NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION

Property  Resources  Equity Trust (the  "Fund") is a  California  corporation
formed on February 20, 1985 for the purpose of investing in  income-producing
real  property.  The  offering  period  for the sale of the  Fund's  Series A
common  stock  terminated  on July 17,  1987 with  total  proceeds  raised of
$10,889,000  less  offering  costs  of  $1,505,000.  As of the  close  of the
offering,  Property  Resources  Inc.,  (the  "Advisor")  had purchased  1,000
shares of the Fund's Series B common stock for $10,000 cash.

The Fund is a real estate  investment  trust ("REIT") and elected REIT status
for  income  tax  purposes  for the tax  years  commencing  1988.  Under  the
Internal  Revenue Code and applicable  state income tax law, a qualified REIT
is not  subject  to  income  tax if at least  95% of its  taxable  income  is
currently  distributed to its  stockholders and other tests are met. The Fund
intends  to  distribute  substantially  all  of  its  taxable  income  in the
future.  Accordingly,  no  provision  is  made  for  income  taxes  in  these
financial statements.

NOTE 2- BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The  accompanying  unaudited  financial  statements  contain all  adjustments
(consisting  of  normal  recurring  accruals)  which  are  necessary,  in the
opinion of management,  for a fair  presentation.  The  statements,  which do
not include  all of the  information  and  footnotes  required  by  generally
accepted accounting principles for complete financial  statements,  should be
read in conjunction with the Fund's  financial  statements for the year ended
December 31, 1995.

NOTE 3 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Fund has entered into an  agreement  with the Advisor to  administer  the
day-to-day  operations of the Fund.  Under the terms of the agreement,  which
is  renewable  annually,  the Advisor  will  receive a fee equal to 5% of the
total amount  distributed  to the  stockholders.  The fee is not payable with
regard to distributions from the sale or refinancing of property.

At March 31, 1996,  cash  equivalents  included  $2,000  invested in Franklin
Money Fund which is an  investment  company  managed by an  affiliate  of the
Advisor.  For the three month  period  ended March 31, 1996  dividend  income
earned amounted to $1,000.

The agreements between the Fund and the Advisor,  or affiliates,  provide for
certain types of compensation  and payments  including but not limited to the
types of  compensation  and  payments  which were paid or accrued by the Fund
for those services rendered for the three month period ended March 31, 1996:

 For the three month period ended March 31, 1996,  interest  paid amounted to

 NOTE 5 - SUBSEQUENT EVENT

 On April 16, 1996,  pursuant to a contract entered into on February 26, 1996
 and amended  April 15, 1996,  the Fund sold the Agora Office  Building ( the
 `Property" ) to an unaffiliated buyer for a total sales price of $850,000.

 The total sales  price  included a $750,000  promissory  note ( the "Note" )
 payable to the Fund,  secured by the  Property and tenant  rents.  The terms
 of the  Note  include  a 7%  interest  rate,  a two year  term  and  monthly
 principal  and  interest  payments  of  approximately  $6,000.  The  Note is

INTRODUCTION

Management's  discussion  and analysis of financial  condition and results of
operations  should be read in conjunction  with the Financial  Statements and
Notes thereto.

COMPARISON OF QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 1996 TO QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 1995

Net income for the  quarter  ended March 31,  1996  amounted  to $64,000,  an
increase of $43,000 as compared to the same period in 1995.  The  increase is
due to the following  factors:  an increase in rental revenue of $19,000;  an
increase in interest and dividends of $1,000;  a decrease in interest expense
of  $12,000;  a decrease  in  operating  expenses  of $3,000;  a decrease  in
related   party   expense  of  $1,000;   and  a  decrease   in  general   and
administrative expense of $7,000.

