PALMETTO REAL ESTATE TRUST
Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2000

(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, 1999 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, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

(3)     Deferred Revenue

During the quarter ended June 30, 2000, the Trust recognized the remainder of the installment sale gain of $137,933 in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards 66, Accounting for Sales of Real Estate. Principal payments received through June 30, 2000 equal 25% of the sales value, which meets the requirement for the full accrual method of recognizing profit from real estate sales. Therefore, the Trust changed to the full accrual method and recognized the remaining profit in income. The recognition of this gain increased basic earnings per share of beneficial interest $.08 per share but has no tax effect for the Trust.

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

Financial Condition

There have been no significant changes in the Trust's liquidity or financial condition since December 31, 1999 other than debt payments and dividend payments. At present, there are no large capital expenditures planned that would present a liquidity problem.

Results of Operations - Six months ended June 30, 2000 compared to six months ended June 30, 1999.

Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2000 increased approximately 60% as compared to the same period in 1999. Rental income increased due to higher rental rates and the acquisition of new rental property in the fourth quarter of 1999.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2000, the Trust recognized the remainder of the installment sale gain of $137,933 in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards 66, Accounting for Sales of Real Estate. Principal payments received through June 30, 2000 equal 25% of the sales value, which meets the requirement for the full accrual method of recognizing profit from real estate sales. Therefore, the Trust changed to the full accrual method and recognized the remaining profit in income. The recognition of this gain increased basic earnings per share of beneficial interest $.08 per share but has no tax effect for the Trust.

Expenses related to real estate held for rental increased during the second quarter of 2000 compared to the second quarter of 1999 as a result of acquiring new property during the fourth quarter of 1999. General and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2000 decreased due to a reduction in bad debts during the quarter ended June 30, 2000.
