                                 MARCH 31, 1997


NOTE 1- BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying  financial  statements of Property  Resources Equity Trust (the
"Fund") have been  prepared in accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting
principles applicable to interim financial information and pursuant to the rules
and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Accordingly, certain
information and footnote  disclosures  normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with generally accepted  accounting  principles have been
condensed or omitted  pursuant to such rules and  regulations.  However,  in the
opinion of management,  all  adjustments,  consisting  only of normal  recurring
adjustments,  necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  The Company
presumes  that users of the interim  financial  information  herein have read or
have access to the audited  financial  statements for the preceding  fiscal year
and that the adequacy of additional  disclosure  needed for a fair  presentation
may be determined in that context. Accordingly,  footnote disclosure which would
substantially  duplicate  the  disclosure  contained  in the Fund's  1996 Annual
Report on Form 10-K has been omitted

NOTE 2 - NOTE PAYABLE

On March 3,  1997,  the  note  payable  collateralized  by the Good  Guys  Plaza
Shopping Center was repaid from the proceeds of a new note payable. The new note
payable,  which is also  collateralized  by the  property  and  matures in 2022,
requires monthly payments of principal and interest at 8.8% until 2007, at which
time the interest rate  increases to at least 13.8% under an adjustment  formula
defined in the note agreement.

On  March  4,  1997,  the  Fund  sold  the  Graham  Court  Business  Park  to an
unaffiliated  buyer for a total sales price of $2,200,000  resulting in net cash

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 three month periods ended March 31, 1997 and 1996

Total revenue for the three month period ended March 31, 1997 increased $284,000
or 97%, from $292,000 in 1996 to $576,000 in 1997. The increase in total revenue
was primarily due to gain on sale of rental  property as a result of the sale of
the Graham Court Office  Building.  Rental revenue at the remaining  property of
the Fund decreased $6,000 compared to the same period in 1996 as a result of the
refund of the  prior  year  property  taxes,  insurance  and  operating  expense
reimbursements.  For the three month period ended March 31, 1997 interest income
increased  $14,000  compared  to the same period in 1996 as a result of the note
receivable relating to the sale of the Agora Office Building.

Total  expenses  for the three  month  period  ended  March 31,  1997  decreased
$28,000,  or 12%,  from  $228,000 in 1996 to $200,000 in 1997.  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.  The  decrease was offset by increases in interest
and accounting expenses.

Net income for the three month period ended March 31, 1997 increased $312,000 as
compared to the same period in 1996.  The  increase in net income was  primarily
due to the gain  recognized on sale of rental  property of $370,000 and interest
income earned on the note  receivable of $14,000  partially  offset by a $70,000
decrease in net income  (decrease  in  operating  expenses of $39,000 and rental
revenue  of  $109,000)  primarily  resulting  from the sale of the Agora  Office
Building in April 1996 and Graham Court Business Park, in March 1997.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At March 31, 1997, cash and cash equivalents  totaled $2,885,000 and investments
in mortgage-backed securities totaled $171,000.

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.

On March 3,  1997,  the  note  payable  collateralized  by the Good  Guys  Plaza
Shopping Center was repaid from the proceeds of a new note payable. The new note
payable,  which is also  collateralized  by the  property  and  matures in 2022,
requires monthly payments of principal and interest at 8.8% until 2007, at which
time the interest rate  increases to at least 13.8% under an adjustment  formula
defined in the note agreement.

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 policy of  negotiating  leases which  incorporate  operating  expense
"pass-through"  provisions  is intended to protect  the Fund  against  increased
operating costs resulting from inflation.

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

Liquidity and Capital Resources (Continued)


Cash Distribution Policy
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  three-month   period  ended  March  31,  1997,  the  Fund  declared
distributions totaling $98,000.
