                               September 30, 1997

(1)  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The accompanying unaudited financial statements, which are for interim
     periods, do not include all disclosures provided in the annual financial
     statements. These unaudited financial statements should be read in
     conjunction with the financial statements and the footnotes thereto
     contained in the Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December
     31, 1996 of Palmetto Real Estate Trust (the "Trust"), as filed with the
     Securities and Exchange Commission.

(2)  INTERIM PERIODS

     In the opinion of the Trust, the accompanying unaudited financial
     statements contain all adjustments (which are of a normal recurring nature)
     necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements. The results
     of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 are not
     necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

     Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
                Results of Operations

            Financial Condition

            There have been no changes in the Trust's liquidity or financial
            condition since December 31, 1996. At present, there are no large
            capital expenditures planned that would present a liquidity problem.

            Results of Operations - Nine months ended September 30, 1997
            compared to nine months ended September 30, 1996.

            Income from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 1997
            increased approximately 12% as compared to the same period in 1996.
            Rental income increased 8% as a result of a number of lease renewal
            options being exercised at an increased base rent.

            Depreciation and interest expense increased in 1997 as compared to
            the first nine months of 1996 in relation to the purchase of
            property during the fourth quarter of 1996. Repairs and maintenance
            increased $28,562 due primarily to glass replacement and painting on
            various properties during 1997.
