised of a $1,390,000 valuation
loss recorded by Peregrine against its former Placer Ranch Partnership
Investment and a $295,000 valuation loss recorded by CalREIT against its Fulton
Square Shopping Center in Sacramento, California.

Extraordinary Item, Forgiveness of Debt

During the three months ended March 31, 1997, Peregrine benefited from a
forgiveness of debt related to the extinguishment of certain debt related to the
bankruptcy proceedings of $22,000. No such amount was recorded during the three
months ended March 31, 1996.

Dividends

Peregrine made no cash distributions during the three months ended March 31,
1997 or 1996. In addition, Peregrine is substantially restricted from and does
not anticipate making any cash distributions to shareholders in the foreseeable
future.

Property Operations

Commercial Property Operations. At March 31, 1997 and March 31, 1996, overall
weighted occupancy levels by commercial property type were as follows:

<TABLE>

                                                                            Overall Occupancy

</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 Peregrine's commercial
portfolio (excluding CalREIT) as of March 31, 1997 was 85% and as of March 31,
1996 was 76%.

The increases in occupancy levels at Peregrine's retail shopping centers, office
buildings, and industrial buildings noted above are the result of management's
continued efforts to improve the physical and operating condition of the
properties and improvements in the Sacramento area market where the majority of
Peregrine's commercial properties are located.

In addition, during the quarter ended March 31, 1997, management continued its
efforts to lease or sell the property or restructure the associated first
mortgage debt on the property located at 3900 Lennane Drive in Sacramento,
California, which has been vacant since late 1994 and has negative cash flow in
excess of the debt service payments of $25,000 per month; however, all such
efforts failed, and early in 1997 management and the Board of Trustees made the
decision to cease debt service payments and allow the lender to foreclose on the
subject property. In February 1997, after consent from both the Senior Lender
Group and Foothill Capital Corporation (the lender on the Line of Credit),
Peregrine ceased debt service payments and was notified in March 1997, that the
lender had initiated judicial foreclosure proceedings.

Throughout the first quarter of 1997, substantial attention remained on
completing the required improvements at the hotel properties and increasing both
occupancy levels and room rates.

Dispositions

On January 3, 1997, Peregrine sold its 76% stock ownership interest in CalREIT
to a third party, CalREIT Investors Limited Partnership, for $20,222,000 in
cash, or $2.91 per share of CalREIT previously held by Peregrine. 

As a result of the sale of CalREIT on January 3, 1997, all assets, liabilities
and shareholders' equity (deficit) attributable to CalREIT included in the
balance sheet at December 31, 1996 were eliminated as follows: the investment in
rental properties decreased $8,585,000; the investment in notes receivable
decreased $1,576,000; the investment in marketable securities available-for-sale
decreased $14,115,000; unrestricted cash decreased $4,698,000; rents, accrued
interest and other receivables decreased $707,000; other assets decreased
$355,000; long-term notes payable collateralized by deed of trust on rental
properties decreased $5,169,000; accounts payable and accrued liabilities
decreased $295,000; other liabilities decreased $70,000; minority interest
decreased $5,759,000; and the unrealized holding losses on marketable securities
decreased $22,000. In addition, at the time of the sale, $32,000 due to
Peregrine from CalREIT was recorded as a receivable. Of the $20,222,000 in
proceeds received from the sale of CalREIT, $15,631,000 was required to be paid
to the Senior Lender Group as payment of principal and accrued interest on the
Senior Lender Group Notes Payable; the remaining $4,591,000 is held in cash and
available to Peregrine for operations.


                                       20

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Peregrine had $4,627,000 in unrestricted cash at March 31, 1997, compared to
$5,972,000 in unrestricted cash at December 31, 1996, of which $4,698,000 was
held by CalREIT at December 31, 1996 and unavailable to Peregrine for operating,
working capital, or other purposes. During the three months ended March 31,
1997, Peregrine's principal source of funds was from operating income, principal
and interest payments on mortgage notes receivable, and proceeds from the sale
of CalREIT. At March 31, 1997, $600,000 remained available on the Line of
Credit.

Debt service paid on Peregrine's first mortgage notes totaled $683,000 during
the three months ended March 31, 1997. Total debt service requirements on first
mortgage notes in 1997 are approximately $2,903,000. Interest paid on the Senior
Lender Group Notes during the three months ended March 31, 1997 totaled
$746,000. Interest on the Senior Lender Group Notes is required to be paid in
cash on a monthly basis, with aggregate interest payable during 1997 currently
estimated at $2,456,000, based on $28,889,000 principal outstanding.

