               PRUDENTIAL-BACHE/EQUITEC REAL ESTATE PARTNERSHIP,
                        A California Limited Partnership
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 MARCH 31, 1998
                                  (Unaudited)
 
A. General
 
   These financial statements have been prepared without audit. In the opinion
of Prudential-Bache Properties, Inc. ('PBP') and Glenborough Corporation and
Robert Batinovich (together, 'Glenborough') (collectively, the 'General
Partners'), the financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only
normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position
of Prudential-Bache/Equitec Real Estate Partnership, A California Limited
Partnership (the 'Partnership') as of March 31, 1998, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and
1997. However, the operating results for the interim periods may not be
indicative of the results expected for the full year.
 
   Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been omitted. It is suggested that these financial statements be
read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in
the Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission ('SEC') for the year ended December 31, 1997.
 
   The Partnership was formed on June 19, 1984 and will terminate on December
31, 2009 unless ended sooner under the provisions of the Amended and Restated
Limited Partnership Agreement (the 'Partnership Agreement'). The Partnership was
formed for the purpose of purchasing, holding, operating, leasing and selling
various real properties. At March 31, 1998, the Partnership owned five
properties.
 
   In April 1998, the Partnership entered into a purchase agreement, as amended
(the 'Purchase Agreement') with Glenborough Realty Trust Incorporated and a
subsidiary partnership, Glenborough Properties, L.P. , (together, the
'Purchaser'), which are affiliates of Glenborough. Pursuant to the Purchase
Agreement, the Partnership intends to sell to the Purchaser (the 'Sale') all of
the Properties of the Partnership for cash. The Purchase Agreement provides for
a purchase price equal to $47,145,000. This price will be reduced by certain
credits to the Purchaser, which, in addition to any credits for secured
obligations which are assumed by the Purchaser, approximates $690,000 as of
March 31, 1998, if certain items of deferred maintenance at the Properties are
not completed prior to the closing of the Sale. On May 4, 1998, the Partnership
filed a revised consent solicitation statement with the SEC describing the Sale.
If the Sale and plan of liquidation are approved by the Unitholders, the
Partnership intends to consummate the Sale, distribute the net proceeds and the
remaining net assets of the Partnership and liquidate the Partnership. The Sale
is required to be consummated not later than July 31, 1998.
 
   Certain expenses relating to lease commissions, lease concessions and loan
fees have been deferred, although previously paid, and are amortized over the
terms of the respective leases or loans. At the closing of the Sale, the
remaining amount of these deferred items would be expensed. As of March 31,
1998, the amount of such deferred items approximates $950,000.

   The Partnership maintains an account with the Prudential Institutional
Liquidity Portfolio Fund, an affiliate of PBP, for investment of its available
cash in short-term instruments pursuant to the guidelines established by the

                        A California Limited Partnership
      ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                           AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
   The Partnership generated cash from operations of $595,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 1998. During the three months ended March 31, 1998, the
Partnership incurred $135,000 for building and tenant improvements, primarily at
the Poplar Towers and Park Plaza properties. In order to keep the properties
competitive, building and tenant improvements will continue to be required.
 
   The Partnership had cash of $1,548,000 at March 31, 1998. PBP is not being
reimbursed for its general and administrative expenses (other than printing) on
a current basis. At March 31, 1998, the total liability outstanding (including
printing) was $744,000. Cash on hand plus any cash generated from operations may
not be sufficient to fund building and tenant improvements and to pay deferred
general and administrative expenses.
 
   In December 1996, the Partnership consolidated and refinanced all of the
existing notes on the five properties. The new note in the amount of $26,650,000
is secured by all of the properties and matured in December 1997.The lender has
agreed to several extensions of the note, mostly recently to extend the note to
July 31, 1998.
 
   The Partnership has entered into a Purchase Agreement to sell all of its
Properties for cash. (See Note A to the Consolidated Financial Statements). It
is unlikely that investors will be returned a significant portion of their
original investment upon the sale of the Properties and ultimate dissolution of
the Partnership.
 
Results of Operations
 
   The Partnership's net loss decreased by $68,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 1998 as compared to the corresponding period in 1997 for the reasons
discussed below.
 
   Property operating revenues increased by $186,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 1998 as compared to the corresponding period in 1997 primarily due to
increases in the Montrose and Park Plaza properties. The increase in operating
revenues was primarily the result of increased occupancies at these two
properties.
 
   Property operating expenses decreased by $49,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 1998 as compared to the corresponding period in 1997 due primarily to
decreases in property taxes and general repairs and maintenance at the Poplar
Tower property.
 
   Depreciation and amortization decreased by $23,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 1998 as compared to the corresponding period in 1997 due to
fully-amortized loan fees during 1997.
 
   General and administrative expenses increased $181,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 1998 as compared to the same period in 1997 due primarily to
professional fees incurred in connection with the Partnership preparing the
consent solicitation statement to the Unitholders.
