                         THE PEREGRINE REAL ESTATE TRUST
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   ----------

1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

                                  ORGANIZATION

     The Peregrine Real Estate Trust (d.b.a. WinShip Properties), ("Peregrine"
or the "Trust") was organized under the laws of the State of California pursuant
to a Restated Declaration of Trust dated October 7, 1994 (the "Effective Date").

     At September 30, 2000, Peregrine owned eight commercial properties located
primarily in the Sacramento area, four hotel properties located in northern
California, two partnership interests, and one mortgage note secured by real
property.

     On September 26, 2000 Peregrine entered into a merger agreement pursuant to
which the Peregrine Real Estate Trust will merge with and into WinShip
Properties, with WinShip Properties as the surviving trust. WinShip is an entity
that will be owned following the merger by entities managed or controlled by
Oaktree Capital Management, LLC, Trust Company of the West and Prudential
Insurance Company of America, which entities are currently the majority owners
of the Trust. Consummation of the merger is subject to receipt of all necessary
third party consents and approvals, including, without limitations, ; approval
of at least 75% of the common shares and all filings required pursuant to
applicable state and federal securities laws. The holders of at least 75% of the
common shares have previously agreed to vote to approve the merger. The merger
will result in the acquisition of the approximate 10% of the outstanding common
shares that are publicly held by minority shareholders. If the transaction is
consummated, minority shareholders will receive $0.59 per share in cash for each
common share. Pursuant to merger agreement the Senior Lender Group agreed to
convert the Senior Notes into equity of WinShip Properties following the
consummation of the merger. The merger will cause WinShip to be privately owned
company. It is anticipated that the merger will be consummated during the fourth
quarter of 2000 or the first quarter of 2001.

                           INTERIM FINANCIAL REPORTING

     The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the
United States of America (herein after referred to as generally accepted
accounting principles) for interim financial information and with the
instructions to Form 10-Q and Article of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do
not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally
accepted accounting principles for annual financial statements. In the
opinion of management, all necessary adjustments, consisting only of normal
recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The
results of operations for the nine month period ended September 30, 2000 are
not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire
fiscal year or any other interim period.

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

                           PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

     For the period ended September 30, 2000, the financial statements include
the accounts of Peregrine and its subsidiary on a consolidated basis. All
significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.

                         COMMERCIAL AND HOTEL PROPERTIES

     The Trust recognizes an impairment loss 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.

     The allowance for depreciation and amortization has been calculated under
the straight-line method based upon the estimated useful lives of the
properties, which range from 24 to 34 years. Expenditures for maintenance,
repairs and betterments, which do not materially prolong the normal useful life
of an asset, are charged to operations as incurred. Expenditures that prolong
the useful life of an asset, are capitalized and depreciated.

1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES CONTINUED

                                  OTHER ASSETS

     The Trust amortizes leasing commissions on a straight-line basis over the
lives of the leases to which they relate. Financing costs are amortized over the
lives of the loans or other financial instruments to which they relate.
Corporate furniture, fixtures, and equipment are capitalized and depreciated on
a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives.

                                  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.

                               REVENUE RECOGNITION

     The Trust recognizes rental revenues over the life of the lease. The
Trust recognizes contingent rents upon receipt. The Trust recognizes interest
income on notes receivable when it is estimated that the fair value of the
collateral related to the note is adequate.

1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES CONCLUDED


                                    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 of 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.

                            STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

     Peregrine has elected to continue to account for stock-based compensation
under the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 and adopt the
disclosure-only provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123
("SFAS 123"). Accordingly, the compensation costs of stock options are measured
using the intrinsic value method, whereby the excess, if any, of the fair
value of Peregrine's stock at the date of the grant over the amount an employee
must pay to acquire the stock represents compensation cost.

