                        NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                              SEPTEMBER 30, 1998

NOTE 1- BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of Property Resources
Equity Trust (the "Fund") have been prepared in accordance with the
instructions to Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission.  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.  In the opinion of management, all
appropriate adjustments necessary to a fair presentation of the results of
operations have been made for the periods shown.  All adjustments are of a
normal recurring nature.  Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified
to conform to current year presentations.

These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which
contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in
the normal course of business. Management have decided to sell the Fund's
remaining property, Good Guys Shopping Center, and liquidate the Fund. A form
8-K statement announcing this intention was filed on April 22 1998. No sale
of the remaining Property had occurred at September 30, 1998, however
management is currently actively seeking a buyer of the Property (see Note 5
below). Accordingly it is possible that the Fund will not continue as a going
concern for a reasonable period of time.

The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the
recoverability and classification of liabilities that might be necessary if
the Fund will not continue as a going concern. Management believes that the
market value of the Partnership's remaining property is at least equal to its
book value. Accordingly management does not expect any material losses to be
undertaken in the event of the liquidation of the Fund. However, there can be
no assurance that the eventual sales price of the property will not result in
a loss or that a sale will be consummated.

These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Fund's
audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1997.

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.

NOTE 3 - SALE OF RENTAL PROPERTY

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 proceeds to the Fund of $2,093,000.  In connection with the sale, the
Fund recognized a gain of $370,000.


NOTE 4 - SUPPLEMENTAL DISCLOSURE OF CASH FLOW INFORMATION

For the nine-month period ended September 30, 1998, interest paid amounted to
$188,276.

NOTE 5 - SUBSEQUENT EVENT: SALE OF PROPERTY

On October 21, 1998, pursuant to a contract entered into on July 10, 1998,
Management entered sold Good Guys Plaza Shopping Center to an unaffiliated
third party for a cash sales price of $5,108,000.   A gain on sale of
approximately $192,000 was recorded on the sale.

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 AND NINE-MONTH PERIODS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 AND
1997

Total revenue for the three and nine-month period ended September 30, 1998
decreased $4,000, or 2%, and $65,000, or 10%, respectively, when compared to
the same periods in 1997. The decrease in dividend and interest income was
attributable to lower average investment balances in the current periods.
Rental income decreased during the nine- month period because of the sale of
Graham Court in March 1997 and also a tenant reimbursement made in 1997 was
not repeated in the second quarter of 1998. Rental income increased during
the three-month period due to various rent increases as provided in the
rental agreements.

Total expenses for the three and nine-month period ended September 30, 1998
decreased $39,000, or 24%, and $100,000, or 17%, respectively, when compared
to the same periods in 1997. The Fund sold the Graham Court property in March
1997. Operating expense, related party, depreciation and general and
administrative expenses decreased as a result of the sale. The decreased
expenses in the three-month period were principally caused by an adjustment
to loan fees amortized which caused a reduction in interest expense of
approximately $29,000.

Net income for the three and nine-month period ended September 30, 1998
increased $35,000, or 233%, and decreased $335,000, or 78%, respectively,
when compared to the same periods in 1997. This was due to changes in revenue
and expenses as discussed above and the gain on sale of the Graham Court
property in March 1997 as discussed in note 4 to the financial statements.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At September 30, 1998, cash and cash equivalents aggregated $314,000, which
the Fund believes is adequate to meet its short-term operating cash
requirements.

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $86,000 when compared to
the same period in 1997. This was primarily due to the results of operations
as discussed above.

Cash flows provided by investing activities decreased $1,433,000 in 1998 as a
result of proceeds received from the sale of Graham Court that occurred in
1997 as reduced by amount received on a note receivable in 1998.

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

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (Continued)

Cash flows used in financing activities decreased $1,645,000 primarily due to
a decrease in the distribution paid.

As of September 30, 1998, the Fund had one remaining property in its
portfolio. As discussed in note 1 to the financial statements management is
currently marketing the property for sale, and a sale may occur in 1998.

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.

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 September 30, 1998, the Fund declared
distributions totaling $65,403.

YEAR 2000
Management is in the process of assessing the impact of Year 2000 issues on
its computer systems and applications. At this time, management believes that
the costs associated with resolving these issues will not have a material
effect on the Fund's financial statements.
