                   PENNSYLVANIA REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST


             NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

          THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997 AND NOVEMBER 30, 1996



1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Registrant,
without audit, except as to the balance sheet as of August 31, 1997, 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, 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, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments,
necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position and the
consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows, have been included.
The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily
indicative of the results for the full year.

On October 14, 1997, the Registrant filed a Form 8-K announcing it's intention
to change their fiscal year-end from August 31 to December 31. On February 17,
1998, the Registrant filed a Transition Report on Form 10-Q for the transition
period from September 1, 1997 to December 31, 1997. As such, the consolidated
financial statements herein include the Registrant's new calendar quarter and
most comparable prior fiscal quarter.

Certain reclassifications of prior period amounts have been made to conform
with current year presentation.

2.  THE TRO TRANSACTION:

On September 30, 1997, the Registrant completed a series of related
transactions pursuant to which the Registrant: (i) transferred substantially
all of its real estate interests to a newly formed operating partnership (the
"Operating Partnership"), of which the Registrant is the sole general partner;
(ii) the Operating Partnership acquired all of the non-voting common shares of
The Rubin Organization, Inc. ("TRO"), a commercial real estate development and
management firm (renamed "PREIT-RUBIN, Inc."), constituting 95% of the total
equity of PREIT-RUBIN, Inc. in exchange for the issuance of 200,000 Class A
Operating Partnership ("OP") Units and a provision to issue up to 800,000
additional Class A OP Units over the next five years according to a formula
based upon the Company's per share growth in adjusted funds from operations;
(iii) the Operating Partnership acquired the interests of certain affiliates
of TRO ("TRO Affiliates") in The Court at Oxford Valley, Magnolia Mall, North

                                     -5-

6. CASH FLOW INFORMATION:

Cash paid for interest was $3,299,000 (net of capitalized interest of
$205,000) and $2,344,000 for the three months ended December 31, 1997 and
November 30, 1996, respectively.

7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:

Environmental matters have arisen at certain properties in which the
Registrant has an interest for which reserves have previously been
established. In management's opinion, no incremental cost will be incurred on
these properties.

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 ongoing, 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.

8. SUBSEQUENT EVENT:

On January 26, 1998, the Registrant acquired the remaining 50% interest in a
shopping center under construction located in Newark, Delaware, for a purchase
price of at least $8.7 million consisting of $6 million in cash, $2.7 million
to be paid through the issuance of operating partnership (OP) units upon
completion of the shopping center, and a contingent payment to issue
additional OP units upon completion of construction based on a predetermined
formula which calculates the value of the center.

          MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

                           AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS



The TRO Transaction

On September 30, 1997, the Registrant acquired The Rubin Organization, Inc.
("TRO", renamed "PREIT-RUBIN, Inc."), a commercial property development and
management firm, and certain related real estate interests (the "TRO
Transaction").

As part of the TRO Transaction, the Registrant acquired Magnolia Mall, located
in Florence, South Carolina, North Dartmouth Mall, located in North Dartmouth,
Massachusetts and a 50% interest in the Court at Oxford Valley, located in
Langorne, Pennsylvania. The Registrant also acquired the development rights of
certain affiliates of TRO ("TRO Affiliates"), subject to related obligations,
in Christiana Power Center (Phases I and II), Red Rose Commons and Blue Route
Metroplex. In addition, the Registrant agreed to acquire the interests of TRO
Affiliates in Hillview Shopping Center and Northeast Tower Center, both of
which are currently under construction, at prices based upon a pre-determined
formula.

