1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION:
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Registrant,

included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and
regulations, although the Registrant believes that the disclosures are adequate
to make the information presented not misleading. It is suggested that these
consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited
financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Registrant's latest
annual report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of the Registrant, all adjustments
and eliminations, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to
present fairly the consolidated financial position of the Registrant as of
February 29, 1996 and August 31, 1995 and the consolidated results of its

<PAGE>
5. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:
Environmental matters have arisen at certain properties in which the Registrant
has an interest for which reserves have previously been established. During the
six months ended February 29, 1996, the Registrant advanced funds totaling
$30,000 which were recorded against the previously established reserves.
The Registrant has been named as a defendant in a suit brought by persons and
their affiliates who are partners of the Registrant in three partnerships. The
Registrant is vigorously defending the suit and has denied the plaintiffs'
allegations. The Registrant also believes that it has viable claims against
certain of the same partners (or their affiliates) which it is asserting. As the
pleadings are not yet closed and discovery is still in the preliminary stages,
it is not possible to judge the ultimate outcome of these suits at this time.
However, Management does not believe that resolution of these matters will have
a material adverse effect on the Registrant's financial condition or results of
operations.

PENNSYLVANIA REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Liquidity and Capital Resources
In February 1996, a partnership in which the Registrant has a 40% interest
completed the refinancing of its 312-unit apartment community in Altamonte
Springs, Florida, with the placement of a $5,700,000 10-year mortgage maturing
in February 2006. The interest rate is 7.5% and amortization is based on a
25-year schedule. The excess proceeds of the refinancing of $777,000 were
distributed to the partners with 60% distributed to the Registrant.
In December 1995, a partnership in which the Registrant has a 50% interest reset
the interest rate on the $16,150,000 mortgage secured by its 264 unit apartment
community in Coral Springs, Florida. The interest rate for the remaining five
years of the mortgage term was reset to 8.235% from 9.875%. The revised annual
debt service is $1,526,000, including amortization based on a 25-year schedule,
compared with $1,594,000 on an interest-only basis.
Funds from operations (FFO) decreased by $530,000 for the six months ended
February 29, 1996, as compared to the same period in 1995. The decrease in FFO
resulted from lower net income in 1996 as compared to the 1995 period as
discussed below, partially offset by increased depreciation expense on real
estate assets. Funds from operations do not represent cash generated from
operations as defined by generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and
is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs.

(1) Effective fiscal year 1996, the Trust has implemented a revised definition
of funds from operations (FFO) based on recommendations recently adopted by
the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, and has restated
FFO for 1995 (with a downward adjustment for depreciation of non-real
estate assets and amortization of deferred financing costs) to conform with
the revised definition. FFO is defined as income before gains (losses) on
investments and extraordinary items (computed in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles) plus real estate depreciation and similar
adjustments for unconsolidated joint ventures and less non real estate
depreciation and amortization of financing costs. FFO is not necessarily
indicative of cash available to fund cash needs.
(2) Net of minority interest of $128,000 in 1996 and $118,000 in 1995.

<PAGE>
Net cash provided by operating activities decreased to $6,590,000 for the six
months ended February 29, 1996 as compared to $7,938,000 for the same period
last year. Operating cash flow was lower as a result of decreased net income as
discussed below and the timing of certain operating expense disbursements,
partially offset by increased depreciation and amortization expense from the
Boca Palms acquisition.
Net cash used in investing activities was $335,000 in the six months ended
February 29, 1996 as compared to $36,021,000 in the same period last year. For
the six months ended February 28, 1995, the Registrant invested $34,000,000 for
the acquisition of Boca Palms Apartments.
Net cash used in financing activities was $5,732,000 for the six months ended
February 29, 1996 as compared to net cash provided by financing activities of
$27,668,000 in the same period last year. Financing activities in 1996 include a
mortgage note payable on Shenandoah Village Apartments of $8,800,000, a
reduction in bank loans payable of $5,100,000 and $8,156,000 of distributions
paid to beneficiaries. Financing activities in 1995 include bank borrowings used
to finance the Boca Palms acquisition and $8,150,000 of distributions paid to
beneficiaries.
Results of Operations
Three-Month Period Ended February 29, 1996 and February 28, 1995
Gross revenues from real estate increased by $117,000 to $9,620,000 for the
three month period ended February 29, 1996 as compared to the same period in the
prior year.
Operating expenses increased by $298,000 to $4,132,000. The increase is due
primarily to $150,000 of additional operating expenses as a result of the harsh
winter weather in the mid-Atlantic region this year.
Mortgage and bank interest increased by $188,000 to $2,441,000 as a result of
increased bank borrowings in 1996 as compared to the same quarter last year.
Equity in income of partnerships and joint ventures decreased by $27,000 to
$1,464,000, primarily as a result of $100,000 of additional expenses resulting
from the harsh winter weather discussed earlier.
Operating results for the quarter ended February 28, 1995 included a $119,000
gain from the sale of an interest in real estate.
Net income for the quarter ended February 29, 1996 decreased to $2,336,000 from
$2,832,000 as reported in the comparable period in the prior year.

<PAGE>
Six-Month Periods Ended February 29, 1996 and February 28, 1995
Gross revenues from real estate increased by $1,241,000 to $19,257,000 for the
six month period ended February 29, 1996 as compared to the same period in the
prior year. The increase is due primarily to an increase in revenues of $941,000
from the Boca Palms Apartments, which were acquired in November 1994. Revenues
from properties owned during both periods increased $300,000.
Operating expenses increased by $709,000 to $7,913,000. The increase is due
primarily to $451,000 of increased expenses from the Boca Palms Apartments and
approximately $150,000 of additional operating expenses as a result of the harsh
winter weather in the mid-Atlantic region this year.
Depreciation and amortization increased by $359,000 to $2,856,000 as a result of
the Boca Palms acquisition and ongoing capital expenditures.
Interest expense increased by $845,000 to $4,858,000 as a result of increased
borrowings to finance the Boca Palms acquisition and for general corporate
purposes.
For the six months ended February 29, 1996 and February 28, 1995, $263,000 and
$194,000, respectively, of carrying costs for land held for sale were charged
against the allowance for investment losses. Management believes that the
allowance is adequate at this time.
Equity in income of partnerships and joint ventures decreased by $211,000 to
$3,031,000, primarily as a result of a nonrecurring lease termination fee
received from a shopping center tenant in the first quarter of fiscal year 1995.
The Trust's share of partnership and joint venture income in 1996 was also
reduced by approximately $100,000 as compared to the prior year due to higher
operating expenses resulting from the harsh winter weather discussed earlier.
Operating results for the six month period ended February 28, 1995 included a
$119,000 gain from the sale of an interest in real estate.
Net income for the six month period ended February 29, 1996 decreased to
$5,181,000 from $6,177,000 for the comparable period in 1995.
