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 September 30, 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 nine month period ended September 30, 1996 dividend income
earned amounted to $5,000.

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 nine month period ended September 30, 1996:

Management advisory fees,
 charged to related party expense                            $15,000

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

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.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

COMPARISON OF THE NINE MONTH PERIODS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 AND 1995

Net income for the nine month period ended September 30, 1996 increased
$209,000, or 151%, as compared to the same period in 1995. The increase in net
income was primarily due to interest income earned on the note receivable of
$20,000, gain on sale of rental property of $88,000 and a decrease in operating
expenses of $101,000 primarily as a result of the sale of the Agora Office
Building in April 1996 and to a refund of prior year property taxes at the Good
Guys Plaza.

Total revenue for the nine month period ended September 30, 1996 increased
$109,000 or 13%, from $837,000 in 1995 to $946,000 in 1996. The increase in
total revenue was primarily due to gain on sale of rental property as a result
of the sale of the Agora Office Building. Rental revenue at the remaining two
properties of the Fund increased $57,000 compared to the same period in 1995 but
was offset by a decrease in rental revenue earned of $59,000 due to the sale of
the Agora Office Building. For the nine month period ended September 30, 1996
interest income increased $20,000 compared to the same period in 1995 as a
result of the note receivable that was taken back at the time of the sale of the
Agora Office Building.

Total expenses for the nine month period ended September 30, 1996 decreased
$100,000, or 14%, from $699,000 in 1995 to $599,000 in 1996. The decrease in
total expenses was primarily due to a decrease in operating expenses as a result
of the sale of the Agora Office Building and to a refund of prior year property
taxes at the Good Guys Plaza.

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 nine month period ended September 30,
1996, the Fund recorded $15,000 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 nine month period ended September
30, 1996, the Fund recorded $27,000 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.

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 September 30, 1996, cash and cash equivalents totaled $768,000 and
investments in mortgage-backed securities totaled $190,000.


                                          PROPERTY RESOURCES EQUITY TRUST


ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (CONTINUED)

As of September 30, 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 September 30, 1996, the
interest rate was 6.88%. 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. Management is currently
negotiating the terms of a new loan from an unaffiliated lender to finance the
payoff of the current loan.

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.

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.

DISTRIBUTIONS
Distributions are declared quarterly at the discretion of the Board of
Directors. The Fund's present distribution policy is to at least annually
evaluate the current distribution rate in light of anticipated tenant turnover
over the next two or three years, the estimated level of associated improvements
and leasing commissions, planned capital expenditures, any debt service
requirements and the Fund's other working capital requirements. After balancing
these considerations, and considering the Fund's earnings and cash flow, the
level of its liquid reserves and other relevant factors, the Fund seeks to
establish a distribution rate which:

     i)   provides a stable distribution which is sustainable despite short term
          fluctuations in property cash flows;
     ii)  maximizes the amount of cash flow paid out as distributions consistent
          with the above listed objective; and
     iii) complies with the Internal Revenue Code requirement that a REIT
          annually pay out as distributions not less than 95% of its taxable
          income.

During the nine-month period ended September 30, 1996, the Fund declared
distributions totaling $294,000.