                          NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

     In June 1998, Financial Accounting Standard Board issued SFAS No.133,
ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES, as amended by SFAS
138. This statement requires balance sheet recognition of derivatives as assets
or liabilities measure at fair value. Accounting for gains and losses resulting
from changes in the value of derivatives is dependent on the use of the
derivatives and whether is qualifies for hedge account. The effective date of
this statement was deferred until fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000
with issuance of SFAS No. 137. The Trust is in the process of determining the
impact of SFAS No. 133 on the Trust's financial position and results of
operations.

                               NET LOSS PER SHARE

     The weighted-average number of Common Shares of Beneficial Interest
outstanding during the nine months ended September 30, 2000, and 1999, was
22,553,000. Common Shares of Beneficial Interest equivalents are anti-dilutive
for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, and 1999, and are not considered
in calculating net loss per Common Share of Beneficial Interest.

2. INVESTMENT IN REAL ESTATE JOINT VENTURES

     In April 2000, Peregrine and Oaktree Capital Management ("Oaktree"), which
owns 27.5 percent of the Trust's outstanding stock, formed Sacramento
Renaissance Holdings, L.L.C., ("SRH") a Delaware limited liability company.

     In April 2000, SRH purchased a 28-story office building in Sacramento,
California. Pursuant to the agreement, Oaktree contributed 100% of the
acquisition price. Peregrine did not make any capital contribution to SRH.
Peregrine is responsible for the management of the building. As part of the
agreement Peregrine will receive an asset management fee of 2.0% of gross cash
receipts for the office building. Pursuant to the agreement all income and
losses are allocated to Oaktree Capital Management.

     On December 6, 1999, Peregrine and Oaktree formed Airport Boulevard
Holdings, L.L.C., ("ABH") a Delaware limited liability company.

     In December 1999, ABH purchased a 301-room hotel in Burlingame, California.
Pursuant to the agreement, Oaktree contributed 100% of the acquisition price.
Peregrine did not make any capital contribution to ABH. Peregrine is responsible
for the management of the hotel. As part of the agreement Peregrine will receive
an asset management fee of 1.5 % to 3% of gross operating revenues of the hotel.
Pursuant to the agreement all income and losses are allocated to Oaktree Capital
Management.

3. RESTRICTED CASH

     No restricted cash was held at September 30, 2000. December 31, 1999
cash of $224,000, was restricted. The funds represent a portion of an
Indemnity Trust Fund that was established to fund possible indemnification
obligations with respect to Peregrine's former Trustees and officers. The
Indemnity Trust Fund, which is managed by an independent third-party trustee,
was restricted as to use for a period of three years ending May 29, 2000, as
defined in the Indemnity Trust Agreement. As of September 30, 2000, the funds
which were managed by an independent third-party trustee were transferred to
the Trust pursuant to the terms of the indemnity trust agreement.

4. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

                              CAPITAL EXPENDITURES

     At September 30, 2000, Peregrine expects that the expenditures necessary to
complete refurbishments for the Concord hotel will total approximately
$1,584,000. Such refurbishments are required by Holiday Inn for a franchise
license to be granted for the hotel.

                          FINANCIAL STATUS OF PEREGRINE

     At September 30, 2000, 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 note. Peregrine is exploring various debt and equity financing
alternatives to repay the balance on the Senior Notes, which was due October 1,
2000. Also, borrowings under the Line of Credit are available to fund capital
improvements to certain properties and improvements securing the Line of Credit
and meet costs incurred in the ordinary course of business in connection with
Peregrine's acquisition of income-producing commercial properties.

     Peregrine has a non-recourse long-term mortgage note, which is secured
by a retail shopping center located at 7143 Greenback Lane in Sacramento,
California, which continued to be vacant during the first two quarters of
2000, despite efforts to lease the property. The note requires a monthly debt
service payment (including tax impounds) of approximately $85,000. Due to
negative cash flow resulting from the required debt service payments,
Peregrine ceased making payments on the mortgage note as of August 2000. In
August 2000, Peregrine was notified that the lender had initiated judicial
foreclosure proceedings on the property securing the note. The amount of the
secured mortgage note is $8,477,000; estimated loss on foreclosure is $50,000.