At March 31, 1997, Peregrine's short and long term cash commitments include
approximately $1,700,000 in remaining capital expenditures to complete the
refurbishment of its hotel properties; the maturity of the Line of Credit in
October 1997; debt service payments on its first mortgage notes of approximately
$2,903,000 per year; interest on its Senior Lender Group Notes currently
estimated at $2,456,000 per year; cash dividend payments of approximately
$3,300,000 per year on the Preferred Stock commencing in October 1998; and
repayment of principal on the Senior Lender Group Notes in October 2000. It is
presently anticipated that Peregrine will be unable to pay the Preferred Stock
dividends in cash commencing in October 1998, and as a result the Preferred
Stock will automatically convert to Common Shares of Beneficial Interest in
accordance with the Preferred Stock Agreement, thereby substantially diluting
the ownership interests of current holders of Common Shares of Beneficial
Interest.

Based on cash flows from operations, its revolving Line of Credit, and its 20%
share of the net proceeds received from its disposition of its 76% stock
ownership interest in CalREIT on January 3, 1997, Peregrine anticipates that it
will be able to fund its day-to-day business operations, and meet its debt
service obligations on its first mortgage notes and Senior Lender Group Notes
through the end of 1997. Management plans to seek an extension of the
maturity date on its Line of Credit, with its current lender; however, if unable
to do so, management will seek an alternative source from which to obtain a new
operating line of credit. Peregrine's Line of Credit contains a financial
covenant, among others, which requires that Peregrine maintain a specific
tangible net worth, as defined in the Agreement, measured on a fiscal
quarter-end basis. While Peregrine was in compliance with the covenant at March
31, 1997, it is anticipated that prior to the October 7, 1997 maturity date of
the Line of Credit, Peregrine will be unable to meet the financial covenant due
to anticipated net losses, and will require a waiver in relation to the covenant
from the lender. Failure to renew or obtain a new operating line of credit would
have a material adverse affect on the financial position and operations of
Peregrine. Management also expects to be able to fund the refurbishments at its
three hotel properties from existing resources; absent this expenditure and
timely completion of the refurbishments, two of the hotel properties will lose
their Holiday Inn licenses, the result of which will be a decline in occupancy
levels and room rental rates, which would have a material adverse impact on
Peregrine's overall financial performance.


                                       21

Peregrine experienced a net increase in unrestricted cash of $3,353,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 1997 as compared to a net increase in unrestricted
cash of $368,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996, a difference of
$2,985,000. For the three months ended March 31, 1997 cash (used in) operating
activities was $279,000, down $714,000 from cash provided by operating
activities of $435,000 during the comparable period in 1996, which is primarily
attributable to increased cash interest payments as a result of interest on the
Senior Lender Group Notes being paid in cash commencing November 1, 1996. Cash
provided by investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 1997
was $19,878,000 up from cash (used in) investing activities of $637,000 during
the three months ended March 31, 1996, an increase of $20,515,000. The increase
is primarily attributable to proceeds received from the sale of CalREIT. Cash
(used in) financing activities was $16,246,000 during the three months ended
March 31, 1997, as compared to cash provided by financing activities of $570,000
during the three months ended March 31, 1996, an increased use of $16,816,000,
which is primarily attributable to the required payments made on the Senior
Lender Group Notes from the proceeds of CalREIT and payments made on the Line of
Credit.

Significant Changes in the Economic Environment

Changing interest rates are not expected to have a significant effect on
Peregrine's operations in 1997, as most of Peregrine's debt obligations are at
fixed interest rates. The effect on inflation on Peregrine's operations and
properties is varied. In recent years, rental rates and real estate values have
decreased which has had a material impact both on revenues and asset values;
however, in 1996 and during the first quarter of 1997, the real estate market
showed increases in both rental rates and real estate values; therefore, the
effect of inflation is not expected to have a significant effect on Peregrine's
operations in 1997.

                    SECOND AMENDMENT TO EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT


         THIS SECOND AMENDMENT TO EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (the "Second Amendment")
is made and entered into as of April 30, 1997 by and between THE PEREGRINE REAL
ESTATE TRUST ("Company") and JOSEPH M. MOCK ("Executive").


         WHEREAS, the Company and Executive are parties to an Employment
Agreement dated as of June 1, 1996, as amended as of December 1, 1996 (the
"Employment Agreement").


         WHEREAS, the parties desire to further amend the Employment Agreement
as it relates to compensation payable by the Company to Executive upon
termination of employment without cause.


         NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:

         1. Section 8.1 of the Employment Agreement is hereby amended and
restated to read in its entirety as follows:


                           "8.1 Upon Termination Without Cause. In the event of
                  termination by Company pursuant to Section 7.1 of this
                  Agreement ("Termination by Either Party Without Cause"), the
                  Executive shall be entitled to receive Salary (a) for the
                  period ending on the date which is three months after the date
                  of termination specified in the Company's termination notice,
                  provided that such date of termination occurs on or before
                  December 31, 1997, which amount shall be paid to Executive in
                  a single lump sum within ten (10) days of the date of
                  termination or (b) through the date of termination specified
                  in the Company's termination notice, if such date of
                  termination occurs after December 31, 1997. In the event of
                  termination by Executive pursuant to Section 7.1 of this
                  Agreement, Executive shall receive Salary through the
                  effective date of such termination."


         2. As amended hereby, the Employment Agreement shall remain in full
force and effect.