The TRO Transaction was financed through the issuance of 646,286 Class A
Operating Partnership Units in PREIT Associates, L.P. (the "Operating
Partnership), assumption of mortgage indebtedness at Magnolia Mall of
approximately $25.2 million, and $59.9 million of cash. The cash was obtained
primarily from borrowings under a new Credit Facility entered into by the
Operating Partnership coincident with the September 30, 1997 closing of the
TRO Transaction with a group of banks led by CoreStates Bank, N.A. The
obligations of the Operating Partnership under the new Credit Facility have
been guaranteed by the Registrant.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Borrowings under the Credit Facility increased from approximately $34 million
at August 31, 1997 to approximately $90 million at September 30, 1997,
following the consummation of the TRO Transaction. On December 23, 1997, the
Registrant sold 4,600,000 common shares of beneficial interest at a price of
$22.375 per share. The net proceeds to the Registrant from the public
offering, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions were
approximately $97 million. The Registrant used the net proceeds to prepay the
$8.8 million mortgage loan (8.25%) secured by Cobblestone Apartments in
Pompano Beach, Florida (the "Cobblestone Mortgage") and to repay approximately
$88 million of amounts then outstanding under the Credit Facility.

                                     -11-
<PAGE>



Since September 30, 1997, the interest rate on the Credit Facility was set at
a margin equal to 1.7% over 30-day LIBOR. As a result of the reduction in the
Registrant's Leverage Ratio, following the December 1997 public offering, the
interest rate is expected to be reduced by 30 basis points to a margin of 1.4%
over 30-day LIBOR. In addition, the maturity date for the Credit Facility will
be extended from September 30, 1999 to December 31, 2000.

As of December 31, 1997, $10.3 million of borrowings under the Credit Facility
were outstanding ($4.6 million directly by the Operating Partnership and $5.8
million through partnerships and joint ventures) and, subject to the terms and
conditions of the Credit Facility, up to $139.7 million was available to fund
property acquisitions, scheduled debt maturities and other uses.

In addition to the Credit Facility, the Registrant has a $33.8 million Term
Loan outstanding as of December 31, 1997, which is secured by three
properties. This loan accrues interest at a fixed rate of 8.62% and matures in
March 1998. The Registrant anticipates repaying the balance outstanding under
the Term Loan on the maturity date with borrowings under the Credit Facility.

In addition to amounts due under the Credit Facility and under the Term Loan,
during the next three years mortgage loans secured by properties owned by
three partnerships in which the Registrant has an interest mature by their
terms. Balloon payments on these loans total $17.0 million, of which the
Registrant's proportionate share is $8.5 million.

The Registrant expects to meet its short-term liquidity requirements generally
through its available working capital and net cash provided by operations. The
Registrant believes that the net cash provided by operations will be
sufficient to allow the Registrant to make any distributions necessary to
enable the Registrant to continue to qualify as a REIT under the Code. The
Registrant also believes that the foregoing sources of liquidity will be
sufficient to fund its short-term liquidity needs for the foreseeable future,
including capital expenditures, tenant improvements and leasing commissions.

The Registrant expects to meet certain long-term liquidity requirements such
as property acquisitions, scheduled debt maturities, renovations, expansions
and other non-recurring capital improvements through borrowings under the
Credit Facility, long-term secured and unsecured indebtedness and the issuance
of additional equity securities.

(1) Funds from operations ("FFO") is defined as income before gains (losses)
on investments and extraordinary items (computed in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles "GAAP") plus real estate depreciation and
similar adjustments for unconsolidated joint ventures after adjustments for
non-real estate depreciation and amortization of financing costs. FFO should
not be construed as an alternative to net income (as determined in accordance
with GAAP) as an indicator of the Registrant's operating performance, or to
cash flows from operating activities (as determined in accordance with GAAP)
as a measure of liquidity. In addition, the Registrant's measure of FFO as
presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other
companies.

(2) Net of minority interest of $50,000 in 1997 and $66,000 in 1996.

(3) Assuming full conversion of the 646,286 Operating Partnership Units into
shares of the Registrant. The weighted average effect for the three months
ending December 31, 1997 and November 30, 1996 was 646,286 and 0,
respectively.

