                          Notes to Financial Statements
                                  June 30, 1998

(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, 1997 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 three and six months ended June 30,
     1998 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

            The Trust refinanced its long term debt of $5,500,000 during June
            1998. Repayments will be payable in monthly installments of $17,500
            at an interest rate of 7.75% through April 2003 with a final
            balloon payment of $4,467,500 due on that date. There have been no
            other changes in the Trust's liquidity or financial condition since
            December 31, 1997. At present, there are no large capital
            expenditures planned that would present a liquidity problem.

            Results of Operations - Six months ended June 30, 1998 compared to
            six months ended June 30, 1997.

            Income from operations for the six months ended June 30, 1998
            decreased approximately 4% or $8,000 as compared to the same period
            in 1997. Rental income remained relatively stable, while operating
            expenses increased by approximately $7,000.

            Depreciation expense decreased as a result of certain property
            becoming fully depreciated during 1997. Repairs and maintenance
            increased primarily due to painting and resurfacing parking lots
            during 1998. Interest expense increased in 1998 in relation to
            discount points paid toward the refinancing of long term debt.