5. GAIN (LOSS) ON SALE OF INVESTMENTS

     On June 30, 2000, Peregrine sold a restaurant building located at 6245
Sunrise Boulevard, Sacramento, California, to the Patterson Family Trust for a
gross sales price of $1,350,000, resulting in a loss of $112,000.

6. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

     For the nine months ended September 30, 2000 the Trust has no related party
transactions. For the nine months ended September 30, 1999, Peregrine utilized
the services of one of its trustees, Michael Joseph (E.S. Merriman) to assist in
negotiating the terms of Peregrine's Line of Credit, and paid $275,000 for such
services.

7. STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION

     Cash paid for interest during the nine-month periods ended September 30,
2000 and 1999, was $4,677,000 and $4,536,000, respectively.

8. LINES OF CREDIT

     On March 10, 1999, Peregrine entered into a loan and security agreement
with Fremont Investment & Loan ("Fremont") to provide for up to $44,000,000
in borrowing capacity under a revolving line of credit (the "Line of
Credit"). The maximum amount that may be borrowed under the Line of Credit is
based upon the appraised value of certain parcels of real estate owned by
Peregrine. The commitments made under the Line of Credit expire on April 1,
2001, but may be extended until April 2, 2003 with Fremont's consent. The
Line of Credit is secured by a first lien on certain Peregrine properties. In
connection with the execution of the Line of Credit, the Trust entered into a
Fifth Amendment to Second Amended and Restated Note Agreement (the "Fifth
Amendment") with the Senior Lender Group to permit the Trust to enter into
the Line of Credit, to release collateral that had previously secured the
Trust's obligations under the Trust's outstanding Senior Notes and to allow
interest on the outstanding Senior Notes to be paid-in-kind rather than in
cash, if the Trust does not achieve positive net cash flow in three
consecutive months.

     Under the terms of the Fifth Amendment and the Line of Credit, the Senior
Notes held by the Senior Lender Group are now unsecured. Principal amounts
borrowed under the Line of Credit bear interest at 8.6% for the first six
months, then at a range from the six-month LIBOR plus 350 basis points to LIBOR
plus 400 basis points. The average interest rate that was charged during the
nine months ended September 30, 2000 was 9.9% percent.

                                   ----------

8. LINES OF CREDIT CONCLUDED

     The remaining borrowing capacity under the Line of Credit is available to
Peregrine only for i) capital improvements to certain properties and
improvements securing the Line of Credit, ii) costs incurred in the ordinary
course of business in connection with the Peregrine's acquisition of
income-producing commercial properties for its own account, or iii) certain
payments to Peregrine's public common shareholders. Borrowings under the Line of
Credit may not be applied for general corporate or working capital purposes. The
Line of Credit prohibits the Trust from incurring debt other than specified
mortgage indebtedness and permitted refinancing indebtedness and restricts the
ability of the Trust to incur liens, distribute assets, and make payments on
Senior debt, and contains certain requirements as to compliance with laws by the
Trust, inspection of properties by the lender, leasing of space, environmental
matters, insurance, notices and information required to be given to Fremont
under the Line of Credit, such as information related to asbestos operations
maintenance, lead-based paint and hotel renovations.

9. SENIOR NOTES PAYABLE

     In accordance with the Plan of Reorganization, restructured notes
payable in the face amount of $40,000,000, with interest at 8.5% per annum,
were issued to the Senior Lender Group in partial satisfaction of the
$80,000,000 obligation owed to them.

     Interest was payable in-kind through September 30, 1996, by means of
interest deferral notes issued quarterly. Since September 30, 1996, interest has
been payable monthly in cash (8.5%), with the first payment commencing November
1, 1996. However, the terms of the Senior Notes were amended as of June 1, 2000,
so Peregrine was not require to pay interest in cash. Peregrine has not made any
interest payments on the Senior Notes since June 1, 2000, and unpaid interest is
included in accrued liabilities.

     The Senior Notes are unsecured and are subordinate to the Line of Credit.
No principal payments may be paid to the Senior Lender Group except from
proceeds related to the sales of Peregrine properties. In the event of default
under the terms of the Line of Credit there are no payments allowed to the
Senior Lender Group. 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.