Rental revenue for the quarter  increased  $19,000,  or 7%, as a result of an
increase   in  the  rental  and  average   occupancy   rates  at  the  Fund's
properties.  The average  occupancy rate of net rentable  square feet for the
quarter ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 at Graham Court  Business Park was 100%
and 93%; and Agora Office Building was 68% and 63%;  respectively.  Good Guys
Plaza Shopping Center remained unchanged at 94%.

Total  expenses for the quarter  decreased  $23,000,  or 9%, from $251,000 in
1995 to $228,000.  The  decrease in total  expenses  was  primarily  due to a
decrease in interest expense of $12,000,  reflecting interest rate changes on
the outstanding note payable and to a decrease in general and  administrative
expense of $7,000, as a result of a decrease in accounting expenses.

RELATED PARTY EXPENSES

The Fund has entered into an  agreement  with the Advisor to  administer  the
day-to-day  operations  of the Fund.  For the quarter  ended March 31,  1996,
the  Fund  recorded  $5,000  of  advisory  fee  expense  to  the  Advisor  in
accordance with the Advisory Agreement.

The Fund's  properties are managed by Continental  Property  Management  Co.,
("CPMC"),  an  affiliate  of the  Advisor.  For the  quarter  ended March 31,
1996, the Fund recorded $9,000 of property  management fee expense to CPMC in
accordance with the Property Management Agreement.

The Fund's Board of Directors  (including all of its  Independent  Directors)
have determined,  after review, that the compensation paid to the Advisor and
to CPMC referenced above, as well as the expense  reimbursements  made by the
Fund  to the  Advisor  reflected  in  Note 3 to  the  accompanying  financial
statements, are fair and reasonable to the Fund.

                       and Analysis of Financial Condition
                           and Results of Operations



IMPACT OF INFLATION

The Fund's  management  believes that inflation may have a positive effect on
the Fund's property  portfolio,  but this effect  generally will not be fully
realized until such  properties  are sold or exchanged.  The Fund's policy of
negotiating  leases  which  incorporate   operating  expense   "pass-through"
provisions is intended to protect the Fund against increased  operating costs
resulting from inflation.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Fund's  principal  sources of capital for the  acquisition and renovation
of property and for working  capital  reserves  have been  proceeds  from the
initial  offering  of its common  stock and from cash flow  after  payment of
distributions.

At  March  31,  1996,  cash  and  cash   equivalents   totaled  $630,000  and
investments in mortgage-backed securities totaled $194,000.

As of March 31,  1996,  one of the Fund's  properties  was subject to secured
financing with an outstanding  balance of $2,750,000.  Otherwise,  the Fund's
properties  are owned free of  indebtedness.  Interest on the note accrues at
a variable  rate which is based on a certain bond index.  The  interest  rate
is not subject to a minimum or maximum rate of  interest.  On March 31, 1996,
the interest rate was 6.00%. In certain  circumstances,  the payments due may
be  less  than  accrued  interest.   Any  resulting  accrued  interest  bears
interest  at the then  current  rate.  The  note is due in full in  December,
1996.

On April 16, 1996,  pursuant to a contract  entered into on February 26, 1996
and amended  April 15, 1996,  the Fund sold the Agora  Office  Building to an
unaffiliated buyer for a total sales price of $850,000.

The total  sales  price  included a $750,000  promissory  note ( the "Note" )
payable to the Fund,  secured by the Property and tenant rents.  The terms of
the Note include a 7% interest  rate,  a two year term and monthly  principal
and interest  payments of approximately  $6,000.  The Note is non-recourse to
the other assets of the buyer.

In the short-term and in the long-term,  management  believes that the Fund's
current  sources of capital  will  continue  to be  adequate to meet both its
operating requirements and the payment of distributions.

DISTRIBUTIONS
Distributions  are paid quarterly at the discretion of the Board of Directors
and depend on the Fund's earnings,  cash flow,  financial condition and other
relevant  factors.  During  the  quarter  ended  March  31,  1996,  the  Fund
declared and paid distributions totaling $98,000.
