      During the last five years, neither PIC nor, to the best of the

ITEM 3.      SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

On September 11, 1997, Real Estate Fund A, Real Estate Fund B and the Oaktree 
Account acquired, respectively, 225,031, 388,690 and 68,191 shares of the 
Issuer's Common Stock, along with 8.5% Senior Secured Notes and Convertible 
Preferred Stock of the Issuer. The aggregate consideration attributable to

On September 26, 1997, Real Estate Fund A, Real Estate Fund B and the Oaktree 
Account acquired, respectively, 33,755, 58,304 and 10,229 shares of the 
Issuer's Common Stock, along with 8.5% Senior Secured Notes and Convertible 
Preferred Stock of the Issuer. The aggregate consideration attributable to 
Common Stock in the transaction was $.01.

ITEM 4.    PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

The Issuer's Convertible Preferred Stock cannot convert to Common Stock of 
the Issuer within the next 60 days.

a)    Representatives of the TCW Related Entities and PIC have conferred with 
other creditors and shareholders of the Issuer, and have had discussions with 
the management and the Board of Trustees of the Issuer concerning 
alternatives available to the Issuer to enhance the value of the Issuer and 
its assets, including, among other things, the restructuring of the Issuer, 
the sale of individual assets of the Issuer, the refinancing of the Issuer's 
obligations, or the sale of the Issuer through the sale of all or 
substantially all of the assets of the Issuer to, or the merger or other 
business combination with, a third party. As a result of such discussions, on 
March 20, 1997, the TCW Related Entities decided to pursue, in cooperation 
with PIC, the replacement of a portion of the Board of Trustees of the 
Issuer, at the annual meeting of the shareholders.

<PAGE>

      On March 20, 1997, the TCW Related Entities and PIC delivered a letter 
to the counsel of the Issuer indicating that they (i) intended to nominate a 
slate of trustees at the annual meeting of shareholders of the Issuer on May 
30, 1997 consisting of Mr. Richard Masson, Mr. Bruce A. Karsh, Mr. Carson R. 
McKissick and Mr. Matthew L. Witte; (ii) had no intention and did not 
authorize the Issuer to solicit proxies in connection with their slate of 
nominees; and (iii) advised the Issuer to avoid the expense and delay of an 
election by having the current trustees resign and appoint the slate of 
trustees proposed by the TCW Related Entities and PIC appointed in the place 
of the current trustees. The trustees of the Issuer did not resign and the 
board of trustees of the Issuer recommended, in proxy materials submitted to 
the shareholders of the Issuer with respect to the annual meeting, that the 
shareholders of the Issuer elect a slate of trustees proposed by the Issuer 
rather than the slate proposed by the TCW Related Entities and PIC. At the 
annual meeting of shareholders on May 30, 1997, each of the TCW Related 
Entities and PIC voted all of their shares of common stock of the Issuer to 
elect Messrs. Masson, Karsh, McKissick and Witte and each of such individuals 
was elected as a trustee of the Issuer.

      In addition, the TCW Related Entities, PIC and the other holders of 
shares of the Issuer's Preferred Shares (the "Preferred Shares"), which 
Preferred Shares are convertible into common shares of the Issuer in 
accordance with Section 5.2 of the Issuer's Restated Declaration of Trust, 
are entitled to designate one Trustee.  On January 24, 1997, the TCW Related 
Entities and PIC exercised their rights to designate such a Trustee by 
designating Roger Snell as such Trustee.  At the annual meeting of the 
shareholders on May 30, 1997, Mr. Snell was elected as a Trustee of the 
Issuer by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Preferred 
Stock of the Issuer. Following the annual meeting of shareholders, the 
newly-elected board of trustees of the Issuer appointed Mr. Snell as the 
Registrants' new Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President. The 
Preferred Shares are not convertible as of the date hereof or within 60 days 
hereof. 

     The TCW Related Entities and PIC have entered into a letter agreement 
whereby (i) PIC intends to nominate a trustee to be elected to the board of 
trustees of the Issuer, and (ii) the TCW Related Entities have agreed to vote 
their Common Shares in favor of a trustee nominated by PIC. Although not a 
party to the letter agreement, the Oaktree Entities have indicated that they 
intend to vote their Common Shares in favor of the trustee nominated by PIC.

      The TCW Related Entities, the Oaktree Entities, and PIC intend to 
review on a continuing basis their respective investments in the Common 
Shares and may, subject to the continuing evaluation of the factors discussed 
herein, acquire from time to time additional Common Shares in the open market 
or in privately negotiated transactions.  Depending on the factors discussed 
herein, each of the TCW Related Entities, the Oaktree Entities, and PIC may, 
from time to time, retain or sell all or a portion of their respective 
holdings of the Common Shares in the open market or in privately negotiated 
transactions and such open market and privately negotiated purchases or sales 
may be made at any time without further prior notice.  Any actions that the 
TCW Related Entities, the Oaktree Entities, or PIC might undertake with 
respect to the Common Shares will be dependent upon their review of numerous 
factors, including, among other things, the availability of Common Shares for 
purchase and the price levels of such Common Shares, general market and 
economic conditions as well as those in the areas in which the Issuer's 
properties are located, ongoing evaluation of the Issuer's business, 
financial condition, properties, operations and prospects, the relative 
attractiveness of alternative business and investment opportunities, the 
actions of the management and the Board of Trustees of the Issuer, and other 
future developments.

     Each of the TCW Related Entities, the Oaktree Entities, and PIC plan to 
continue to review various alternatives available to enhance the value of the 
Issuer and its assets and engage in discussions with other creditors and 
shareholders of the Issuer regarding such alternatives. Such review and 
discussions may result in a decision by the TCW Related Entities, the Oaktree 
Entities, and/or PIC to pursue in cooperation with the Issuer and/or other 
creditors and shareholders of the Company one or more restructuring options.

     Re:  THE PEREGRINE REAL ESTATE TRUST
          -------------------------------

Ladies and Gentlemen:

    In connection with our decision to cooperate with TCW Special Credits 
Fund IV, TCW Special Credits Plus Fund, TCW Special Credits Trust IV and TCW 
Special Credits Trust IVA (the "TCW Entities") to pursue the replacement of a 
portion of the Board of Trustees of The Peregrine Real Estate Trust, a 
California real estate investment trust (the "Trust"), the TCW Entities have 
indicated to The Prudential Insurance Company of America ("PIC") their 
willingness to vote shares of the Trust held by the TCW Entities to elect a 
member of the Board of Trustees that is designated by PIC. As you know, PIC 
has not yet identified an individual to serve as PIC's nominee to the Board 
of Trustees. Your signature in the space provided below will constitute your 
agreement to use all commercially reasonable efforts to cause a member of the 
Board of Trustees of the Trust that has been designated by the TCW Entities 
to resign and to vote shares of the Trust held by you, or cause the Board of 
Trustees to take all necessary action to, elect an individual nominated by 
PIC to the Board of Trustees of the Trust promptly following receipt by the 
TCW Entities of written notice form PIC that PIC has selected its 
representative to the Board of Trustees. This Agreement shall be effective as 
to one exercise of such notice so long as such exercise occurs within the 
next three years; provided, however, that if following election of the PIC 
representative such representative shall resign from or otherwise cease to 
serve on the Trust's Board of Trustees prior to the next meeting of the 
common shareholders of the Trust at which Trustees are elected, you shall you 
use all commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Board of Trustees to 
take all necessary action to elect as the successor Trustee an individual 
nominated by PIC.

                                            Very truly yours,

                                            THE PRUDENTIAL INSURANCE