     In addition, on June 1, 2000 the Trust entered into a Sixth Amendment to
the Second Amended and Restated Note Agreement (the "Sixth Amendment') with the
Senior Lender Group to allow interest on the outstanding Senior Notes to be
paid-in-kind rather that in cash at any time at the option of the Trust.

     The balance as of September 30, 2000 of $16,074,000 was due on October 1,
2000 to the Senior Lenders. Currently Peregrine is discussing with the Senior
Lenders various debt and equity financing alternatives to repay the balance on
the Senior Notes.

     On September 26, 2000 Peregrine entered into a merger agreement with
WinShip Properties an entity owned by certain member of the Senior Lender Group.
Pursuant to merger agreement the Senior Lender Group agreed to convert the
Senior Notes into equity of WinShip Properties following the consummation of the
merger.

10. OPERATING SEGMENTS

     Peregrine's reportable segments consist of strategic real estate groups
that consist of different types of properties. The groups are managed separately
because each group requires different management and marketing strategies.

Item 2:  Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
         of Operations

     The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. Historical
results set forth are not necessarily indicative of the future financial
position and results of operations of Peregrine.

     In addition to historical information, this Form 10-Q contains
forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities
Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, such as
those pertaining to Peregrine's ability to fund its operations or otherwise
satisfy capital requirements, both in the short and long term; to undertake
property repairs, maintenance, improvements, refurbishment, or other capital
expenditures; and to negotiate satisfactory terms with creditors, licensors,
franchisors, or others. Forward-looking statements involve numerous risks and
uncertainties. The following factors, among others discussed herein, could cause
results and future events to differ materially from those set forth or
contemplated in the forward-looking statements: increased interest rates and
operating costs, deteriorating market conditions affecting occupancy or lease
rates, loss of licenses or franchises, difficulties in finding buyers for
property dispositions, environmental uncertainties, risks related to natural
disasters, financial market fluctuations, changes in real estate laws, real
property taxes, and governmental regulation, as well as general economic trends
and the factors discussed elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. Readers are cautioned not
to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which reflect
management's analysis only as of the date hereof. Peregrine assumes no
obligation to update forward-looking statements. Readers should refer to
Peregrine's reports to be filed from time to time with the Securities and
Exchange Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act.

OVERVIEW

     During the third quarter of 2000, Peregrine owned and operated a
portfolio of investments that included real property and two partnership
interests. In the first nine months of 2000, the Trust's management continued
its efforts to improve property operations while simultaneously exploring
alternative operating strategies and exploring alternatives to restructure
its debt obligation. The immediate priority continued to be to meet
Peregrine's debt obligations. To achieve this objective, emphasis remained on
maximizing the income stream from the commercial and hotel properties,
reducing operating expenses, and the select disposition of select real estate
assets with negative cash flow and/or which require significant capital
expenditures beyond the resources available to Peregrine.

     Peregrine has approved a merger of the Peregrine Real Estate Trust with and
into WinShip Properties, with WinShip Properties as the surviving trust. WinShip
is an entity that will be owned following the merger by entities managed or
controlled by Oaktree Capital Management, LLC, Trust Company of the West and
Prudential Insurance Company of America, which entities are currently the
majority owners of the Trust. Consummation of the merger is subject to third
party consents; approval of at least 75% of the common shares and completion of
the appropriate filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The holders
of at least 75% of the common shares have previously agreed to vote to approve
the merger. The merger will result in the acquisition of


                                       12

<PAGE>


the approximate 10% of the outstanding common shares that are publicly held by
minority shareholders. If the transaction is consummated, minority shareholders
will receive $0.59 per share in cash for each common share. The merger will
cause WinShip to be privately owned company. It is anticipated that the merger
will be consummated during the fourth quarter of 2000.