Net cash provided by operating activities increased to $3,452,000 from
$3,016,000 for the three months ended December 31, 1997, as compared to the
three months ended November 30, 1996. The increase is primarily attributable
to additional operating income provided by Magnolia Mall and North Dartmouth
Mall which the Registrant acquired on September 30, 1997, offset by the
prepayment of real estate taxes in the 1997 period and the timing of other
working capital changes.

Net cash used in investing activities was $2,027,000 for the three months
ended December 31, 1997, as compared to net cash provided by investing
activities of $14,748,000 for the three months ended November 30, 1996.


                                     -13-
<PAGE>

Investing activities in the 1997 period include proceeds of approximately $3.9
million from the Registrant's sale of interests in Gateway Mall, St.
Petersburg, Florida, offset by transaction costs paid in connection with the
TRO Transaction and additional advances for property under development.
Investing activities in the 1996 period include the Registrant's share of
proceeds totaling $15.4 million from the refinancing of debt at two
properties.

Net cash used in financing activities was $2,158,000 for the three months
ended December 31, 1997, as compared to $16,768,000 for the three months ended
November 30, 1996. Financing activities in the 1997 period include the net
proceeds from the sale of 4.6 million shares of the Registrant which totaled
$96.8 million. The proceeds from the public offering were used to repay
outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility and to repay an $8.8 million
mortgage loan. Financing activities in the 1996 period included net repayments
of bank loans totaling $12.4 million and normal amortization of mortgage debt.
Distributions paid to shareholders were approximately $4.1 million in both
periods.

Results of Operations

Three Month Periods Ended December 31, 1997 and November 30, 1996

Gross revenues from real estate increased by $3,785,000 to $13,753,000 for the
three month period ended December 31, 1997, as compared to the three month
period ended November 30, 1996. The 1997 period included $3,540,000 of
revenues attributable to Magnolia Mall and North Dartmouth Mall, which the
Registrant acquired on September 30, 1997. Revenues from properties owned
during both periods increased by $245,000 primarily as a result of an increase
in apartment revenues.

Operating expenses increased by $1,538,000 to $5,551,000. The 1997 period
included $1,326,000 of expenses attributable to Magnolia Mall and North
Dartmouth Mall which the Registrant acquired on September 30, 1997. Operating
expenses from properties owned during both periods increased by $212,000
primarily due to increases in operating costs for apartments of $150,000.

Depreciation and amortization increased by $527,000 to $2,067,000 primarily as
a result of depreciation of $407,000 on the addition of the Magnolia Mall and
North Dartmouth Mall properties and increased amortization of financing costs.

Interest expense increased by $1,245,000 to $3,604,000 as a result of interest
on borrowings against the Registrant's credit facility for acquisitions and
working capital needs.

                                     -14-
<PAGE>



Equity in income of partnerships and joint ventures increased by $278,000 to
$1,604,000 primarily as a result of the Registrant's purchase of a 50%
interest in Oxford Valley Road Associates on September 30, 1997, the income of
which was $113,000. The 1996 period includes a prepayment penalty in the
amount of $214,000 due to the refinancing of debt at Lehigh Valley Mall. The
1996 period also includes income from properties sold during 1996 in the
amount of $66,000.

Equity in income of PREIT-RUBIN for the 1997 period was $260,000.

The gain on the sale of interest in real estate of $2,090,000 in the 1997
period relates to the sale of the Registrant's 60% interest in Gateway Mall,
St. Petersburg, Florida.

Minority interest increased by $359,000 to $449,000 as a result of a the Class
A OP Units issued in connection with the TRO Transaction.

Net income for the quarter ended December 31, 1997 increased to $5,436,000
from $2,639,000 as reported in the comparable period in the prior year.

Part II.  Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Reference is made to the litigation between the Registrant and affiliates of
the Registrant and Daniel Berman and Robert Berman and/or entities owned or
controlled by them (collectively, the "Bermans") most recently described in
Item 3 of the Registrant's Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended
August 31, 1997, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November
28, 1997.

In December 1997, the court in the Delaware Litigation issued an opinion
granting partial summary judgment in favor of the Registrant and certain of
its affiliates on certain counterclaims of the Bermans in that action (which
counterclaims are substantially similar to the claims made by the Bermans as
plaintiffs in the Pennsylvania Litigation). Under the court's decision: the
Bermans would be liable for one-half of (i) the costs incurred at Eagles' Nest
and in respect of the 14 acre undeveloped tract in Coral Gables, Florida, and
(ii) reasonable environmental clean-up costs at Fox Run; and the counterclaims
of the Bermans relating to Eagles' Nest and Fox Run were dismissed. The court
did not dismiss counterclaims by the Bermans in the Delaware Litigation
alleging that (i) there had been an oral modification of the management
agreement relating to Fox Run (and the court therefore permitted the Bermans
to continue to manage that project until that claim is resolved), and (ii) the
environmental clean up costs incurred by certain of the Registrant's
affiliates at Fox Run were excessive.

The Registrant intends to continue to vigorously resist plaintiffs' claims in
the Pennsylvania Litigation and the defendants' remaining counterclaims in the
Delaware Litigation and to pursue the claims asserted by the Registrant in the
Delaware Litigation. 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.

Item 4.  Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

The 1997 Annual Meeting of Holders of Certificates of Beneficial Interest of
the Registrant was held on December 16, 1997, pursuant to a Notice of Meeting
and related proxy statement dated November 14, 1997, and filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 14a-6(b) on November 18,
1997.

At the Annual Meeting, Ms. Rosemarie B. Greco and Messrs. William F. Dimeling
and George F. Rubin were reelected to the Board of Trustees of the Registrant
for terms expiring at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held in 2001.
In such election, 7,033,092 shares were voted for the election of Ms.
Rosemarie B. Greco, 7,014,196 shares were voted for the election of Mr.
William F. Dimeling and 7,036,022 shares were voted for the election of Mr.
George F. Rubin. Under the Trust Agreement for the Registrant, votes cannot be
cast against a candidate. Proxies filed at the 1997 Annual Meeting by the
holders of 84,188 shares withheld authority to vote for Ms. Greco, those filed
by the holders of 103,084 shares withheld authority to vote for Mr. Dimeling
and those filed by the holders of 81,258 shares withheld authority to vote for
Mr. Rubin. The following persons continued as Trustees following the Annual

                                     -16-

Meeting: for terms expiring at the 1999 Annual Meeting - Sylvan M. Cohen, Lee
H. Javitch and Jonathan B. Weller; for terms expiring at the 2000 Annual
Meeting - Ronald Rubin, Leonard I. Korman and Jeffrey P. Orleans.

Also at the Annual Meeting, the shareholders approved amendments to the
Registrant's 1990 Stock Option Plan for Non-Employee Directors, which
amendments were described in detail in the Registrant's Proxy Statement for
the Annual Meeting. The holders of 6,533,212 shares voted for approval of the
amendments, the holders of 429,700 shares voted against approval of the
amendments, and the holders of 152,080 shares abstained from voting on the
amendments.


Item 5.  Other Information

On January 26, 1998, a wholly-owned affiliate of PREIT Associates, L.P., the
operating partnership of the Registrant, effectively acquired both the fee
interest in the land for Phase I of the Registrant's Christiana Power Center
retail project and the 50% interest in the project not previously owned by the
Registrant. The consideration paid for the acquisition of such land and
interest was $6.0 million plus the right of the transferror to receive Limited
Partner units in PREIT Associates, L.P. upon completion of the Center. The
value of the limited partner units to be issued will be equal to approximately
$2.7 million plus 50% of the equity value of the center to be computed
following completion based upon an agreed-upon formula. Units of limited
partner interest in PREIT Associates, L.P. are redeemable for cash equal to
the price of the Registrant's Shares at the time of redemption, or, at the
option of the Registrant, Shares of the Registrant on a one-for-one basis.
Construction of Phase I commenced in the fourth quarter of 1997 and
substantial portions of the Center are expected to be completed in the fourth
quarter of 1998.