COMPARISON OF THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 TO THE THREE
AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999

REVENUES

     Total revenues were $20,112,000 during the nine months ended September 30,
2000, an increase of $2,164,000, or 12%, from revenues of $17,948,000 for the
nine months ended September 30, 1999. Total revenues were $6,648,000 during the
three months ended September 30, 2000, compared to $6,402,000 for the three
months ended September 30, 1999, an increase of $246,000 or 4%.

     HOTEL PROPERTY REVENUES. Hotel revenues were $14,535,000 during the nine
months ended September 30, 2000, an increase of $3,017,000, or 26%, from
revenues of $11,518,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. Hotel
revenues were $5,133,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2000,
compared to $4,297,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1999, an
increase of $836,000 or 19%. The increases are primarily attributable to
improved occupancy and average daily rates at the hotels.

     COMMERCIAL PROPERTY REVENUES. Commercial property revenues were $5,109,000
during the nine months ended September 30, 2000, a decrease of $1,244,000, or
20%, from revenues of $6,353,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999.
Commercial property revenues were $1,296,000 during the three months ended
September 30, 2000, compared to $2,078,000 for the three months ended September
30, 1999, a decrease of $782,000 or 38%. The decrease is primarily attributable
to revenue lost as a result of the sales of the One Sunrise and the 16th & K
office buildings in March 2000 and June 2000 respectively, and a restaurant
building in June 2000.

     INTEREST REVENUE. Interest revenue was $97,000 during the nine months ended
September 30, 2000, an increase of $37,000, or 62%, from revenues of $60,000 for
the nine months ended September 30, 1999. Interest revenue was $42,000 during
the three months ended September 30, 2000, compared to $22,000 for the three
months ended September 30, 1999, an increase of $20,000 or 91%. The increase for
the nine and three months ended September 30, 2000 is primarily due to an
increase of certain cash balances.

TOTAL EXPENSES

     Total expenses were $22,954,000 during the nine months ended September 30,
2000, an increase of $1,064,000, or 5%, from expenses of $21,890,000 for the
nine months ended September 30, 1999. Total expenses were $7,300,000 during the
three months ended September 30, 2000, compared to $7,701,000 for the three
months ended September 30, 1999, a decrease of $401,000 or 5%.

<PAGE>

     HOTEL PROPERTY OPERATING EXPENSES. Hotel property operating expenses were
$10,378,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2000; an increase of
$1,027,000, or 11%, from expenses of $9,351,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999. Hotel property operating expenses were $3,269,000 during the
three months ended September 30, 2000, compared to $3,480,000 for the three
months ended September 30, 1999, a decrease of $211,000 or 6%. The increase for
the nine months ending September 30, 2000 are attributable to the increased
hotel personnel and other core expenses related to the increased revenues of the
hotels. The decrease for the three months ended is attributable to lower costs
for the food and beverage department at the Holiday Inn Chico, which was leased
to a third party purveyor starting in third quarter of 2000.

     COMMERCIAL PROPERTY OPERATING EXPENSES. Commercial property operating
expenses were $1,582,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2000; a
decrease of $450,000, or 22%, from expenses of $2,032,000 for the nine months
ended September 30, 1999. Commercial property operating expenses were $502,000
during the three months ended September 30, 2000, compared to $704,000 for the
three months ended September 30, 1999, a decrease of $202,000 or 29%. The
decreases are primarily result of the sales of the One Sunrise and the 16th & K
office buildings in March 2000 and June 2000 respectively, and a restaurant
building in June 2000.

     COMMERCIAL PROPERTY MANAGEMENT FEES. Commercial property management fees
were $0 during the nine months ended September 30, 2000; a decrease of $19,000,
or 100%, from expenses of $19,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999.
Commercial property operating management fees were $0 during the three months
ended September 30, 2000, compared to $12,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 1999, a decrease of $12,000 or 100%. The decreases are primarily
result of the sale of the Downtown Mini-Storage facility in December 1999.

     DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION EXPENSE. Depreciation and amortization
expense was $3,176,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2000; a
decrease of $126,000, or 4%, from expenses of $3,302,000 for the nine months
ended September 30, 1999. Depreciation and amortization expense were
$1,059,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2000, compared to
$1,102,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1999, a decrease of
$43,000 or 4%. The increase is primarily attributable to the sales of
commercial property, which was slightly offset by capital improvements for
the hotels for three months ended September 30, 2000.

     INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense was $4,858,000 during the nine months
ended September 30, 2000; an increase of $132,000, or 3%, from expenses of
$4,726,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. Interest expense was
$1,450,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2000, compared to
$1,657,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1999, a decrease of $207,000
or 12%. The increase for the nine months is primarily attributable to higher
average balances outstanding under the Line of Credit.


                                       14

<PAGE>

     GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. General and administrative expenses
were $2,960,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2000; an increase of
$500,000, or 20%, from expenses of $2,460,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999. General and administrative expenses were $1,020,000 during
the three months ended September 30, 2000, compared to $746,000 for the three
months ended September 30, 1999, an increase of $274,000 or 37%. The increases
are primarily attributable to an increase in wages and benefits resulting from
increased staff and the costs related to the purchase and installation of
computer software, partially offset by a decrease in consulting costs and legal
fees.

GAIN (LOSS) ON SALE OF INVESTMENTS

     On June 30, 2000, Peregrine sold a restaurant building located at 6245
Sunrise Boulevard, Sacramento, California, to the Patterson Family Trust for a

     On February 23, 2000, Peregrine sold an office building located at 2893
Sunrise Boulevard, California, to the Blumefeld Properties, L.L.C. for a gross
sales price of $2,850,000, resulting in a gain of $1,196,000.

DIVIDENDS

     Peregrine made no cash distributions during the three or nine months ended
September 30, 2000 and September 30, 1999. In addition, Peregrine is
substantially restricted from and does not anticipate making any cash
distributions to shareholders in the foreseeable future.

OCCUPANCY

     HOTEL AND COMMERCIAL PROPERTY OCCUPANCY. At September 30, 2000 and
September 30, 1999, overall weighted average occupancy levels for the Trust's
properties were as follows:

</TABLE>

     The overall weighted average occupancy level is calculated by multiplying
the occupancy by square footage (or rooms available) and dividing the total by
the total square footage (or rooms available) in the portfolio. The hotel rooms
available do not reflect rooms which were temporarily not available due to the
remodeling of the Sacramento and Concord hotel properties.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Trust's unrestricted cash totaled $2,099,000 on September 30, 2000,
an increase of $813,000, from $1,286,000 on at December 31, 1999. During the
nine months ended September 30, 2000, Peregrine's principal source of funds
was from proceeds related to the sales of investments. On September 30, 2000,
$3,936,000 remained available through the Line of Credit; however, pursuant
to the Line of Credit Agreement, Peregrine is subject to certain restrictions
and limitations on borrowing. The remaining borrowing capacity under the Line
of Credit is available to Peregrine only for i) capital improvements to
certain properties and improvements securing the Line of Credit, ii) costs
incurred in the ordinary course of business in connection with Peregrine's
acquisition of income-producing commercial properties, or iii) certain
payments to Peregrine's public common shareholders. Borrowings under the Line
of Credit may not be applied for general corporate or working capital
purposes.

     At March 10, 1999, Peregrine terminated its line of Credit with Fleet
Capital Line of Credit ("Old Line of Credit") with a new line of credit
pursuant to a loan and security agreement with Fremont Investment & Loan
("Fremont") provide up to $44,000,000, in borrowing capacity under a
revolving line of credit ("New Line of Credit"). The maximum amount that may
be borrowed under the Line of Credit is based upon the appraised value of
certain parcels of real estate owned by Peregrine. As of September 30, 2000,
the current borrowing capacity for the Line of Credit is $36,219,000. The
maximum borrowing on the Line of Credit has been reduced due to the sale of
certain collateralized properties.

                                       16

<PAGE>

     The commitments made under the Line of Credit expire on April 1, 2001,
but may be extended until April 2, 2003 with Fremont's consent. The Line of
Credit is secured by a first lien on certain Peregrine properties. In
connection with the execution of the Line of Credit, the Trust entered into a
Fifth Amendment to Second Amended and Restated Note Agreement (the "Fifth
Amendment") with the Senior Lender Group to permit the Trust to enter into
the Line of Credit, to release collateral that had previously secured the
Trust's obligations under the Trust's outstanding Senior Notes and to allow
interest on the outstanding Senior Notes to be paid-in-kind rather than in
cash if the Trust does not achieve positive net cash flow in specified
periods. Under the terms of the Fifth Amendment and the Line of Credit, the
Senior Notes held by the Senior Lender Group are now unsecured. Principal
amounts borrowed under the Line of Credit bear interest ranging from the
six-month LIBOR plus 350 basis points to LIBOR plus 400 basis points.

     The Line of Credit prohibits the Trust from incurring debt other than
specified mortgage s and permitted refinancing, indebtedness and restricts
the ability of the Trust to incur liens, distribute assets, and make payments
on Senior debt. The Line of Credit also contains certain requirements as to
the compliance with laws by the Trust, inspection of properties by Fremont,
leasing of space, environmental matters, insurance, notices and information
required to be given to Fremont under the Line of Credit, asbestos operations
and maintenance, lead-based paint and hotel renovations.

     Debt service paid on Peregrine's first mortgage notes totaled $1,810,000
during the nine months ended September 30, 2000. Total debt service
requirements on first mortgage notes in 2000 are approximately $2,646,000.
Interest paid on the Senior Lender Group Notes during the nine months ended
September 30, 2000 totaled $573,000. Interest on the Senior Lender Group
Notes is required to be paid in cash on a monthly basis, with aggregate
interest payable during 2000 currently estimated at $1,366,000, based on
$16,074,000 principal outstanding. However, Peregrine has not made cash
payments for interest on the Senior Notes since June 1, 2000.

     At September 30, 2000, Peregrine's short and long-term cash commitments
include approximately $1,584,000, to complete the refurbishment at the
Concord hotel, which is required by Holiday Inn for the franchise license to
be granted to the hotel. The Senior Notes were due October 1, 2000. In
addition, the Line of Credit matures in April 2001, unless the maturity of
the Senior Notes is extended. On September 26, 2000 Peregrine entered into a
merger agreement with WinShip Properties an entity owned by certain member of
the Senior Lender Group. Pursuant to merger agreement the Senior Lender Group
agreed to convert the Senior Notes into equity of WinShip Properties
following the consummation of the merger.

     Based upon proceeds from sales of real estate investments 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. Peregrine
is exploring Peregrine's various transactions designed to reduce the costs
incurred with Peregrine large shareholder base. Also, borrowings under the
Line of Credit are available to fund capital improvements to certain
properties and improvements securing the Line of Credit and meet costs
incurred in the ordinary course of business in connection with Peregrine's
acquisition of income-producing commercial properties.

     Peregrine experienced a net increase in unrestricted cash of $813,000 for
the nine months ended September 30, 2000 as compared to a net increase in
unrestricted cash of $1,062,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2000, net cash provided by operating
activities was $15,000, compared to $160,000 in; the nine months ended September
30, 1999. Net cash provided by investing activities during the nine months ended
September 30, 2000 was $3,426,000 compared to $2,617,000 for the nine month
period ended September 30,1999. The increase of $809,000 is primarily
attributable to a decrease in improvements to commercial and hotel properties,
offset by a decrease in the proceeds on the sale of investments in 2000 as to
compare to 1999. Net cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended
September 30, 2000 was $2,628,000 compared to $1,715,000 for the nine months
ended September 30, 1999. The decrease in net cash used in financing activities
of $913,000 was primarily due to a decrease in payments on the Senior Notes,
offset by repayments on the Line of Credit and a reduction of restricted cash.

SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT

     Peregrine is exposed to market risk related to interest rate changes on its
variable rate debt. During the first three quarters 2000, both rental rates and
real estate values increased; therefore, the effect of inflation is not expected
to have a significant effect on Peregrine's operations in 2000.
